Basically what the title says, I been on Lemmy for 6 or 5 years, through different general instances, but being on a furry specific instance is soooo nice, I can just switch the view of my account from "Subscribed" to "Local" and I can access all the communities and furry posts with just one click, instead of mixing my subscriptions with my furry communities.

Thanks to the maintainers of this instance. :3

As a furry myself

That's ... not very surprising, here.

I wonder how many people are on pawb who aren't furries... I mean, there's got to be some weirdos out there who picked this as their home instance even though they're not into furries at all ... for some reason.

There was one person who joined this instance because they were Welsh and thought "pawb" was the Welsh word for "everyone" :3c They haven't been active in a while, unfortunately

Some people join instances without any commitment to the local community there. just using the server to access federation.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but for people like that ... why choose this instance in particular? They'd have to scroll pretty far down a list of instances to find this one.

Honestly it's a massive help. Always nice discovering new communities on the local tab that I didn't know of. Just earlier, found out there was a furry 3D art themed community, and it's the sorta thing I wouldn't mind posting some of my creations to.

I wholeheartedly agree. This instance is lovely and made it so much easier for me to join the Fediverse. Back then, there were a lot fewer posts, but even though it's a bit more active nowadays, it still feels like a comfy, familiar space. It's nice to have you here!
