Title. I’m honestly hoping that I can eventually sunset this instance if everyone enjoys it more. I genuinely enjoy using it.

There’s more variety of content there from a vast sea of instances versus here where it’s only a few cliquey instances controlling who gets to have a voice on the Lemmyverse. This Lemmy instance is much harder to maintain due to the fact that I can’t tell what images get uploaded here, which means anyone can use this as a free image host for illegal shit, and the fact that there’s no user list that I can easily see. Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy due to the fact that it rapidly caches images from scraped URLs and the few remaining instances that we still federate with. The software is downright frustrating to work with, and It feels less rewarding overall putting effort into this instance because it feels like we’re so isolated. I’m going to be honest, when I put this instance back up, I felt a sense of dread when doing so.

Federation is pretty much broken from Lemmy to Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma and their respective forks. So all we can get is this watered down content from the Lemmyverse from the few instances that still haven’t figured out our existence, as well as the ensuing defederation that will surely follow once they’ve found out about us.

So I’d like to get your guys’ opinion on this. Which software do you prefer? Sharkey or Lemmy?

    Please let both. The kbin instance was not much easier to maintain? This instance is the only one who supports loli content(in reddit format I mean). Would be very, but very empty for us who wann draw and share loli art without the risk of banning?

From where the fear came about being discovered by others? Baraag hosts lolies, ALOT (not being a problem, since I support the freedom of speach and art without shity morality for a drawing), andfor that mastodon instance was not a problem being discovered. Are you afraid that someone will report this instance with the fucking reason of hosting UNEXISTING ILLEGAL CONTENT WHICH IS NOT IN FORM OF DRAWING which will nuke every server you manage and eventually you? I can understand very well your feeling.

    But againg, my opinion (since you asked us), is to have the both worlds because the burggit is the only instance as reddit, whcih supports the nieche content which others does not have the balls/clit of steel to maintain it. Hat off to you
