What is this community for exactly? (lemmynsfw.com)

So I guess I'm wondering if this community is intended to be about photography, as in the discussion of photography, or if it's going to be like r/itookapicture was on Reddit. I absolutely don't think that we need to replicate what they did on that other site, but those were two very different places with very different purposes. They're both valuable, but I think that they're valuable in different ways and it might be good to separate them from each other in some fashion.

I think that's a wise approach, it's too early with people adopting new platforms. I do like @Melon 's idea of suggesting photo-only posts come with some context, or insight into the post. Especially if folks happen to be sharing other work that isn't their own, but that's another topic altogether. I doubt we'll hit spam levels of posts soon, but it would at least guide the community in some regard.

I think that suggestion is fair, let's allow the community to grow, and as it does we will see what rules are required
