Just thought I would mention over here that Wander just announced the termination/archival of yiffit at the end of the year. I guess this will no longer be my backup account.

If anyone has been struggling to get a verification email:

  • Please ensure you check your spam folder (We’ve been having some mail delivery issues with AWS)
  • Send an email to [email protected] using the same email you created your account with, and include your username, and we’ll manually approve it in the database

We’re working to figure out what’s going on but it seems to be a mix of issues

I'm not even a furry, but thank you regardless for hosting one of the best lemmy users: Kolanaki <3

[–] [email protected] 2 points 26 minutes ago

i was also thinking about kolanaki

I'm just re-posting the message. Follow the link if you want to thank Wander. I'm sure Kolanaki will find a new home.

Well... Fuck.

Guess I'll have to move to Pawb. Is there, like, a way to migrate all my posts and shit to a different instance/account or am I just gonna have to start from scratch?

Edit: I guess I tried to make one before but never got the verification email. Not even in my spam folder. I have a saved login and such, but it says my email isn't verified.

to the best of my knowledge, comment history, post history, saves, messages, ... are not transferable to a new account. The only things that tools transfer is preferences, subscriptions, settings...

Sounds like we here at Pawb should get started on creating equivalents for all relevant yiffit.net communities, stat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yea, Awoos already said something to that effect but doesn't have an account over here yet.

I assume you had the same comment issue as me? https://pawb.social/post/14869255

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Funny thing -- it happened again when replying to you!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Got it in one. Any word on what's causing that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nope, and I replied to something just now from messages and it didn't happen we'll see what happens when I reply in the post itself. This one went through fine too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I assume @[email protected] already knows, but what's gonna happen next? Is he going to migrate his account over here? If he just disappears I think I speak for a majority of Lemmings when I say the platform won't be the same without him.

D'aww, that makes me sad. It was always nice to see a post from yiffit in my feed. But I understand Wander's reason for this decision <3

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

wiggles welcomingly :3

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Yiffit will also be immortalised in this year's fediverse canvas, and for that I am glad :3

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

That's too bad to hear; it was nice having the divide between (mostly) SFW content over here and (mostly) NSFW content on yiffit. That said, you're all of course welcome over here. :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Damn, that's a shame, although not unexpected at this point. I'll post some thoughts about it later over there, but I think I'd like to think forward.

Assuming it's okay with @[email protected] , I'll probably recreate communities from Yiffit over here and post some of the backlog.

Edit: Is email on pawb's side working? Haven't got an account creation email yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Investigating this! Apologies for the inconvenience!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

look in your Spam folder! For some reason the account creation emails from pawb social always lands in spam folders!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've checked there, but it only contains documents I've supposedly requested.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I don't know that your mention generated a ping. I don't remember any issues withe email from pawb. Obviously you could message crashdoom directly here or if you have a mastidon, there. There is also a contact email listed on the admin account @[email protected] if all else fails.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

F in the chat for yiffit, but we're always open :3
