< Ian > Hey, how does someone get their pronouns after their username on this site? That seems to be a thing on here but we don't know how to enable that.


#voidposting #newtowafrn #new-to-wafrn #wafrn #wafrn-question

Hello! We're new to Wafrn but not new to Fediverse! Our main account is @localvoid on Critter Cafe, but we're deciding to branch out to some new sites!

We're Ix/Local Void! We're 31 and a system, and on this account, headmates will post their names in front of posts like "< this >" to indicate who's speaking.

We like #movies, #music, #cooking, #karaoke, #webdesign, #drawing, and #kink, and we are likely to post about these things on this account. (Kink posts will be properly tagged of course; I'd say "minors DNI" but this is an 18+ site.)

We also post a lot about our feelings and experiences, particularly with being adopted, intersex, queer, disabled, and being abused for being many of these things. No one is ever obligated to read negative or vent posts, and they're tagged, but they do appear on this account.

For more info about us, check out our personal site here! We might also write a bio on our site just for Wafrn and link it from our profile and post it on here.

hey just to clarify what 'private messages' are…am i correct in seeing no, like, ≈texting? the 'private messages' area for me is a feed of posts where post privacy is restricted to me and another user; its posts, no other simple text messaging field. is that the intention or is my stuff broken?


#new-to-wafrn #wafrn-help #also-is-this-an-ok-(=relevant)-thing-to-tag-this-as?-ive-just-been-kind-of-guessing.-idk-what-other-tags-exist.-#help-looked-like-it-was-full-of-$-asks-fwiw

i dont know! i agree it would be a useful feature, ive wanted it too. i saw this asked of admin the other day but dont remember the outcome.

for 1 - i cant interact with those posts (because i…dont have a bsky…? nothing to link? (im new to the fediverse and dont rly understand))

for 2 - i would hope wafrn is for developing a wafrn-specific culture distinct from bsky, in the same way tumblr-specific culture is distinct from twitter (and often directly oppositional)…not just talking about mechanics of how posts are shared and interacted with but the content and flavor and style of content too.

like, its nice they can be crossposted smoothly ig, its just. i dont have many actives i want to follow yet, but i do want to get a taste of wafrn posting, so i frequent the explore feed, but then the explore feed is inundated with bsky and not wafrn.

wait how do i mark something nsfw? how do we deal with hornyposts/lewdposting here. i thought there was some sort of marking for that. or is everything i post already auto hidden from <18's because i marked my whole profile as adult ? ..


#new-to-wafrn #wafrn-help #alo? #nsfw

what mobile browser are yall using for the cleanest wafrning experience (iOS) specifically where the browser url and navigation bar DONT pop up conditionally and instead are hidden all the time? (/maybe only pop up after a very small and specific hitbox?)


#new-to-wafrn #wafrn-help #i-can-already-tell-you:-it-aint-duckduckgo;-firefox;-or-firefox-focus

are there any big example posts on here demonstrating all the formatting options in action? :p (oh my god why wont this emoji prompt go awayy im just tryna make a sillyfaaaaaace)


#new-to-wafrn #hey-does-capitalization-count-in-tags

hey so um on ios are we all using the wafrn app or a mobile browser? because well. see screenshot

i dont like the look of the app (loudish color scheme + textual clutter + is cut off at the bottom dimensionswise on my phone + 'notification permissions not granted' annoyance persisting) so i came to mobile browser for its sweet sweet minimalism but now uh


#new-to-wafrn #introduction #wafrn #wafrn-bugs

hai wafrn! sort of a "first day on the internet" kinda post, but i just wanted to introduce myself.

been doing furry art for about 2.5 years now, mainly on instagram. as i grew more into my anarchist leanings, i heard about federated networks, and recently i finally decided to try and wrap my head around the whole fediverse thing. even if its a bit niche, i still wanted to contribute to the cause. i read into wafrn a little bit and it seemed like a good fit for me, even moreso than the furry mastadon instances.

i'll start posting my recent stuff on here in just a bit. :3
