🎉 Our waitlist is now open! Just hit "Sign In" > "Request an invite" to join! If you know someone already on Packbase, ask them to follow instructions here: work.wildhq.org/w/packbase/c... Changelog is soon!

This is taking longer than expected due to personal circumstance. When Packbase comes online, we'll be invite only. You'll need to join a waitlist or ask for an invite from someone (which requires sharing your email to them.) We'll allow members in per hour until we feel this needs to be raised.

Packbase is in maintenance mode for a few days while we prepare a few things in relation to the UI! Thanks :3

Give the recent Tailtag stuff I might as well: I and others made @packbase.app! While we're not vibe coded and have a strict LLM policy - nor do we store information like GPS - we're looking for help with security & auditing. If you are (or know anyone who would be) interested, LMK! More in 🧵

Long time no see! Big update batch dropping very soon. We're going to focus hard on our UI and UX over the next year, which means things will evolve fast. To keep the experience smooth, Packbase will be moving to invite-only alongside this release. We'll have more details within next week!

Alpha 11's changelog is now available, thanks for waiting! blog.packbase.app/post/8/alpha...

📝 Thank you all for the feedback! We've updated our guideline's previously-subjective rulings: - Reworded banned minor characteristics to better define what is and isn't allowed - Removed "ethically questionable" in what's considered illegal as it's unexplainable--we now judge solely based on law

We want to know what you expect out of social media. What do you actually want from it? What did old platforms get right that today’s don’t? Help us out by telling us your thoughts! Provide an email (account not req.) and we'll try to reply. wildhq.notion.site/7279de947720... (or reply here!)

We have a new telegram channel we'll start posting updates to as well! We may also - from time to time - silently post updates there first before anything else, just to test the waters :) t.me/pbnotifs

We know mobile is kind of a pain to use (its a pain to develop for), but unfortunately we can only suggest zooming the page out until you can properly use it on your phone, or use Desktop. We have plans for a mobile app and will have more info at a later date once Packbase itself is mature. Thanks!

🔞 New account, but confused where NSFW content is? Go to Manage Profile > Content > Show NSFW Content (or packbase.app/settings/con...) and enable the setting. This setting applies to all custom feeds (which includes "Everything"!)

We're now having troubles getting the bot up. For now, we'll be offering manual verification for those who ask for it. You must have over 500 posts for us to do this. If you need, reply to this post with a link to your verification post and we'll verify when we get around to it (up to ~1 day).

A few changes are about to be made to Rehowls that you should be aware of. These changes fundamentally change how rehowls work, and ditch the current system that's based on boosting howls. 🧵

🛠️ Thanks for the interest in bsky migrating! Unfortunately, Bluesky has locked the bot we use for importing and are waiting for a remedy. We're very sorry about this!

If you recently joined, please let us know if there's issues getting passed onboarding. We've had issues in the past with this but still need more details as it only happens with a few people. Thanks!

pro: we have bluesky importing con: it relies on bluesky

⚠️ One week remaining to migrate howls from the Universe!!! If you registered when Packbase was strictly closed, you're forced to migrate your content when loading Packbase. If you do not see a prompt, you don't need to do anything. Universe contributes 3.44% of all howls. Read more here:

not to brag or anything but

We've fixed a few bugs recently that was causing multiple new accounts unable to interact with Packbase. If you were a new account that was trying to migrate, you will have to restart the verification process. Sorry!

👋 We're a social platform that forces you to communicate in groups rather than on your own, with an optional feed that focuses on your network of friends rather than everything everywhere at once. Addictive design is left out so you can touch grass, too! #social #website #furry #pls-join-for-kiss

This is possibly caused by howl processing being changed recently, and a fix was released. We'll continue to monitor!

🔧 We're looking into why Packbase keeps suddenly going offline. Sorry!

🔧 We're looking into why Packbase keeps suddenly going offline. Sorry!

We've released a little patch that makes Packbase on average 60% faster (based on internal benchmarking)! :3

We've up'd howl bodies again, from 4096 -> 8192. 🫡

🎉 Migrating from Bluesky to Packbase is now available! All posts, images, videos, threads, and even tags on posts will transfer over into Packbase. Read more: blog.packbase.app/post/13/migr...
