I feel like "If you thinking “will I get banned if i post this?” then it is not allowed." is not really enforcing anything

people who want to post stuff will post stuff and someone will have to moderate that

You are right, rules should be strict. Just bored writing boilerplate for it right now. Will fix that later.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

ChatGPT is really good at writing boring boilerplate. Just make sure to read the output thoroughly before you make it actual policy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if you don’t have enough good mods things could get ugly real quick. Be careful, my friend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Okay. Well, we're all hungry. We're gonna get to our hotplates soon enough, alright?

Greetings from another mostly-NSFW instance (but for furries).

You'll want to make sure you have a pinned post that's SFW with links to recommended NSFW communities. That's because people who are logged out can't see NSFW communities in the list and without you having another place to announce those communities they will be impossible to find by users of other instances.

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

Hi! You are right. Just created a community and post for it. Thank you <3

[–] domage 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By the way, users, registered on other instances still can’t see the list of communities from the link that have been shared. They can see only the one SFW community on that list. It seems, that if you want users to be able to subscribe, you should manually create a list with a list of links to the communities.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes you are right. I will add communities with sticky post.

So, what's going to be the first NSFW post?

As a red-blooded, straight cisgender male American... I vote for... Saul Goodman's ass. (Reference to "Better Call Saul")

He defecated through a sunroof!

I am disappointed with their first real post. But, things can only improve with variety.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You're doing the lord's work.

Edit: I tried to post something, but the little circle just goes forever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have same thing in Firefox on iOS. Worked with Safari. It could be about Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it just me or are there no communities available?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The site is just created and there is no content on it yet. I'm thinking of cloning some subreddits but not sure about it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Moderation will be important for porn communities, so perhaps just start out with some kind of "meta" community where you can discuss stuff about the instance itself. May be better than throwing down a bunch of communities and ending up "stuck" having to deal with them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm in a situation of creating some communities myself and let other capable people do it. Because I am really not into porn that much :) Will think about that tomorrow, right now I'm exhausted because Lemmy instance docs are not much descriptive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I am really not into porn that much :)

Heh. I feel we may have a common attitude here; I'm not particularly into smut but I think it's very important for a free Internet to allow it to flourish for those that want it. The common "No NSFW" restriction on major Lemmy instances is likely to be one of the major hurdles to attracting Reddit refugees, alongside the particular political positions that devs and major instance-runners currently espouse.

I suspect both of those things will be diluted away quickly as this space evolves, though.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Until you create some communities, nobody can post unless they sign up on your server. Since most of us are already signed up elsewhere, that doesn't make much sense.

So I am in jerboa and did what the thing said, pasted [email protected] into the search tab but nothing comes up

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

A sidenote - jerboa turning these community links into email addresses gets a little annoying for me, keeps opening my email app. Fingers crossed it gets resolved eventually

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

jerboa's search function definitely does need some polishing but in all fairness Reddit is pretty infamous for its absolutely atrocious in-site searching.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You should use communities like [email protected] to use. Also see this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't like this domain. Why does it have to be obvious?

I will not be joining this one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's a little on-the-nose.

Think about brands like Kink, alt.com, or Fetlife. They communicate ideas about human sexuality, without necessarily spelling it out completely.

An instance with a name like free-porn or hotnudes is just not going to bring a lot of confidence.

It's down for me.

404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site? reason: Unexpected token 'T', "Timeout oc"... is not valid JSON

Back up for me, thanks.
