Saw the same. Kinda expected a pinned post or something now that it's back up explaining what that was about but nothing.

I just signed up there and I don't really see myself visiting the Sharkey instance nearly as much. At the end of the day I'm just here to see loli pics that people share, and the communities here allow me to separate that from everything I don't care about. I don't know why I'd ever use the Sharkey instance rather than just use Aethy or Baraag, especially since I'm already following users I want to see stuff from on Aethy.
