FediNSFW

if/when you create your account, to view nsfw you must enable it in your profile! I'm looking into fixing this

Xaeg/Yay was the owner of LemmyNSFW, and he had access to and paid for the domain, server, and everything else related to the site. He has been AWOL for about 6 months now, and suddenly this month, the server and the domain stopped being paid for. I have no access to the server to get the database.

Because of this LemmyNSFW as it was, and all the content on it, much to my dismay, seems to have died.

So what now?

In my opinion, and I feel many other people's opinion as well, the fediverse needs a place for NSFW! A place run ethically while also allowing people to (within reason) explore their kinks, sexuality, etc. as they please.

So I have created FediNSFW to be that place! It is a piefed instance instead of a lemmy one because if there's one thing NSFW content benefits from it's good moderation tools and flairs, and piefed has those things.

As for now I have access to the DNS records to the lemmynsfw domain but there seems to be another dns setup that I don't have access to, in four months the ownership of the site will lapse, and I will try to aquire it so I have full control of it. Until then, I had no choice but to create this new site.

I am, as of now, the sole admin and owner of the site!

FediNSFW.app is the site!

Now hosting is NOT free by any means, and I assume costs will rise, so I have created accounts on a few platforms so that people who would like to can donate.I plan to keep this site going as long as I can, and the more donations the site receives, the easier that will be!

I will NEVER ask anyone to pay to enter the site, this is purely voluntary.

Here are the links to donate:

• Ko-fi

• LibrePay

• Patreon

The Future

I will slowly build out some of the formerly existing communities based on some snapshots of lemmynsfw from the wayback machine. But it would be much easier with the help of the community, so logically, I am looking for admins and mods!

• If you would like a community to be made and you're willing to check up on it and maybe make some posts here and there please make it! NOTE: for security reasons your account must be 24 hours old to create a community

• If you were a mod of a community message me and I will get that community created and add you as a mod!

• If you'd like to be an admin, obviously there will have to be some trust between you and I and you may need to be up to the task of potentially doing some sysadmin work. But message me on here or preferably on matrix if you're interested!

Piefed Info

Piefed is another Federated, open‑source social media platform similar to reddit, but as mentioned before it has better moderation tools like :

• tagging and flairs

• the ability to add plugins

• built in automod tools

• and more!

• here is a full list of differences from lemmy

If you are wondering about what apps work with piefed you can find those here

I will most likely be adding alternative ui's to the site in the near future, but as of now the vanilla ui will have to do, the setup process for this site was a bit of a headache! 😅

That's about it I think! welcome to the new site, go wild (😉) posting!
