Age Verification On Lemmy (feddit.de)

I've seen multiple requests for nsfw lemmy communities like reddit has. I live in Germany, and I think you are required to verify that the users that see porn content are above the age of 18. Does Lemmy has or plan to have a feature for that? Maybe this should be an issue on github?

One solution that could work in the future is that the personal device (computer or smartphone) could have the basic info that the owner is over 18 and therefore only give a "yes they are over 18" confirmation to the website without sharing any personal info.

How would you do that without giving someone both your personal info as well as the option to track what you're doing
