Lemmy doesn't have adult content tho

[–] cosmicsploogedrizzle@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.ml doesnt. But any instance can host it if they want to.

Lemmy has an NSFW toggle. The only reason it doesn't have any adult content is that nobody is posting any (and that nobody has set up an adult community yet). There are several Mastodon instances dedicated to porn so it's not like the wider Fediverse is strictly opposed to it either.

Your friendly, local site admin may not want to deal with the moderation challenges that come with porn, though. If you want it, you may need to (convince/pay someone to) set up a dedicated adult content friendly server.

There's an 'anal' community, but there seems to be no content 😅.

That’s just for difficult people

I guess we're just waiting on someone to finish off and post it.

I can't find the community you're referring to, but I did find out through another NSFW community that users that aren't logged in can't see any posts tagged with NSFW. If you've found the community through Google or a link somewhere, that could explain why it's empty.

The more likely option is that someone probably mirrored a bunch of reddit subs to try to attract reddit refugees and ended up (accidentally?) cloning some porn subreddits as well. I found a lot of communities named after subreddits that seem completely dead.

The problem is no one wants the liability of potentially illegal porn being hosted on their server, so instances are banning it. Which, who can blame them? I do enjoy the NSFW freedom though, and I hope a better solutions is found

It's only matter of time when we'll get hentai oriented instance.

There is that trope about how porn tends to dictate technological advancement. Probably will have some sway in this whole debacle. That said, not being as big as reddit is kind of nice. The best online communities are always smaller.

Bandwidth is the issue, and server space. I wonder, can Lemmy servers be setup where say, someone runs an ass appreciation server. That server, when people post, sends the image to redgifs?

Then the server space issue is mute and porn, or even erotic art, etc can thrive

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Most subs hosted their content to external sites anyway from what I saw due to how terrible reddit's video player was.

[–] Senseibull@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I think this is where tildes.net is being smart with text only, saves massive on server costs and also is safer to run for the owners with less moderation needed due to no chance of any illegal porn being uploaded

What was the previous post? The original creator deleted theirs.

I have no clue. I was just trying to be funny.
