creating a paypro from scratch is deathly expensive so won't do that but hiii hello heyyyyy

❤️ Packbase is not (and never will be) a product, but a result of tight-knit community & staff collaboration. We hope to see you--and possibly your feedback--soon!

Home: packbase.app
Terms & Privacy: packbase.app/terms
Guidelines: packbase.app/community-gu...

🗳️ If we break any promise or core values, we have multi-stage community voting systems in place to ensure we stay in a path the community as a whole agrees upon.

🦁 We're entirely furry own and operated, and aim to create something no investor would dare go near. Those who lead Packbase have worked in this industry and know what to avoid.

🎨 You have full control over our UI, too! Packs can set custom HTML/CSS for all their members, and you have the same power on your profile. Some "professional UX designers" call custom theming stupid, and that's okay. it's okay to be wrong.

👋 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!

we're not offline i guess that's a selling point nowadays

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'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.

A hue-based colour theme selector for Packbase's UI. A horizontal rainbow gradient bar spans from purple through red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and back to purple, with a white slider positioned at the orange section. Below is a 'Random' button.

hey if CSS is too much (lets be real, it is), you can do this now

A screenshot of the Packbase search interface. The left sidebar shows search filters including a text field with "+rating_safe" entered, a username filter, sort options (Newest/Oldest buttons), and a date range picker with a "Clear filters" link. The main content area displays a masonry-style grid of mixed media posts, the results for the "+rating_safe" tag search. Posts include 3D renders of robots and game characters, memes featuring cats and cheeseburgers, gaming screenshots, a latte photo, abstract pink gradient art, and fan art of various animated characters.

Searching is now gallery-based and currently only searches Howls. While this shows everything, we'll rely on community members to correctly tag their howls to make searching content easily.

Let us know what you expect from gallery searching (or anything else!): packbase.app/contact/feed...

Due to NSFW rules, we'll will be migrating to a new host and semi-unavailable until the 18th March (AEDT)!

If you'd like, we'd appreciate the extra lil' help! On top of migrating the servers, we're also looking into becoming an incorp-assoc.: ko-fi.com/rekkisomo

Thanks! Alpha 11 changelog is soon!

We've fixed an issue where you'll be stuck during sign-up if you chose to use a phone number instead of email. You'll be forced to use email for now but can add a phone number later!

I'll actually add onto this:

If someone decides that Packbase ain't for them, thats cool with us! Trying to please everyone is impossible, and will forever get some hate from ppl because we don't allow (or do allow) x thing. We have votings to make sure guidelines stay true to pb's community.

As per tradition, the update goes terribly!

🛠️ We're aware of multiple instances where you're stuck in a redirect loop, among others. Working on it!

Sorry, deleted old one as there's no damn edit.

5. (cont.) Hypno, non-consent, etc. is allowed only in artwork with the appropriate tags.

6. Those rules only apply to IRL content, but we'll work on that as well. All you specified is allowed as long as its artwork.
7. This inherently covers imagery as per the legal definition in Victoria, Australia. We'll add it to cover in the guidelines regardless.

4. Fictional species are fine, this one does need more context but it's taken at face value. If it's undeniably trying to depict a child then it's a minor. We'll work on that one.
5. The non-consent only applies to IRL content. We still allow IRL images in general, just not pornographic content.

1. It was left over from when we were 16+, but remains in tact to provide a better split between SFW and NSFW accounts
2. You'll be prompted that your account will be considered R18 when making your first mature howl
3. Allowing IRL NSFW has more legal obligations that we're not wanting to deal with
