We've gotten over 100 sign-ups since launch, which is a massively good start, especially considering that everyone in the lemmyverse can subscribe to our communities and participate.

Now we need to keep the ball rolling to gain more and more momentum.

Here's some ideas:

  1. Go over to [email protected] or https://yiffit.net/c/[email protected] and introduce yourself. Your yiffit account gives you access to countless local and remote communities.
  2. Post your favorite artwork, SFW or NSFW (remember to give attribution)
  3. Create a new thread about your favorite food, hobbies or projects! Sharing art is only half what this instance has to offer.
  4. Create your own "subyiffit" / community and moderate it as you see fit. Carve out your own space.
  5. Help us come up with a name for our yeen mascot.
  6. Post here from any Mastodon account by simply mentioning it's name. For example @[email protected] or @[email protected]
  7. Tell your friends!

Corporations like reddit are counting on our inaction to keep control, but we have a golden opportunity to create queer, authentic furry platforms, run by furries, for furries.

Let's go!

loving it so far :D it's been more fun than reddit for me because this feels more like being part of something instead of just a big rss feed. that's what reddit felt like to me and with so many people there are already people who have said what i want to say 20 times over. i hope lemmy keeps the grassroots vibe ๐Ÿ’™

Thank you for running a server! I am worried though about server costs (including your time) as it grows, do you foresee this becoming an issue?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hey there! Time will be an issue, not money since believe it or not it's not much. I'll share more details about finances if I'll ever need some form of funding. What I will need more of is other admins / mods that can help me keep this running.

I still can't believe how warm and cute this community looks right now. Maybe it's because there are not so many people, but anyway I'm really happy to be here

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I get a similar feeling from lemmy at large, much less toxic than reddit and everybody seems happy to be here, super glad I made the switch :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you <3 It means a lot that you get this feeling. I'll do my best to make sure it stays tat way and even gets better.

Couldn't agree more, also for the future despite all their problems it would probably be better to set them up on Federated services. Non Federated ones like Tildes seem to have the same problem Reddit has when it comes to Management and infrastructure.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yup! Totally agreed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Btw thanks for hosting ๐Ÿ’œ

I gotta say I'm liking the lemmy experience a lot more than my attempt at mastodon. Though I may have to give it another shake.
