This server aims to provide a safe space for 18+ furry ABDLs who identify with any age, be they babyfur, kidfur, teenfur, caretaker, and so on! This server is open to anyone who partakes in or is curious about the furry ABDL community. All fluffies, scalies, and humans are welcome, crinkling not required! However, expect to see many types of crinkly critters, their photos, and their art on this instance.
Please be aware that this
is an ABDL/babyfur space and as such our Content Warning policy around ABDL material may be more relaxed than other furry servers.
Note: Our name is cubhub.social but cub porn is NOT allowed. Why The Name?I picked the name 'CubHub.social' because, despite the current negative connotation around the word 'cub', CubHubs were the first places at furry conventions I felt safe being an ABDL while also coming to grips with my furry side. For those who don't know, CubHubs are private rooms/party rooms that serve as safe spaces for babyfurs, kidfurs, diaperfurs, etc at conventions. Before ABDLs were as accepted into the fandom as they are now, CubHubs were the only place where it was absolutely safe to be yourself. So, yeah, I couldn't think of a better ethos to bring to the Fediverse. I want CubHub to be a safe space on Fedi for all fuzzy ABDLs.

Recommended But Not Required - ABDL/Furry Fandom Discourse
- Photos Cropped to a Diapered Crotch/Butt
Note: You cannot use content warnings too much! If you're on the fence or you'd rather CW a post even if it's not required, we recommend that you do so. It also helps when users follow you who may not be into the same subject matter as you are!Content Warning How-ToThere is a ⚠️ button under your post compose box. When clicking on it, it'll open a new text box that'll let you fill out a description of the post content.
When tagging, be concise but also descriptive of the contents of the post. Examples being, don't say 'NSFW' but instead try 'Messy Diapers' or 'M/M Yiff'. Similarly, don't say 'News', try 'US Politics, Elections' to help out non-US users.
Content warning moderation isn't particularly strict. If your post is missing a Content Warning, a staff member will usually mark it as sensitive and ask that you add CW tags to it. Repeatedly failing to use CWs will result in a time-out and your video games taken away, or just having your account marked as sensitive.
ModerationFailure to adhere to the server rules may lead to something as simple as a warning, up through content removal, silencing, and a ban. If you feel action taken against you was incorrect, you may appeal the action to the administration. However, we have a zero tolerance policy for hate speech or pro-fascist imagery of any kind, and it will result in an immediate ban with no appeal.
Nazi symbols, Confederate imagery, content in favor of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Zionist imagery and rhetoric, and Blue Lives Matter talk are all unwelcome here.Reporting PostsIf a post violates our rules, we ask that users fill out a report for the moderation staff. Please do not confront other users directly.
Reporting Posts from Other InstancesIf a post from another server appears in our federated timeline and has content that breaks our rules, please report it! If it's art that's simply missing a CW, a moderator can mark it as sensitive. If it's something more egregious, the user or even the instance can be limited or defederated from us.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do
not select the "Forward to [instance]" option in the report unless you verify that the post breaks the rules of their home server as well. Servers have different rules and what may be inappropriate here may be entirely appropriate elsewhere!
Tips & TricksHashtagsUsing HashtagsUsing hashtags immensely boosts the visibility of your posts! Because there are no algorithms, it's up to users to find the content they want to see. As such, using hashtags makes discoverability much easier. #FurryArt, #ABDLArt, or #BabyfurArt are all hashtags people are following and will mean your post will be seen by more users.
Following HashtagsMastodon allows you to follow hashtags so you can have any posts tagged with a hashtag show up in your Home timeline. To follow a hashtag, type the hashtag you want to follow in the search box then hit the follow button in the top right corner.
RoleplayingAs our community has such a large roleplaying community, we recommend users indicate whether or not they roleplay in their profile. Users looking to roleplay should check the profile of the person they're interacting with to see if they're up for it and ask if they're unsure.
Image AccessibilityWhen posting images, we implore all users to include a description of what is in the image by providing alt text. To add alt text, click the edit button while you're posting your picture and fill in the details under "Describe for the visually impaired" and save it. This really helps users with accessibility needs! Many Mastodon users will only boost images with alt text, so it's a good habit to get into.
Markdown In PostsYou can use Markdown in your posts by clicking the icon below the compose box that looks like a sheet of paper, then clicking Markdown. You can set your posts to default to Markdown by going into your Settings > Preferences > Other > Default format for toots and selecting Markdown.
If you're new to markdown, try this
Markdown Tool here.
FederationAny user you follow from another instance will then federate with our server. This means any and all posts they make will appear on our federated timeline, unless the server has been limited (see the Moderated Servers section below).
If a user/post isn't federated with us that you want to follow/like/boost, you can copy the link to the user/post into the CubHub search box and our server will federate it, thus allowing you to interact.
CubHub Interface TweaksOur server runs a version of Mastodon based on
Ruffy that's a fork of
Glitch-Soc. Ruffy has a two-column theme, customizable accent colors, emoji reactions, and much more.
To see all of the available options to tweak the look of CubHub, click the three cog wheels icon in the top right of the desktop interface, or Interface settings in the hamburger menu of the mobile interface!
Mobile AppsWhile the default Mastodon mobile app is
good enough, it's missing features that are custom to CubHub. To this end, we recommend that Android users use
Moshidon. From there, users can go to Overflow Menu > Settings > Instance and turn on Enable post formatting, Enable emoji reactions, and Server supports local-only posting and make sure Glitch local-only mode is off.
Server InformationTransparency PledgeWe want to run this instance with as much transparency as possible. Please, if users have any questions at all, contact anyone on the moderation or administration staff. If there are any moderation questions, technical questions about the server, and so on, we'd be more than glad to answer them.
The Server's LongevityA lot of users have concerns about admins abruptly shutting down their instances and the users losing what they've built. CubHub is completely and utterly committed to keeping the server going long-term and continuing to be a place for furry ABs, DLs, middles, grown-ups, etc to congregate. However, in the event of something catastrophic, here is our pledge:
- If the admin is unable to continue to administrating the server, the server will be handed over to someone the community has approved of running the instance.
- If a replacement can't be found, the server will remain up for at least 30 days from the initial notice of closure, so users can migrate their content and their followers to a new instance with plenty of notice.
A Note From Rusty: This is like some worst case scenario stuff, but I want people to feel safe hosting their content here and know there's a backup plan in the event of catastrophe. I love running this instance and I love this community and I really don't wanna go anywhere!Server Costs - Server Host: $72.00 Monthly
- Daily Backups: $10.00 Monthly
- S3 Storage: ≈$2.00 Monthly
- Domain Registrar: $46.16 Yearly
- Email Server: $95.00 Bi-Yearly
Note: Our S3 storage hosts things like our pictures, videos, and other media. It tends to fluctuate and should very slowly climb in cost over time, though likely not by much.Custom EmojisIf you would like to see a particular emoji set added, please DM the administration!
Tip: You can hover the mouse cursor over or tap on an emoji in a post or profile to expand it and see it better.CreditsTranslation ToolCubHub has a translation button for posts that do not match your interface language. This service uses
DeepL. This means that, in order for posts to be translated, they will be sent to the DeepL servers for translation. Please refer to their
Privacy Policy for any privacy or data security concerns. DeepL is fully GDPR compliant.
You must have your post language set correctly in order for the translation tool to work properly. You can select your language in the compose box next to the CW button.
