First thing’s first I want to establish we are not going to do anything to Burggit as it stands, we have no intentions of retiring the lemmy Burggit. Want to make that entirely clear. What we are talking about here would be As well as the lemmy Burggit.
Burger and I have been talking and we wanted to know if you guys would be interested in any of the following services:
A Burggit Misskey instance (You can get an example of how that looks here )
A Kbin/Mbin instance (It’s a lot like Reddit/Lemmy, but more federated, it can federate with all other activitypub stuff. Unlike Lemmy’s half-assed federation implementation) We actually do have a burggit kbin up and running at: https://kbin.burggit.moe/ but it’s kinda just in the background for the moment, not really a focus.
Or would you like some other instance/service?
We likely won’t be making something like a Pleroma/Akkoma instance as we already have https://shota.house which we run and fufills that purpose. For those who want an invite to the Shota House, just let me know! I’ll send an invite to any Burggit users who want in. (with some amount of genuine account activity ofcourse.)
We would love to hear your input/feedback!
Shota house is invite only because while it has a similar mission, it’s more so my cozy space. It’s existed for a while before Burggit and has always been on an approval only basis, this is to make moderation easier on me and also protect myself from bad actors and what not.
While i’d love to connect burggit and shota house in a way which would automatically let people join shota house. If they have had a burggit account for over a certain amount of time and have a certain amount of posts/activity. I’m frankly not technically minded enough to do such a thing. So the process will remain manual.
As for how I find these various services, there are a ton of various ways to find federated services such as https://fediverse.party/ which is where I first discovered various federated technologies. But I know others exist.
Shota House and Mastodon are both based on Activitypub. Shota House uses something called Akkoma which is a fork of Pleroma which itself is meant to be a super lightweight version of Mastodon, since Mastodon is legendarily bloated and hard to setup/maintain.
Hope this answers your questions.
