Hello, Unfortunately I am not able to take care of Yiffit as it deserves. Unfortunately, having been blocked by lemmy.ml, Yiffit is not a good instance to explore the lemmyverse because it is restricted. At the same time, I feel like there’s countles off other sites where Yiff can be found in a better way.

I have closed registrations for the time being as I gather feedback and collect my thoughts.

Thank you and apologies.

    Lemmy.ml is blocked by most of the rest of Lemmy, and it also doesn’t matter if they blocked us because we can still see it (not that you’d want to unless you’re an authoritarian communist).

    I’ve been using this instance nearly the entire time I’ve been on Lemmy and I’m on all the time. Being defederated from .ML has had literally no effect on my experience. Then again, most of the communities and users I have blocked are from Lemmy.ml and Hexbear because the instances are home to MAGAT like people who claim to be communists and generally have nothing to say but vitriol toward LGBTQ+, women and trans people.

    I’m not even here for the yiff, specifically. I’m here for the name and the fact it’s small and doesn’t get laggy or go down all the time like World does. I love it here. I am comfortable here. I’m willing to help with what I can if it means keeping Yiffit alive. Just… I don’t have money 😭

    .ml is a cesspool, no reason to put any thoughts towards them blocking the instance.

    And no worries take your time with your decisions.

    @Wander aww man, and I was looking forward to explore this as my entrance to the lemmyverse, some day, in my own pace. Your reasons are fully understandable though, fediblocks were a terrible design decision to begin with, way to ruin the fedi user experience.

      I would definitely disagree with that one, they may suck when they are abused but they are very much needed to keep spam and trolls out, since anyone can host a server you need the ability to block servers which foster toxic environments or servers with the intent to cause harm, banning users isn’t enough in those cases because malicious servers will typically spawn more users with different names or allow their members to create as many accounts as desired to circumvent remote bans. This is especially important on LGBTQ servers (which both this one and the one you’re on are) where many people are targeted minorities and in the interest of keeping them and everyone else safe necessitates blocking other servers.

      There are projects that don’t implement blocking or make such blocking functionally useless, and those spaces are for the most part awful places to be, overrun by crypto shills, scammers, and bigoted trolls.
