Theirs is a “Loli/Shota/Cub Friendly” instance according to their sidebar. That’s why they aren’t federated with many instances.
So hyper-sexualized little girls in anime style? Shouldn’t that fit right in with lemmy users? Because when I came onboard, I had to (and still do) block one after another degenerate sub like that.
“You don’t understand! It’s not a child in lingerie with huge begging eyes and monstrous tits! It’s art you troglodyte!”
Yeah I’m not disappointed to see this instance close up.
I’m pretty new here, and unaware of whats going on around me. So to me this is just "A thing is happening, and most people to be happy it’s happening.
Sooooooo…YAY! Go Team!
Omg… same here. My entire filter/block list is mostly anime communities and simps
Removed by mod
Always a shame when an instance shuts down, but it is nice when the admins are transparent and provide an advanced warning.
I don’t believe I am subscribed to any communities on that instance. Are there any valuable ones which don’t have an alternative on a more stable instance, and have not yet migrated?
Not that I think of, especially as they were not federated with most of the instances
Ah, it seems that the loss of this instance is not a huge loss to the fediverse as a whole, then.

That post complains about not being able to view/manage images hosted by your instance, but v0.19.4 already fixed that last week? So that kinda disproves them saying the Lemmy developers didn’t want it to be possible. Also the post complains about the amount of storage used by caching images but that was also fixed/improved in v0.19.4
Their other complaint about not being able to view a list of users, there’s an open issue for that, give it a thumbs up reaction if you think it should be prioritized (github lets you sort by them like upvotes) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2450
Also the post complains about the amount of storage used by caching images but that was also fixed/improved in v0.19.4
You don’t need 0.19.4 to avoid large storage costs. You can adjust your nginx setup to set a limit on the size of images allowed. For example, Feddit.dk only allows images up to 5MB. Anything larger than that will be linked to rather than stored locally.

Fucking amen to this seriously
Their grievances with the Lemmy dev team is pretty universal. I can’t wait for Sublinks to become the mature release.
I still don’t think the best solution to an under-staffed team is to try to make a competing under-staffed team. I think just contributing would be more helpful for all, especially with the plugin support coming soon to Lemmy
how long until Sublinks catches up to Lemmy?
Let’s not start again this whole debate ha ha
Also, piefed.social is a small team, but is almost feature parity with Lemmy
And nothing of value was lost.
Good riddance, one less pedophile instance to worry about.
RIP Bozo, blocked that instance ages ago, I don’t even know why we were federated with them
Story time
So this is back when the API thing was going on with Reddit I have been using Lemmy for almost 4 years now on and off. So I noticed all these new instances.
Anyway I went to theirs and I read their sidebar and I said you know they’re about open speech and people with differing ideas and stuff and I was like “all good cool that’s what I’m looking for.”
The I begun noticeing a lot of scantily-clad anime shit to which I blocked of course. That shit’s annoying. I am just a person who fucking hates anime altogether anyways, and that’s one of the reasons, is anime makes them look like little girls and shit.
That started to become like real consistent on their instance and I was like “Man this is annoying”
Eventually i ended up on a discussing post from what i remember it being, I forgot how I ended up on this post, but I started reading some of their comments and I was like “Wait a second? What the fuck are they talking about?”
I screenshotted what they posted (I was looking for it I can’t find it I have 3 thousand screenshots. I did try looking for it though) and posted it asking for opinions about what it was ppl on that instance were talking about, on my home instance.
I asked the community “Are these people fucking pedos!?” everybody was in agreeance and my home instance already had then blocked. Which was awesome.
I’m glad they’re gone I actually went ahead and deleted my account there when I saw that discussion they were having. I didn’t just want to leave it and never come back to it. I don’t want any association with that shit.
I deleted my account on their instance after I found all that out and you would think that the anime shit would have been a dead giveaway for me.
But I was naive. I didn’t know that the fediverse you can kind of have instances like that cuz it’s somebody’s own server.
I thought all that shit was banned on the internet altogether like even discussions about it so that was really weird for me and I wasn’t expecting that I was kind of shocked honestly.
