This may be an unpopular option since I've already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I'd like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing "PORN" on my screen.

At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.

I saw a post about a community created here called "pixel passport" which I thought was a hell of a lot better that "earth porn."

EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.

[–] MrPear@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.

[–] LemmyRefugee@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

OnlyPixels sounds great, too, for a general community of nice everything.

Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.
