It's my opinion that nsfw content is what will make or break Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin, or any other fediverse community.
Every single social media giant has some degree of nsfw content, it's a big draw that gets non-techies to join.
Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook; all of them have/had some amount of pornographic material. Of course it's incredibly difficult to moderate porn though, and in no way am I saying that it should be unmoderated, but I also think that 100% excluding it would be a huge factor in determining long-term success. There's even a song about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6eFNRKEROw
To paraphrase an oldie: if NSFW was not allowed, there'd be just one [lemmy] community called
c/bringbackthepornGod. Is Scrubs considered old, now?
Is NSFW banned all together or just on this instance? Couldn't someone spin up a lemmy instance just for NSFW?
I think someone could make their own instance with NSFW content, but other Lemmy instances could choose to block it.
it's open source, it's impossible to ban all together, anyone can start an instance
Lemmy rule 34 when?
Lol that song is a throwback. I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already setting up a Lemmy instance for NSFW content.
