ponyville is where princess celestia told granny smith's elders to settle, whereas braeburn's elders settled in ponychan
(or something like that ....)

As a Ponychan veteran who has been posting on since like 2011 I'll give you a quick info dump on Ponychan

Ponychan is dead. The current Ponychan is a copy made after the real one shut down years ago after the owner no longer wished to pay for any upkeep and had no time for moderation and was frankly annoyed and upset by the shit show the place had become

It had become a bit of a hole in it's last years. Endless fights between certain posters, the politics drama after the subject was allowed then banned and allowed.

One of the main mods also got doxxed which understandably upset them and lead to them leaving and moving here to Ponyville (Won't name them but if they're reading this they know who they are I see your Youtube channel is going really well)

The site also become a target for bots posting illegal content pictures and links which may or may not had something to do with a certain banned poster being mad about moderation. Nothing like going on a pony board and seeing links to illegal pornography..... And because the site only had one or two mods at most if this stuff got spammed at a time they were sleeping like 3 in the morning their time then it would be staying up for hours  

Ponyville has always been much stricter and has no time for nonsense and has always strived to be friendly and welcoming . While Ponychan started out as a safe for work place in the mid to late 2010s it started embracing a much looser shitposting feel and style which for better or worse in the end did rather lead to it's downfall and closure although again a clone of it lives on

Sounds close enough

You're probably better equipped to speak on the current difference between ponychan.co and Ponyville.

I feel like the topic is taboo, with thge whole giving attention to people. But I absolutely don't get the whole "let's spam communities with CSAM as a joke" mentality. Unless you're super down with CAM yourself.

When I try to get ponychan, it redirects me to ponyville.
