This may be more of an “out of the loop” thing, but I’m new to this site and I’m noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I’m surprised! Isn’t the adage that porn motivates technological progress?
What’s even more surprising is that the NSFW instance seems brand spanking new.
Is there some code-of-conduct thing which has prevented NSFW community growth? Or is it just a demographic thing where there wasn’t much/any demand until the Reddit exodus?
It would be nice if all NSFW was annexed to their own instance and left out of generally populated ones. There’s no need for it to be side-by-side with generalized content.
I think that’s a good thing. Different topics have different moderation needs and I think specialized instances will be better equipped to deal with those special needs. Communities being on separate instances is by design and we shouldn’t have an expectation for instances to do everything.
Most (all?) Lemmy instances are hosted by individuals doing it for personal interest. I assume many admins don’t want the legal liability of random users possibly posting illegal NSFW material.
I think it’s partly a demographic thing, too. lemmynsfw.com came into existence with the initial Reddit exodus, as did most Lemmy instances. Lemmy was apparently a pretty quiet place until three weeks ago.
Lol yeah this place was nuts before the exodus. It was mostly marxists simping for Mao and Stalin and you’d regularly find 2yo posts at the top. Couldn’t convince anyone else to join either because they’d go check it out, see people claiming that the holodomor, tienanmen square, and the armenian genocide never happened, and support for “the Z warriors” who are “fighting ukranian nazis and western imperialism,” and understandably they’d nope right the fuck out.
I’m so fucking glad all of you came to this platform to make it usable. Seriously, thank each and every one of you.
A 2-year user! You are a rare one indeed.
Old man time
Weeellll I just migrated here from lemmy.ml but that acct is probably 2y old by now. There’s graybeards here older than me that I still bump into every so often too! Back then it was so slow the most populated communities (well, I avoided the communist ones, so the most popular “normal” ones like c/linux or c/memes) had like 30 users a month, most communities like c/books had much less. One single dude posted almost all of the stuff in c/worldnews and a few other communities lol. Shit was kinda wild, but I’m definitely glad for the reddit exodus bringing new life in! You dern kids stay on my lawn!
I’m having the opposite experience. I filter by “all” and I am flooded with NSFW content. Been blocking individual communities, but I don’t know if I can just block the lemmynsfw instance(I’m using Jerboa).
So many scat porn out there! I don’t mind seeing nsfw stuff but poop stuff is a bit too much in the morning with my coffee.
Lol that’s wild I haven’t seen anything like that. What is your default home page filter? I can’t imagine that rising up very far on Hot or Active haha
Hahaha i was browsing all - new they dont tend to show up in hot or active no.
