Announcing termination and archival of yiffit.net in 2025: we will be gone, but hopefully immortalized. (yiffit.net)

Hello everyone,

I'm sad to announce that I've come to the decision that it would be best to archive this instance given the overhead in administration and moderation that would be required to run it correctly.

Please note that this announcement ONLY impacts yiffit.net and that I have no intention of terminating packmates.org at all.

There is several reasons for this decision but most of them are based on my inability to run the instance with the quality and care that I envisioned. Due to the nature of Lemmy, the necessary moderation effort, media storage costs and admin effort are considerably higher than for a Mastodon instance, for example. It's not a matter of donations, which many of you have generously offered over the lifespan of the instance.

What is meant by termination and archival?

Some time after January 3rd 2025, fulfilling my promise of giving at least 3 months notice, the following will happen:

  • Yiffit will stop federating, all user sessions will be revoked and logins will be disabled.
  • The site will effectively become a read-only version, giving access only to local communities. NSFW communities will be accessible publicly without need for an account although equipped with an age disclaimer and anything else necessary to display adult content.
  • Remote communities and posts will no longer be accessible, thus remote instances need not worry that we would somehow cache any content which they would have wanted deleted if federation had been enabled.
  • Local comments and posts from remote users will be preserved.
  • There will be a way to receive and process personal account / data deletion requests for yiffit.net users or remote users who have submitted a comment or post.
  • I will attempt to find a way to have the site officially archived in the Internet Archive or in any similar way.
  • I will continue paying for the domain and hosting for an indeterminate period of time, especially since the storage costs of local content as opposed to remote content are negligible.

Technically there is a chance that we could come back at some point since I'll make sure to save the server's federation authentication keys as well as all local content, but I don't want users to count on it.

If we were to come back it would probably be in a form other than a Lemmy instance or anything else that I currently am aware exists out there.

If you want to post a farewell message, please feel free to send a comment below since everything will be archived and visible. Before archiving the instance, around New Year's Eve I'll create the final farewell message thread. Both this thread and the final farewell message thread will be pinned in the home page when the site is archived.

Thank you everyone for everything. I'm incredibly humbled by all the interest and users we've received over time and especially all the regular users who've kept posting constantly despite the downturn in activity.

Announcing /c/newcommunities: please subscribe to stay informed about new communities that are created on Yiffit.net (yiffit.net)
submitted 1 year ago by Wander@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net

Hello 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!

Update: File migration to object storage has been completed successfully! Hooray! (yiffit.net)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Wander@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net

This time everything worked as expected and images are fetched correctly from object storage after having been migrated there. I'll keep the images on disk for a little while before deleting them, but right now everything is already being fetched from object storage which means we have much fewer storage constraints.

Original post: Maintenance is ongoing: images are temporarily disabled. ETA < 1 hour. Images while be disabled while we move them to object storage. If you still see some, it's likely your browsers cache.

How to create your own community on Yiffit.net (even if you're a remote user)! (yiffit.net)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Wander@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
11 comments fedilink
 
 

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:

  1. Make sure you have created an introductory post about yourself at !chat@yiffit.net. This is the only condition.
  2. Send a private message to @Wander@yiffit.net with the text "COMMUNITY REQUEST" in all caps and then the following fields:
  • Handle (all lowercase, no spaces, underscore allowed)
  • Display name
  • If it's a NSFW, SFW or Mixed community
  • Whether everyone or only moderators can make posts

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.

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

ERROR incorrect_login but only on my PC? (yiffit.net)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Kolanaki@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
3 comments fedilink
 
 

I got on my PC today and noticed that yiffit, my homepage, won't log me in and just keeps giving this red banner popup in the left corner that says "error incorrect_login."

I know it's not my login/password combo; I am able to use Jerboa and Firefox on my phone to log in and do stuff (that's how I am writing this post!) but on my computer it won't let me in! Cleared the history, cache, saved info, etc and it just keeps giving me this damn error even when I try to open the login page to make sure it's trying the right info.

The main page itself just gives me the standard "server issue" error that I assume is Lemmy's default error page when it can't reach the server. But again, I am only getting this problem on my PC; my other devices allow me to browse and post just fine, so I have no idea what the heck is going on here. Is it my end or the server?

Weird behavior with youtube links (yiffit.net)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by l_b_i@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
2 comments fedilink
 
 

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.

Closing Registrations. Reflecting on viability of continuation of Yiffit (yiffit.net)
submitted 6 months ago by Wander@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
18 comments fedilink
 
 

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.

General inbound federation question (yiffit.net)
submitted 7 months ago by l_b_i@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
1 comments fedilink
 
 

@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.

Are there federation problems with Hexbear or did they stop moderating with Yiffit? (yiffit.net)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by Xirup@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
5 comments fedilink
 
 

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?

Federation issues with lemmy.ml (yiffit.net)

I'm not sure if this is a problem specifically with linux@lemmy.ml because I don't follow any other lemmy.ml communities, but it's been a month since the last post in there according to the Yiffit version of the community and yes, I'm filtering by new and if you go directly to the community in its instance there are a lot of new posts that never reach Yiffit.

