Furry Chat

I just saw this game come up on steam today. Wondering if any of you have played it. I may not be big into Macro furs, but this game looks really fun and looks like a spiritual successor to Rampage. I might pick it up anyway since it is only $5.00.

For me, joining the furry fandom has had a huge impact on my life in a good way. I learned that it's okay if I'm different or "cringe" as long as what I'm doing is making me happy. I no longer need validation from others that what I'm doing is okay because I now realize that those types of people needlessly bully individuals who do stuff that doesn't match their definition of "based". I feel more confident in talking to other people which led me to becoming friends with the best person I've ever met who is now my partner.

I'm curious to know your story about joining the fandom and how it has impacted you so I can get to know this community better.

Back on reddit I was a chronic lurker, but with this fresh start is the opportunity to be a real part of a community!

I plan to use this account to share my not insubstantial collection of yiff with everyone, and the odd funny as well.

Why alpharius? Because I'm a big old warhammer nerd and it tickles my funny bone to name this account Alpha when it's the alt to my main, Omega.

Here are some interesting takes on how Puritanism has harmed lgbtq+ spaces online and the internet in general.

Just found this post and had to share since it rings extremely true, at least with my perception of young furries on twitter, especially when they found out I have a feral 'sona.

Fortunately I deleted twitter.

My name is Tahssi. My main sona is a wolf but I plan to change it to a fox when I finally get around to getting art of him drawn. Right now I just make my icons Loona. I actually just made a community here dedicated to her lol.

I joined Lemmy a few days ago. I learned about the fediverse right before the Reddit blackout and decided to give it a try when it happened. I'm glad to have joined and hope to see this community grow and thrive :3

Edit: added a picture of my current sona

What things do you like better now and what do you miss from older times?

My name's Elliot and I'm new here! Although I've been a Fedi user for over a year, I've just got into Lemmy due to... you know... that whole ordeal. It's so nice to see new communities form and I LOVE being a part of new projects. It's so exciting!

Here's to Yiffit and the future of federated instances! ❤

sighs There's been a lot of small changes in the last two days. And to topi it off yesterday we had a moderation incident which lead me to restrict community creation.

It might be my subjective perception because I've had to deal with all the stuff and then write every update to the rules and announcement, but I am worried you're feeling overwhelmed with all these small changes and announcements.

Fortunately I think the current setup should cover our bases for some time while I work in the background on staff onboarding to help me out with moderation.

Despite the small adjustments I still want this place to be as open as possible, allowing anyone to have and run their own community.

Anyways, gonna grab a bite. I hope everyone here has a good day :D

Is there an inflation community for us inflatable furs? Sorry if this is inappropriate!

Just wanted to introduce myself I´m Katsu (Allen) An artist who draws mostly NSFW stuff I´m 27 years old

(Sticker lines by FelisRandomis-Color by me) (the character showed in the stickers is my main sona)

I hope we can build a beautiful communitie here :3

I'm honestly excited and humbled by the huge amount of support the instance has received so far. It really feels like we're building something special.

I don't know if you've ever been in that situation, but imagine you wanted to build a huge sand castle or a fort with your friends, and everyone chips in. Someone goes like "I know! I can build a tower", another then says "and I'll build the moat", while in the background someone is yelling "leave something for me, I'm gonna run and fetch is some soda!".

It feels a bit like that.

Tomorrow I'll share a little bit more about the vision, a possible mini-roadmap, but also about some challenges we'll likely face.

But now I just want to thank everyone and give you a big hug!

I haven't been to a furry convention in a lot of time... which ones do you recommend?

Doesn't matter if it's far away. I do want to eventually be able to travel, but since I haven't been keeping track of conventions, I wouldn't know which ones people recommend nowadays.

I often hear that there's many smaller conventions that trump the larger ones in regards to experience, and that's what I'm most curious about.

Thank you <3

looks like subscribing to kbin.social magazines is not working again but any other community i could find on stuff like beehaw.org or lemmy.ml let me subscribe and now i really have a pretty good home feed going :D hope y'all are still enjoying it too! i hope a lot of people stay. imo the internet is too mature for companies to force people away or make ridiculous changes to their entire userbase. decentralized, federated stuff keeps the control to the users :D

I was planning to wait till the 28th to remove all my data from reddit and delete my account. But I decided to bite the bullet early Incase Spez and the other Reddit admins tried any shenanigans to stop redact data removal and account deletions.

As of now, I am now fully reddit free!

There's been a lot of progress today! Also a few questions have been raised which I'll have to look into tomorrow.

Thank you everyone who joined, posted or commented in any way. You're awesome.

Even if this never gets as big as reddit (although at this point who knows?), in the end what matters is quality over quantity and I feel we're on the right track ❤️

The only subreddits that's really doing anything about it is YiffBondage and Yiffgif, who have the same moderator (here's the link to their announcement: https://redd.it/14641t4)

All other subreddits I'm subscribed to won't do anything. r/yiff and r/gfur haven't said a word as far as I know.

This hasn't anything to do with me running yiffit. For all I care they could setup their own yiff focused instance. The reason I care is because anyone who believes that Reddit won't be ready to kill yiff subreddits to appeal more to advertisers is seriously deluded.

To be honest I believe that by the end of 2023 Reddit will have banned NSFW subreddits or at least most fringe NSFW subreddits just like imgur recently did the same. They're just dealing with this 3rd party app thing first and after people have stopped caring about that they're going to hunt down NSFW subreddits, starting with yiff or anything that's "weird".

If they don't speak up now, it'll be eventually too late.

When I go to upload images, I get an error saying:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Tried on both mobile and desktop chrome and firefox

You know Reddit is screwing up when the amount of Lemmy instances spikes up like this

And it's only been a week... How do you think it's going to end?

Reddit will probably still be massive but I can see a lot of quality content moving to the fediverse. What do you think?

Thank you for approving me so fast! I saw a distinct lack of furry instances (at least from what I could see) on Lemmy when I first joined on another instance, but I'm glad to see that's not the case anymore. Excited to start sharing my art across the communities. c:

Fuck reddit and their corporate BS. I hope Lemmy and other fediverse platforms take off.

No lemmy account? No problem! You can submit content by simply writing a post from your favorite mastodon/fediverse client and mentioning the community you want to post to: @chat
