Good to have you back, Disa.

I also know that there’s been issues with the Lemmy-NSFW fork being used, some people want us to fork it, make modifications to it and use that. I’m going to shoot this idea down now. Burggit is just me and Burger, there’s no one else here, and we do have other things we like working on. We’re not maintaining an entire special fork. It’s likely that we will just go back to the main Lemmy branch, though I would be open to arguments against that or maybe even suggestions for already existing forks to use.

If compromise modifications aren’t an option, then I think it’s crucial that we stick with the NSFW patched version as it is. I conjecture that allowing NSFW posts and communities to be seen without logging in will make the difference between this place slowly growing vs slowly dying. I don’t have access to numbers to back this up, and we’d likely need a longer trial run of the NSFW patched version to judge whether there’s an inflection point. However, the “ghost town” effect that has been mentioned is real. People largely will not go through a registration process before they have an idea of what the site has to offer.

a significantly worse off reputation among those that hear horror stories of “Could you believe I saw ___ on the front page? God only know what they’re hiding behind locked doors for registered members if that’s what they show to the public”

This ship sailed long ago. There’s no point in trying to appeal to those that are intolerant of the existence of fetish content.

Definitely good for diversity of content.

That may in fact be what happens next.

`:blobcat`

If you type :blobcat a list of them should pop up.

HEWWO

The image is cached on burggit, so it should probably be fine. Not sure if imgur would block you or something though.

The title URL goes to imgur, that’s where the image is being hosted. Did you not paste https://i.imgur.com/5uP4LXH.png into the URL field when making this post?

I would join FOSS for Android, but fossware.space seems to be broken. :/

Also, programming.dev defederated us not too long ago, so there won’t be any further posts from there.

With all these defederations, have you guys considered making a SFW version of burggit (maybe burggit.social?) that can stay federated with everything, and moving the SFW communities there? Then this instance could be “loli containment”, so to speak, still accessible from the SFW instance.

Also, from the post on lemmyNSFW, it sounds like people from here were crossposting loli stuff to there? You’d probably have to really commit to the “obey the rules when on other instances” rule.