I have another account in Dbzer0 and there are no federation issues with Lemmy.ml or at least with linux@lemmy.ml.

  1. Is Yiffit going to defederate from Threads? I kinda wanna see what happens with it first before someone else decides to block it, and this is my primary instance so I'm curious what the admins think and plan to do.
  2. Are y'all gonna be updating to 0.19 soon? No particular reason other than curiosity on that and I am using Liftoff so I'll have to switch apps when ya do lol

Members can now create communities without need for approval first (yiffit.net)

I have enabled once again the possibility of creating communities without the need of prior approval. Any Yiffit user is now able to create their community.

Since things have slowed down considerable and I'm introducing new automated tools such as the Yiffit helper bot, it's now possible for me to put in place some safeguards and allow community creation without the need for approval.

Pending Tasks by Yiffit administration (yiffit.net)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by Wander@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
5 comments fedilink
 
 

For the sake of transparency, I'm sharing a list of pending tasks that I know are pending. Hopefully this will also let you know that I'm aware of it and will progressively take them on.

  1. Currently the helper bot does not post if it can only find an e621 result, even if that e6 post has sources.

  2. Currently the community list updater bot is not scheduled and needs to be setup to run at least every day.

  3. The helper bot needs a dedicated username.

  4. Publish revised version of recommended tagging for posts

  5. Hold vote/poll to name the mascot

  6. I am testing a utility that will allow users to automatically share images they like when browsing e6 or FA.

  7. Make a statement regarding the removal of the Pokeyiff community, but to sum it up, it is unfortunate that its creator decided to delete it, but I don't think it would be right for me to meddle with their decision as I want community owners truly feel that a community is theirs, even if that means deleting it.

  8. Update the main welcome post.

Request to defederate from alien.top (yiffit.net)
submitted 11 months ago by Fal@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net

This is a spam instance that reposts reddit content, but the worst part is it creates a new user for every reddit user, making it impossible to block.

Since we can't block instances at the user level yet, I request we defederate from this spam instance

See an example here https://alien.top/comment/2110314

The Yiffit Helper bot is now live! (yiffit.net)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by Wander@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net

Hello, after a few test posts yesterday, the new Yiffit Helper bot is now live. You can see a couple of examples here:

https://yiffit.net/comment/3707677

and here:

https://yiffit.net/comment/3692105

The goal of the bot is to boost our appreciation for the work that artists do by linking directly to their gallery and post-submission. This is especially useful for little known artists who will appreciate if you follow them, favorite their image, or check out their gallery.

Please note: the bot only runs in communities where @Wander is a moderador. If you'd like to enable the bot in your own community, leave a comment here or send me a PM with the name of your community. You're free to choose whether to enable the bot or not.

Also, aside for the test runs that I've been doing, the bot will not comment on old posts to avoid notification flood. Instead it's set to now run every 30 minutes for new submissions.

If the bot fails to make a comment for your post, it probably means that it couldn't find a good match. It's not a perfect solution that will always work, but hopefully it will work as much as possible.

Thoughts on having a comment on every post that links to a list of local communities? (yiffit.net)
submitted 1 year ago by l_b_i@yiffit.net to c/meta@yiffit.net
8 comments fedilink
 
 

One of the harder aspects of navigation in lemmy is seeing interesting new communities on remote instances. What if there was a post here (meta) or chat that had links to all the local communities and when a new post is made to yiffit, a comment is added that links to the chat/meta post. That way if someone stumbles on something here they like, they don’t have to use some work around to see what else is here. I don’t know much about the lemmy API, but the list could simply check once a day?/week?/month? and update the post if anything changed.

Yes, I am aware !newcommunities@yiffit.net exists, but remote users probably aren't. I am also aware of the link in the sidebar (when present), but that is outdated and you only see it if you know its there.

Announcing status.packmates.org and status.yiffit.net

Heya everyone!
I've been mostly silent for some time, but it's all with good reason (I promise!)

Over the last few days I've spent a lot of time on server maintenance. Many of these changes will be invisible to you as users (such as getting a /48 ipv6 range, setting up SLAAC/DHCPv6, reviewing security and firewall rules, etc...)

But today I set up something that I can share: status pages!

Head over to:
- https://status.packmates.org
- https://status.yiffit.net

(they're the same page actually, but the different domain is to make it easier to remember if you're a user of one site and not the other).

There's a slight caveat in that the status page is hosted on the hypervisor itself, so if that goes down, everything goes down but you'll at least know by not being able to load the status page itself!

Ideally I would host this somewhere external but we're not there yet. One day I hope to even have a server cluster for redundancy, but we'd have to host many more services to be able to justify this.

FeralBot Schedule Change (packmates.org)

FeralBot Schedule Change

Effective immediately, FeralBot will only post twice a day, every 12 hours, at 8AM and 8PM PDT. This is to reduce what I feel is an overabundance of bot posting on the /c/feralyiff community.
