I haven’t posted in a week since Lemmynsfw went down and I feel like I need to keep the spirit alive somewhere.

I’m not on piefed yet but that would be acceptable too.

    I’m just playing around with the thought of it at the moment, so don’t anybody get their hopes up, but here are a question three questions.

    I have 1Gbps bandwidth and about 4TB of storage to contribute with.

    1. would people be more interested in an NSFW meme community or rather just a porn sharing one - regardless of orientation?
    2. can one person run a community alone or is it not feasible - referring to how quick one has to be to act on infractions?
    3. are there legal aspects to consider if I were to setup an NSFW community? As in, for instance, would I be liable if people posted illegal content - considering that I’m hosting?

      Regarding question one, lemmynsfw had at least one meme community.

      1. I think most communities are run by only one mod.

    I just migrated my comms to Reddthat and Piefed.zip (!NikkeNSFW@reddthat.com and !BigAnimeTiddies@piefed.zip).

    From reading their rules, they don’t prohibit NSFW content.

    We should use the death of LemmyNSFW as reminder to spread communities across as many instances as possible so something like this won’t happen again at the same scale.

    Because right now, if Lemmy.World goes down, then we’re absolutely fucked.

    Edit: fixed typo.

      I wouldn’t go that far, but it would hurt a lot if it went down

      If we all move to different instances though it’s going to be hard for people to find their niches. We might need a porn community aggregator community.

    Unironically a big loss for Lemmy and perhaps the fediverse in general. Nothing attracts people to a platform like ass & titties. No chance we’re going back to R*ddit.

    Bring back the porn!

    LemmyNSFW was the perfect example of a single subject instance. So much so that it was the only NSFW instance and another one is needed

      Sounds like a big opportunity if anybody ever wanted to start up and run a big, popular instance…

      Though it might be a bit of a nightmare to moderate.

        I suspect the bandwidth and storage costs are considerably higher than your average instance as well.

          Plus the additional crap you have to deal with. I wouldn’t be surprised if the mods and admins of Lemmy.NSFW had to deal with a lot of CSAM

    I didn’t even realize it had died. Something if that’s why I’ve been seeing more porn crop up between regular posts in my “normal” Lemmy lately.

    Anyone know why NSFW died? Not enough money, admins, or did somebody take it out?

      There was a post from one of the admins saying that the other admin was the only person with server access and has gone mia. Apparently one admin did setup and rented the sever space to host and the other was responsible for day to day maintenance. They didn’t know why the admin with server access had stopped responding to their messages.

      I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it’s still around on a post about another instance being offline.

      I browsed a few sidebars and these instances didn’t rule out NSFW: lemmy.org, lemmings.world, reddthat, lemmy.blahaj.zone, hilariouschaos, and of course Lemmy.world.

      Ideally the priority would be one that doesn’t require email verification.
