FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 1hMastodon instances (which "federate" with each other across sites/instances and share posts that way). We are how bridging to that system for our own posts to populate over there 000
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 1hWe fully encourage folks to use Fluxer Proper, but a lot of our friends have been burned by large platforms, and we opted to provide an alternative. We currently have a few thousand users and a few hundred servers 010
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 1hWe are using Fluxer's software to create our own instance. We cater specifically to a pro-furry, pro-lgbt, pro-kink crowd and all of our user's data is self-hosted by like-minded folks on hardware owned by another like-minded host. We want to provide a reliably friendly space. 110
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 3hNothing for our actual platform; but our bluesky account will now cross-post to a mastodon proxy for folks over there to see anything we post here 110

We welcome you to our pro-furry, pro-kink, pro-LGBT Fluxer instance, FluxFur. Thanks for checking us out. Hop on in quickly, before registration closes!fluxfur.com 24428312
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 3hWe are now bridged to the Fediverse via @ap.brid.gy ! Hello, folks over there! 4215
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 9hWe are completely unconnected with Fluxer accounts and it is not possible for them to affect each other any more than a discord account to the same email might. Happy to assist, however, if you want to DM 110
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 29/09/2026Bluesky, please stop having issues when I'm trying to make a maintenance announcement post for everyone... Thank you. 0230
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 29/09/2026We will be performing emergency maintenance at 5:00 PM CDT. Fluxer has updated their mobile clients to utilize a new captcha system which is causing mobile to fail to verify during login. We need to update our instance to support it. We will go down for approximately 30 minutes, but up to 1 hour. 2408
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 29/09/20261,907 fine folks have signed up since registration opened!! Wow! Plenty more space, for now 06616
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 29/09/2026Sometimes browser privacy plugins still affect things even if they're disabled momentarily, for some reason or another. I've had a similar issue with the Disconnect plugin with captcha and it drove me crazy. Try a private browser session with no plugins enabled and see if it works? - Admin 000
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 29/09/2026Sorry you feel that way. We're simply trying to provide a service, and will happily assist if you need it. But, it's alright if you don't feel like we're worth your time. Best of luck! 000
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026If you want to try the workaround in the mean time to get the desktop client working, it's pinned in the FAQ channel of the FluxFur community server (see the explore tab). 130
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026Mobile clients do support 3rd party instances, but you've just gotta select "connect to alternate instance" at the bottom of the login screen and then specify "fluxfur.com". Eventually, hopefully very soon, that'll be the same for the desktop client. 130
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026Hi! We're just an instance; not a hard fork. The issue you're experiencing is because the desktop app doesn't support 3rd party instances *yet* (though there are workarounds), but the feature is apparently ready to ship and will be available soon. We've all been using the web app + mobile clients 120
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026We've had an enormous flood of users in the past 24 hours or so, and we still have plenty of room for more! Thanks so much for giving us a chance, and we hope you'll find some fun communities (or start your own!) 09823
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026Check our FAQ in the FluxFur Community Server (see the explore tab once on the web app/website). Short answer: Yes for mobile app, Very Soon for desktop app 010
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026That will, in fact, require federation, and we intend to take full advantage of that feature once it exists 030
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026That's what it's about, yeah. We're re-opening the ability to make an account for a limited number of users for the time being 010
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026Did you do a workaround for that? We definitely had to give bluesky our birthdays. Regardless, we respect your choice to not trust platforms with your info. Fwiw, we ask because all users have to be at least 18 years old to join FluxFur. 100
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026Minors are not allowed on our platform, so please send us a report or contact the administrators if you know of anyone breaking our Terms of Service regarding this 010
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 28/09/2026Hey! As others have stated, we use the official Fluxer mobile apps that allow to connect to 3rd party instances like our own. Mobile apps support this, desktop apps *will* officially support it very soon 030
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026Happy to; it's definitely confusing without the context, so we understand 010
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026We use the Fluxer software, and are therefore tied to their clients. We're hearing that the Fluxer desktop app is about to get a big update that will support 3rd party instances, and that the work is done and ready to be pushed out. We are very excited for that. 111
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026FluxFur accounts are their own thing hosted on our stack, so you'll need to make am account on FluxFur.com 010
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026That link is hardcoded into the fluxer software at the moment. We DO use their apps (mobile apps support selection 3rd party instance addresses on the login screen), but their *desktop* app does not officially support us *yet*. It is likely to drop very soon based on official word from Fluxer devs. 130

FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026Going down for 30 minutes (at most) for emergency maintenance to patch our issue with registration. 1252
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026We've made progress on fixing it tonight, but our core team needs to sleep, so we'll be continuing fixing things tomorrow, and then open registration. Again - nothing serious, but important to get fixed nonetheless before registration begins. 0191
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026Software updating has left us with a non-critical bug - one that we'd like to fix BEFORE we open registration to avoid critical confusion. Our services are up and operational, but we are going to push back registration by -just a few hours- and aim for Sunday afternoon, specifically. 34710
FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026We're back up! Maintenance is complete. We are waiting for services to slowly come back online - if any servers appear to be unreachable, give them up to an hour! 0243
Reposted by FluxFurFluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026We're down for maintenance, getting ready for registration! We'll be back up shortly after a couple of hours (taking a full backup). This is fully according to plan, so no worries 04815

FluxFur @fluxfur.com · 27/09/2026Update on this: After some discussion, we're actually going to REMOVE the time limit and limit registration to 4000 members. We don't expect to hit that many, but we'll see how things go. ETA in a few hours 031
