Meta community to discuss anything about the yiffit.net instance.

@yiffit.netHello there!
I have just created /c/newcommunities@yiffit.net to help local and remote users stay on top of communities that are created on Yiffit.
This is especially important for NSFW communities because remote users have no way of accessing them as they don't appear on our homepage unless a) they are logged in with a Yiffit account or b) someone at their instance has made this community available.
The idea for !newcommunities@yiffit.net is that community owners will be able to announce their newly created community here.
Over the coming days I will back-fill all existing communities so that users will have a list of all Yiffit communities. If you are the owner of a community at Yiffit, feel free to announce it at any time.
Cheers!
This post will explain how you can create your own community on Yiffit, regardless of whether you are a local user at this instance or not.
Background: We have restricted the unsupervised creation of communities since that could potentially lead to abuse due to the limited moderating tools that lemmy currently has.
Via request, we will still allow you to create as many communities as you want and to manage them as you see fit. We just want to avoid malicious actors.
The silver lining is that this will also allow us to create communities for remote users!
How to request your own community
The process is very simple:
Note: you can create communities about nearly any topic.
Non-furry and personal communities are more than welcome.
3a. If you're a local user, the community will be created for you, you'll be appointed as mod and then ownership will be transferred to you.
3b. If you're a remote user, the community will be created for you and you'll be appointed as mod. @Wander@yiffit.net will have to stay as owner since we can't transfer it to you, but we will not interfere with your vision or project for the community.
Community handles will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis. Community handles need to be unique, but there's no limit on how many communities about similar topics we create as long as they're not abandoned straight away and at least some effort is put into them to get them started. Thus, for example, if 10 people want a community about protogens but each with their own style of moderation, we'll be happy to accommodate you (although we might have a fuse blow due to toaster overload :P).
Despite the restriction on unsupervised community creation, it is still our intention to allow anyone to create any community they see fit as long as it abides by the instances's overarching rules
Has anybody noticed weird behavior with links to youtube? Specifically, instead of the video description, I just see some German text, which translation says is a boilerplate of what youtube is. From yiffit, no image and german text, from pawb, image and accurate description. . This looks like a recent change, everything older than about 2 days ago looks fine.
This is observed from the default desktop website.
Edit: Based on the comment from @Pronell@lemmy.world I would guess youtube made a recent change and the language is generated based on where the lemmy instance is hosted.
Next day edit (July 21): Whatever was causing has reverted. Videos posted the affected days are still messed up, but new posts look like they're working like they used to.
Edit: later in the day. Whatever it is is back.
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.
@Wander@yiffit.net is everything working as expected for inbound federation? casual conversations moved from lemmy.world to lemm.ee I don't see any comments or votes in the lemm.ee community from before yiffit was aware of its existence. I think I've seen this other places too, so I don't know if this is how its supposed to work, or its just a quark of the current code. In general federation to lemmynsfw is just broken here.
Was more painless than I thought. There's also 19.3, but that requires a pict-rs config upgrade and I'll leave that for another day.
I really only follow one Hexbear community here in Yiffit which is !libre@hexbear.net, but I just noticed that since 4 months ago there are no updates in c/libre here in Yiffit, although if you go to the community directly from Hexbear there are new recent posts, and a lot of them.
I already checked the instances blocked by Hexbear and Yiffit doesn't seem to be among them, but neither in "allowed" or "linked" instances, although I have no idea what it's the difference between these.
Any idea why this could be?
