Don't take this the wrong way, but Lemmy isn't really made for interacting with things like Mastodon. Sure, people can interact with it, but it's very convoluted.
General
Feel like you have something to post, but it's not really relevant to any of the current communities, and you don't feel like it's worth making an entirely new community just to post it? This is the place for that.
NSFW content is allowed in this community so long as you mark it as per site rules.
You also can't reach Baraag via Misskey, but you can reach Misskey via Baraag. I think Baraag is just weird.
It's nothing to do with baraag, the problem is that they're blocked by misskey.io. Been that way for a couple years now.
The reason why misskey.io appears reachable by baraag is because server-level misskey blocks doesn't prevent public posts on misskey.io from reaching baraag's database. Your interactions from baraag that target misskey.io accounts don't get reflected in misskey.io's database.
I wonder why pawoo and misskey block baraag. I didn't suspect it was that because sometimes, baraag accounts appear to partially load, but i guess that's just remnants of stuff in the db from before the block.
pawoo doesn't block baraag. I'm not sure why misskey.io does, I suspect it might have to do with how the admin interprets Japan censorship law as it pertains to online service providers, then again they also block a lot of other instances https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=misskey.io (scroll to the bottom)
misskey is complaining that baraag users don't mark NSFW and don't put content warnings, as @[email protected] (site owner) recently revealed. some users think it's fair, others are balking at misskey becoming twitter 2.0 and dictating other instances how to behave, fearing they'd next force japanese censorship standards onto baraag.
Ha, I was going to come here and link that. Personally I don't really mind Misskey's sensitivity standard being somewhat stringent. At least they're relatively liberal about what content is allowed overall.
Sorry for this being off topic, but I want to dive into Baraag. Any recommended accounts to get me started?
Here are the ones I follow. Obviously all loli
Wow, this is so helpful, thanks.
If you go in blind without any favourite artists you can immediately follow, I think you'll find your artists best by searching hashtags of your interest, then follow those that suit your taste. After that, expand by looking through their followings and their retoots. I managed to grow my followings a lot like this.
Works fine for me. It takes a moment for baraag servers to catch up with new (to them) fediverse nodes.
