[email protected] ;) they are cute too! Also from my quick check of this instance (recommended on my instance), https://falconry.party. Bunny enjoyers be warned, falconry.party has pictures of dead rabbits as falcons hunt them. [email protected] has no pictures of snake kills (both ones committed by snakes, and ones happening to snakes) yet and I doubt things like will be posted there for awhile. I'm pretty sure the latter would be very unappreciated over there.

In retrospect it might be a little weird that my two most favored animals have a predator-prey relationship ^^; and now that I am trying to appreciate birds it's getting even worse haha

Just wanted to say thank you for posting here a lot! It is very appreciated.

Hm. I probably should make a backup community. Have to figure out which instance I'd put it on. Thanks for the catbox.moe rec, I'll look into it.

Still like the idea of community redundancy though, more choice, and if I ever go crazy and become power-mad (let us hope not), or if I just make some important community decision people don't like, people can up and leave and still have a bunny place without too much friction. At the moment both [email protected] and [email protected] are pleasant places and I hope it stays that way.

Thank you!

It is convenient, but I do want to help take the load off. It is the biggest Lemmy instance and I want to grow smaller instances. I mostly feel bad about being on .world because it's the biggest instance and I want to make the Fediverse diverse instead of all centralized on one giant.

Worth noting I don't personally notice anything bad with .world or .ml, but I know part of me being able to say that is because I keep off Local/All on any general-purpose instance and stick to my subs.

Wondering about whether I should find somewhere else to host my images before I post them, especially since I post to/mod [email protected], on the biggest instance. I do crop them down to just the relevant bit and compress them before posting.

Also wondering whether to move off lemmy.world or if it'll die of low activity: most of our posts are from the same few people (thankfully I am not the only poster!), and [email protected] fulfills the same niche. I want to preserve the fact that there are two active bunny communities. I love the Bun Alert System, if you check our sidebars we both reference each other, but I also like the idea that if one of our instances dies, if the other community goes inactive, there is still a second bunny place to go to. So I do not want [email protected] to just die and have its users absorbed by the Bun Alert System.

I do like the idea of the old mod I replaced because they went MIA being able to come back, find this, and post/mod again, which is a small point towards not leaving lemmy.world, but ever since I got my feet wet at kbin.social and learned what was going on I've decided that I'd rather support smaller instances. I am only on lemmy.world because turns out you cannot see reports if you mod from an account from a different instance (at least, that is how it was when I first took over. You can literally see me trying to mod with accounts from smaller instances, finding it didn't work, and stopping via the modlogs of some Elevator7009 being added, and leaving haha).

Shot a picture of bunbun looking outside the fence. Looked like one of those shots where a character looks wistfully at something while dreaming of some goal. Or maybe the grass is just greener and tastier on the other side of the fence :P

Thank you for sharing cute pictures and a story of your snake, it makes for an enjoyable read and sight :)

I'll be honest, it is really hard for me to see this one as wholesome, given I'm part of a household where two people did not want a dog and one did. We got overruled. The dog-wanter promised they would do all the work, and I knew that that promise would be broken. I brought that up several times before the purchase.

Well, the people who didn't want the dog (including myself) get stuck with all the work. I for one do not like the dog one bit. I hate it. I have a feeling if it seriously injured one of us the dog-wanter would fight to keep it and flat-out ignore any trauma that might have been acquired from that situation (and tbh that already kind of happened). I want it given to a shelter as soon as possible. The other person—I cannot gauge their feelings, sometimes they agree with me but sometimes they call it a nickname as if they love it.

I am glad for all the people who are happy but man, please don't think because of all these "man who didn't want dog likes it anyways" posts that you can just bring an animal home that others in the household don't want and expect it to turn out like the memes.

I don't like to be the person ruining everyone else's fun, but I figure this is just one meme, a small bit of ruined fun, compared to the giant dump on my parade that taking care of an animal I don't like and that I never wanted is. There are lots of responsibilities that can be unexpectedly dumped on me that I will handle with grace. This is not one of those responsibilities. I don't want anyone else subjected to this because "look at all the anecdotes of people who said they did not want an animal and liked it anyways, there was a whole subreddit for that, surely it'll turn out the same if I do it!" And if I'm just being stupid and nobody would ever take that as evidence… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not Eastern cottontail, or just the lighting? The fur looks different

Thanks for providing context, and all the links. I read them, and I really have no idea what to think anymore.

I'm just going to keep posting and I'll probably stay out of any of this discussion in the future.

I definitely have not heard about this, thank you for letting people know!

 

I mod [email protected]. Was originally added with my now-dead @[email protected]. I cannot login to that account and remove myself because kbin.run died. Now the community appears to have two same-name mods. It is not the biggest deal ever but I would like a way to boot my dead account from the mod team.

a bunny (lemmy.world)

Bad camera quality on this one makes the eye look a lot like what you see during a solar eclipse! But hey, at least it's OC and I don't own a fancy camera.

I'm definitely still alive. I appreciate the [email protected] and encourage it especially because it's good to have things off of lemmy.world, but I figure I should probably still run this one so there's redundancy in case lemmy.sdf.org goes down. I was considering perhaps seeing if people want to move off lemmy.world to somewhere else…

If only my phone camera's pictures were as sharp as what my eyes saw…

Funnily enough, the buns look like they have googly eyes, especially the right one where it literally looks like I drew googly eyes in MS Paint on the picture.

 

I am normally happy to let the two communities stay separate but this video is just too good to not share here as well

 
 

So kbin.run is down and its admin's online presence seems to have vanished, taking [email protected] and my access to my main account @[email protected] down with it. Not sure if kbin.run and its admin will resurface, and even if they do, it is good to have a backup, so I have created [email protected].

(Why not post from the other modded account, @[email protected]? Because lemmy.zip is down for me too… wonder if it's a similar situation or just a coincidence and lemmy.zip will be back up soon.)
