Yeah, it’ll redirect. If for some reason that messes with federation for the Sharkey instance since a lot of lemmy instances will keep trying to make requests to the site even when the instance is down, I’ll end up putting up an HTML page saying that Burggit has shutdown and link to dill.burggit.moe.

Honestly? Good riddance. If your opinion on which software we use is what makes you not want to use our instance and the fact that MAPs are allowed on our instance, which is just me feeling like I owe RQD2 a favor for having our backs when we got widely defederated on here makes you not want to join up, then fine. Don’t use it.

I spent weeks going over which fork of Misskey we’d like to use since they’re all similar but have their own set of issues. Those being, some aren’t maintained (Firefish), others (Iceshrimp) are moving completely to C#, or some are in the beginning stages of their fork (Catodon.) I had my reservations about choosing Sharkey because of the transfem stuff, but the thing is, that:

• They’re a soft fork of Misskey meaning that if the project dies, we have a way of going back to Misskey if the need arises
• They have the bubbles feature which is where a list of instances that the admin approves of are in its own separate timeline. A feature I especially desire because the complete fediverse timeline can get pretty noisy, IMO.
• They’re being actively maintained. Their Discord has a lot of activity. And their git repo has signs of life.
• It has 1:1 compatibility with the Mastodon API. Which means Android apps like Husky, Tusky, Fedilab all will completely work with the software.

So me being the pragmatic person that I am chose Sharkey for the reasons outlined above. Again, this was me taking a couple of weeks of my free time trying out the various forks of Misskey to see which ones that I like and will make sure we aren’t screwed somewhere down the line if the project ends up dying or if the maintainers have a falling out which kills the project.

Now for the MAP thing. I have been outspoken about 100% being opposed to MAPs on our Matrix and RQD2’s Matrix. They haven’t banned me because of this and they have chosen to remain federated with us despite us being more of a free expression-y instance that a lot of the peeps on there would find distasteful, I feel that I owe RQD2 a thanks for having our backs when we have been widely defederated, and that’s why I went with the compromise rule that I came up with.

This post came across as you pissing and moaning about how we run things despite the fact that we are self-funded and don’t ask for donations. We do this in our free time, so this honestly came across as a slap in the face as well as exceedingly ungrateful.

Anything compatible with Mastodon will work with Sharkey. There’s Husky, Fedilab, Milktea to name a few.

It’s not 1:1 to traditional forums like Lemmy/Reddit, but there’s channels for which you can group posts following a specific topic. I wish this feature was more at the forefront, imo. You access it by going to More -> Channels

That being said, there’s a markup language guide for doing some fancy stuffs. Embedding images doesn’t appear to be in here, but what’s in here still looks neat:

Not sure about that. I’d just right click -> copy image and paste it into your post and link the source.

Any app that supports the Mastodon API is compatible with Sharkey. So apps like Husky, and Fedilab will work with it. You can also click More > switch ui on the webui for alternate layouts that you can try.

I feel the exact same way. I hardly use Lemmy anymore. It consists of the same tired ragebait articles on the front page of each instance. As well as the same familiar Reddit style of moderation where “Anyone who doesn’t agree with me gets permabanned.”

I suppose I should post the Sharkey instance URL while I’m at it: https://dill.burggit.moe

I personally lean more towards Misskey because I find it dead simple to maintain. Kbin/Mbin has a lot of moving parts to it.

I’m sorry, I simply cannot reproduce this.

I think I figured out the problem. Need to give it a while for federation to catch up.

I happen to notice this behavior if I’m using Lemmy on multiple devices. I’m not sure why this happens. I just assumed it was a “me” issue. Probably has something to do with tokens rotating, would be my guess. The token gets changed on one device, the other device isn’t aware of it and just logs you out because your token doesn’t match.

If it’s like the only spice, then it’s better than nothing, IMO.

They should cite it as a threat to democracy.

Yeah, toss that condom by the wayside.

Just updating you that it might be about a week before he can get back to us on this due to an IRL emergency that’s happening for him.

At a quick glance I can tell they’re just 3D models. I’ll see what @Disabled@burggit.moe has to say about this since I browse /3/ a lot so my perception of what constitutes whether or not a given image looks like a 3D model or looks real is quite skewed.

LOL

It depends on the policies of the home server. It’s technically allowed on Burggit’s space, but we’ve never had any requests for such a room on here. Most of what gets discussed is technical issues with the site, giving updates on matters, etc.
