I hope this is allowed. After the untimely demise of the only NSFW Lemmy instance, a Piefed replacement has come along: https://fedinsfw.app/

I hadn’t seen many posts about it, so I thought others might want to know.

    Why is there a single, dedicated nsfw instance in the first place? The fediverse exists for decentralisation. No one can control it on their own, no single point of failure, if one part (instance) dies there are still loads of alternatives left. With just another single, centralized instance, it just becomes a prime example for the definition of insanity and history repeating itself.

      I’m not sure who downvoted you. But yeah, it’d be great if there were more instances of everything in the fediverse, but administration takes time, effort, and money.

      That’s gonna be an instance block from me dawg.

      Unless it’s a community dedicated to ousting and publicly shaming them, there should never ever be pedo comms. If the instance admins don’t/haven’t banned it and its active users, they’re complicit and should also be shamed.

      Piefed will automatically post new communities to that comm unless users uncheck a lil box. The admin asked us to uncheck it, so it stopped.

        That sounds like a really dumb setting.

        Like, I’m sure it’s helpful for people who want it. But, like, it definitely sounds like a setting that should be defaulted off, not defaulted on.

          Kindly I disagree. It was very helpful to find stuff that wasn’t what I already knew I wanted especially as I came from Reddit as one of the earlier refugees after the API thing.

          Given how small and in development Lemmy has been, it was a good thing to keep showing me that I made a good choice and that this federated thing ISNT Reddit and has its own value to give if I can just get a little bit of help find finding stuff.

          Now it’s been sometime but I think on by default is still a good thing. I’m also okay with making it super super easy to turn off and be reminded/prompted to do that as well.

          If it’s no longer a needed thing I might be convinced that the on by default state has passed the value I found in it, but I am not ready put the effort into that at this time.
