How do I use Baraag?

by DEVO87

Hey all, I've recently checked out that Baraag site and I'd like to start uploading some content there once in a while. Only problem is, I don't know how to use it. I've been told the site is like a twitter clone but I've never had or been to twitter before. I think I know how to upload an image there, but I'd like to make sure it doesn't end up where it's not supposed to be. Anybody know how that site works?

its pretty straight forward. On the left side is the text box and then the options to add an image, poll, privacy settings, and a content warning. When you toot out the post it just adds it to your profile. Anything with an image you upload directly will be added to the media tab for people browsing your profile while the posts tab is just your direct posts and anything you boost, basically reblogging, and the posts and reply tab is the same but also with any replies to other people's posts you might reply to.

So when I'm on the home page, what is the difference between "local" and Federated" I clicked on both. Once shows content like the kinda I want to post, and the latter shows random shit. If I upload an image, does it go to either of those tabs?

it goes to both local is more baraag instance only and federated is all the mastodon so all the other instances. If you wanna look for stuff, just use the search bar and tags, but you can use local too or if you are brave you can use federated but i warned you is the wild west there every instance has its own set of rules some you will not like and some will disgust you

I think I understand now. I'm gonna try to post an image. See what happens. Thanks for your response.

to add, even if it might be unnecessary, mastadon is basically the base platform and people are able to make their own sub platform on it. For example there's one pixiv users like to use called Pawoo, and this one in particular is baraag. Theres other ones like fedi, youjo, kiwifarms has their own, etc, but as said before the local timeline is purely baraag users while the federated is pretty much every single mastadon combined. Since they're all on the same platform you can use the federated to find content on another sub platform and like the posts and such but otherwise you can just stick to baraag.

Here is my two pieces of advice

put tags to your work with a hashtag like cub or loli if you want people to find your work faster (because otherwise not many will find your work)

remember mastodon is a site with a lot of instances some of them are not good so if you see something upsetting or disgusting and is from outside of baraag block the account or whole domain of where they came from. But if the person is from baraag you can report them to koi and they will take care of it. it wont happen often but it can happen to know where they come from beside the @ it should say where they come from

Once you make an account you will get a dashboard you can customise with users/tags you follow. Left column should be where you can compose a "Toot" as they call them. Attachments are done with the paperclip icon under the text box. #tags are just typed in line with the rest of the text. It should offer a tag suggestion as you go. The "Getting Started" Column contains all the links you need to manage your account. You can manually add a Content Warning to a post to override auto unblur of a registered account.

I'd be more than happy to give you a full uncensored gallery at jabarchives.com we've been up and running since 1995 :P I don't censor content, never have!

Here's a much more user-friendly link to find you on Baraag. :)

I see other folks have largely described the majority of the rest of the site and how it works in general, but I can also answer many questions if any arise.

It's not worth it to use that Website. The creator of Baraag explicitly said that it does not support 4K or higher resolution images, and has no plans to support it at the moment. I don't really use it anymore because of that, since I don't want my art quality to become compressed down.

Your best bet is to use a Website based on Lolisafe/Chibisafe, and direct like to there from a censored/cropped Inkbunny submission.

I use https://lewd.host - It's pretty dead simple to use. Just upload, grab your link, and paste in the description.
