I remember a viral post on Twitter from someone listing nothing but complaints about Mastodon/federation which was written after the big furry instance, snouts.online, imploded. This was a few years ago. I'll admit it made me skeptical about the fediverse, but after actually trying it out for myself it's not as bad as that thread made out. Might be that that thread is still in the back of people's minds when they consider twit alternatives.

Beans!

Hah! Searching images with text is nearly impossible, but I did see a Martok image about doing battle against depression.

I was browsing kbin.social, and decided to check out my lemmy account. Looks like the NSFW filters aren't being sent over or displayed using kbin properly. https://kbin.social/u/@Capydeev@pawb.social <- you can see that my posts suddenly become uncensored after the 14th. But on this lemmy profile they're all flagged as NSFW.
Edit: Think I might hold fire on NSFW posting until I know that glitch is sorted. Sorry to any unsuspecting kbin users.

Thanks! Definitely check out Sassypant's gallery if you haven't already - they've got lots of portraits in this style.

No I can't see an image on Lemmy.

I'm following the furry community on yiffit.net using my mastodon account, and I saw a post show up on my mastodon feed. So I opened up the thread in another tab, and I've been faving/unfaving the mastodon post... and the score on Lemmy goes up/down immediately. So yeah, it looks like faves from mastodon are translated into upvotes on Lemmy.
I've also seen likes on my PixelFed notifications come in from Kbin.social users on this post that I sent to Lemmy from there - I'm assuming those were upvotes on their end.

I'm now thinking that some of the upvotes on that thread are actually likes and shares from mastodon. Edit: this might only be the case for new posts.

Ah Thanks ^^!

animalshapes made my avatar! A commission for me.

I know of and follow a few on twitter. A lot of capy sonas and OCs are popular among the Brazilian members of the community.

Oh by the way, EatingHawaiianPizza, by tagging in 'Furry' (furry @ pawb.social) your toot has been posted to the furry lemmy (reddit clone) community on pawb.social! https://pawb.social/post/59343 Not sure if you were aware.

He did a great job, yeah!

Test reply with ~~undefined ~~ English language. Have I really been here a whole week already?

Aw thanks! ^^

oh nice! I need to do some more blender work myself. This is looking cute!

Not sure where my Mastodon post went... As I said, nice to see Huie's art!

Indeed!

Somehow, back in 2003-4ish I found the fantasy art gallery Elfwood. Obviously I went to the first gallery, which had Ursula Vernon, Xianjaguar and a few other furries. From there I followed their links to Yerf and Livejournals and found more old school furry artists including Heather Bruton (...responsible for my "I like men now" moment).

Later I found deviantart, then the webcomic twokinds and eventually FA. I only really got involved in 2020, posting on twitter and reddit but never really found a community or friend group until looking into the furry scene on Twitch.

I've spent most of the weekend on Mastodon and Lemmy. Not looked at twitter nearly as much as I normally do. All of my subscribed communities are here, pawb.social and beehaw for now. I love being able to crosspost from Mastodon to Lemmy (can you crosspost to multiple lemmy communities in one masto post?) - bit annoyed that following a community on Mastodon boosts every single comment made in said community. I hope a solution is found for that problem.

Hello! Just exploring other instances from pawb.social!

Hello and welcome! o/

Seem to be unable to reply to my mastodon account from my lemmy account. Looks interesting though! Neat seeing replies from the communities I follow pop up on the other timeline.

Hello o/ I'm just having a look around and trying to figure out how this all works.
