The guy who keeps creating new communities and posting them here, not sure if that's you or part of your admin team or just someone who's really enthusiastic about porn.

Can we see if there's a different way of handling that?

Nothing against porn, not even generally against porn here, but the way it's currently happening it's filling up like half my feed with posts about new porn communities.

And I get it, you're trying to get a whole new instance up and running from scratch, you need to rebuild the communities that existed on the old instance etc.

I have no personal experience with admin and moderation, so take my thoughts for what they're worth, but here they are

1. I think we may need a temporary moratorium on this community against posts for new NSFW communities except for maybe a once-daily megathread listing all of the new ones created since the last one came out. I don't want that to last forever, just for the next couple of days or maybe week or two depending on how the rollout goes until things slow down a bit.

2. Create a separate newNSFWcommunities community, probably over on the new instance, where all of those communities can get their own post. Maybe see if we can get a post about that stickied here.

3. Less of a suggestion, more about a concern, but seeing one guy creating and modding a bunch of communities kind of gives me some worries about reddit-style powermods, and I remember after a bunch of people migrated here after the reddit API debacle there was a little bit of a problem with people creating communities and not doing much to grow them, just kind of squatting on them or abandoning them, and I'd hate to see that happen with this. I'm hoping maybe that's one of your admins, or maybe just a single well-intentioned person working on their own creating them as placeholders to eventually turn over to someone else, and that's valid, but I do think it may be a bit misguided and it may be better to let those communities spring up on their own more organically to be started, run, and populated by people who have an actual interest in those communities, so that may be something to keep an eye on.

He's also been a little sloppy and didn't properly mark a couple of his posts as NSFW at first, and that's not cool. Seems like he's keeping on top of changing it when that's pointed out, but that's still a problem.

Anyway, happy fapping.

Who is managing the Github account for Lemmynsfw? There is a repository that was last updated 3 weeks ago

https://github.com/lemmynsfw

For resilience, are there more folks willing to step up? The issue with lemmynsfw was that it was all of our eggs in one basket.

Honestly, all tech services es need porn to advance it. VHS. DVD. The internet. Reddit. They won’t admit it but porn was likely the driver. If you don’t believe me look back at all the services that were doing just fine until they cut off the porn.

I need to goon

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.

I agree that it is important to have a place for nsfw that is not full of furries or underage anime girls.

Thank you! I was getting a little tired of all the "hey, where'd the porn go?" posts and I did not want to teach the youthes of today how to use the internet.

I pinged you in matrix, but feel free to poke me if you've got any technical questions! Seeing all the NSFW content start to show up everywhere else really shows the need for a dedicated instance IMHO.

I CAN'T GOON!

What's this instances stance on "cute" porn? By that I mean the common trend on lemmynsfw of promoting porn of women as young as legally possible who look often significantly younger (I'm not sure about lemmynsfw but this has lead to other websites hosting underage material). This trend also goes under the names "bearly legal", "teen", and other such similar names.

Should you make a matrix channel for the server? Somewhere to communicate for when e.g. it's down, like right now :)
