Edit: Fyi nsfw content isn't visible without an account

Lemmy NSFW is mostly just full of accounts posting non-NSFW images of celebrities in a way that looks like they are all run by the same person. Other than that it's basically dead.

...You're just viewing it without an account; instances won't show nsfw without one.

It's very active already

Signed up an account and took a look around.

There's some NSFW content now but it's not all that different from what I described. Every community I look at is lucky to have 5 posts and many of them have all been created recently.

I don't have a horse in this race, but have you seen any of Reddit's NSFW subs? Most posts are by bots.

Lets just use your own screenshot for a second.

Do you think all the posts in it that are practically all posted at the same time (16-17 hours ago) is normal, organic user behavior to you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's just about the average amount of time posts take to hit 'hot'; it was similar in reddit too.

Pretty constant stream of posts in new:

nsfw

Hopefully the faking to them making it pays out I guess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

? You mean the same users making multiple posts?

You'd be surprised how many posts on reddit is by the same few people too; mere percentages actually make and post content. Not that it matters much since it is still content.

wefwef.app is an excellent apollo replacement, and the apollo export migration flow was a godsend!
