Well, maybe not even everybody here would agree if I said “Burggit needs more users” but I feel like it’s turned into kind of a ghost town. You can see right in the sidebar we’re sitting at 100 users a week. I certainly wish there were more people here. Especially if you hide NSFW, there’s only a few posts a day and almost all of them have 0-2 comments. That sucks because I think this is cool as more than just “the loli lemmy”. (Even though that’s good too).
Of course, Lemmy quickly fractured into mass defederation and basically every instance is pretty atomized now, even the “big” instances. I don’t think we get a lot of people checking out from other instances. I would bet with the way modern Google works, nobody is coming here from a google search either lol.
So, is there anything that’s fun to link to Burggit on other sites that you guys have been sharing? I sometimes link people here from Reddit if they’re looking for real incest stuff, since I always was bothered about how Reddit has an unwritten rule that it’s banned but never says so explicitly, and there’s posts at least once a week from people looking for it who often get told that if it’s not on Reddit it must not exist. More importantly, I think the same is true for some SFW topics.
Of course, the front page is full of loli and people are kinda hostile to that these days. I just wish we could get 1% of the people who used to subscribe to all the loli themed subreddits (including SFW/memes) that were banned in the unofficial big loli purge, that would be enough to make it lively here lol.
burggit.moe/robots.txt pre-empted that out.
/u/The_Entire_Circus has been linking to burggit as a way to mirror reddit posts more likely to get moderated/AEO’d, but i haven’t seen this convert into more sign-ups.
Maybe part of it could be the “ghost town” appearance the feed shows when logged out - NSFW content isn’t displayed to logged-out users, so scrolling out of the first page is enough to show week-old post dates.
This is a real problem. Until lemmy implements an administrative setting to allow NSFW to be shown to those that aren’t logged in, NSFW instances are going to be at a severe disadvantage.
I compiled the nsfw patched version thanks to the lemmynsfw guys. Logged out users should see what’s in store. (inb4 they just fap and close the window lol.)
I still need to figure out how to label the version we’re on so that they’re displayed at the bottom. But I’ll figure that out at another time.

Beautiful!
It’s a bit late, but I don’t think showing NSFW posts publicly is a good idea. I’ve started a discussion thread on this.
