Hello Y!gallery

We've been doing pretty well with keeping the site servers paid, most recently thanks to bro. However, it's time for another donation drive since Bro has had to move and moving isn't cheap. We could really use your help!

Last time we raised $492, which we thank you all so much for. You guys really delivered. We are going to set our goal to $600 again this time, and lets see if we can get there.

You can donate by clicking the kofi donation button in the top bar of every page on Y!g or the "Support Y!g" button at the bottom left of every page.

As always, you can see our donation thermometer to see how we're doing.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and kindness.

Hi guys,

As you may have noticed, ??? has a retired dot by thier name. Sadly, we the staff of Y!gallery have come to find out that one of our mods, Dyslexxicon, passed away in July of 2023.

There were people who were trying to contact Dyslexxicon with no response and this was brought to the attention of the staff. Broco, using information that he was told, checked into things and an obituary was discovered that was found to be Dyslexxicon. No information was posted in the obituary or elsewhere, so currently their cause of death is unknown.

Dyslexxicon had been a mod on our site since August 22nd, 2020 and were always friendly and helpful. They were a beloved friend and will be greatly missed.

Following is a message from a good friend of theirs:

Dyslexxicon, you were a very good friend and person, and someone who I will always remember. I will cherish the memories of us talking about our lives and interests, sharing art we liked, and spending time on PSN together. You were also there at both my best and my worst, and I appreciate you for trying to help me during those rough times. I've been devastated ever since I found out about your passing, and all I can do is hope you are resting well.

I will miss you, my friend.

Hello Y!gallery

Time for another donation drive!

Last time we raised $500 of our $600 goal, which allowed us to pay for 5 months of server payments while bro paid the final month. If we can reach our $600 goal this time, we'll be set for our server payments until the new year. We rely on your donations to keep Y!gallery going. Will you help us in reaching our goal of $600?

You can donate by clicking the kofi donation button in the top bar of every page on Y!g or the "Support Y!g" button at the bottom left of every page.

As always, you can see our donation thermometer to see how we're doing.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and kindness.

Hello!

We have a new poll that you can find [HERE] or on the right sidebar (just scrool down a bit) that we would really appreciate you folks taking the time out to respond to so we can get your feedback on a possible new feature.

Thanks!

UPDATE (01 Dec 2022): Please go into your settings and press the Get new Y!social Token/Make Y!social Link again. We've added the ability for Y!g to create posts with the preview image from Y!g on the Y!social post itself. Because of the scope change on Y!social, new tokens are necessary.

Because of the implosion of twitter, we have a special surprise for everyone. We've set up a LGTBQ+ safe alternative to twitter, called Y!social (or Y!s) for everyone. You will be able to cross-post your artwork from Y!gallery to Y!social by accessing some new options in your settings on Y!gallery. You have the option to have your artwork (excluding extras) and journals cross-post automatically, or you can switch the automatic feature off and only have specific items you check cross-post. You can have the cross-posts stay in sync with the journals and submissions they're based off (this can be enabled in your Y!g settings under General Settings). This means any edits you make on your journals or submission on Y!g will show up on Y!s. You'll also be able to post your previously uploaded Y!gallery submissions to Y!social via the edit submission section on your works. Lastly - For those using extras - you'll be able to use Y!s to host the media for your extras posts using private posts, saving you from trying to find a nsfw site to host your works.

You can follow the following the tutorial to enable crossposting and syncing: FAQ 61: How to enable Y!social crossposting

Y!s is soley run and hosted by the Y!g staff and is running on the open source software Mastodon. Our content is distributed globally and is fault tolerant, ensuring the content you upload remains safe and available. Like Twitter, Y!social can be used to receive news, follow and stay in-touch with all your friends. Y!social will allow you to connect to people that post content that you enjoy consuming, or simply communicate with friends. Additionally, anyone who has content they would like to sell or market can use Y!s to increase your brand awareness.

We encourage you to check out Y!social here at ✨ social.y-gallery.net ✨ or click the Y!s icon on the topbar at Y!gallery and sign up! Feel free to tell your friends and family as well. We hope that you all enjoy this new service
