You need to put the eggplant emoji in front of your search.

πŸ† thickhotasianswithtastyrumpsandbeautifuleyes brings up a heap of results for example

I can't believe you made me search that. All I can do is upvote.

I am here for tasty rumps yes

Plush rumps and proboscises?

In addition to nobody really wanting to set one up for (non furry) smut, some instances don't allow you to subscribe to NSFW communities on any instance. I think lemmy.ml is one that doesn't allow it, but I'm not sure how you would check.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's a wise decision by instance admins to have a clean separation between regular and NSFW content IMO.

I think it's likely that there will be a parallel NSFW fediverse that has little overlap with regular content, and that's probably for the best.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like the idea of completely separate instances. One for business, one for pleasure; keep it all separated.

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

What if business and pleasure overlap πŸ€”

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

Agreed, but I think the best way of doing that is to have an instance setting where NSFW subs/posts don't appear in the "All" list or similar. So people can (if they so choose) subscribe to these sorts of things from other instances, but it doesn't appear in public feeds.

I think one thing Lemmy is lacking is "Limited" federation a la Mastodon, where you can designate some servers (or communities?) as "limited", meaning that their messages don't apear in public feeds.

Of course, at the end of the day, instance admin makes the rules and if they don't like anything (NSFW or otherwise) they can just ban federating with it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, and almost everyone uses an alt for exactly that separation anyways, so it'd be making an alt on specific instances

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

Right yeah, the only people that lose out would be the ones who like to have porn mixed in with their regular posts (crazy mfs!)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think that there are many nsfw communities at the moment. If anyone know of some, I'd be interested to have a look ^^

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't think there's an instance yet that's taken the jump on NSFW communities due to concerns about moderation.

People were talking about this on sh.itjust.works, but our admin said he'd need time to come up with a policy on communities so we're waiting on him

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

Yeah that sounds really difficult.

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

I've set up yiffit.net, but it's about furry porn / yiff. Hosting nsfw pictures of real people is another can of worms.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

There are apparently some like [email protected], but they are hard to find since they probably aren’t visible in your home instance, and they don’t show up in the lemmy community browser. You also can’t find them on the instance they are hosted on since you need to be logged in to see nsfw communities.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

and they don’t show up in the lemmy community browser

Communities are not visible to other instances until some user manually adds them.

If you are on one instance and you have the link for a community of another instance, that does show in the first, just copy the entire url of the unknown community, paste it in the search field of the instance that doesn't know about it and search for it. It will NOT show up the result, but you can then delete the url and search again by its name. You will see the community now appear because you just indexed it.

I just learned this today, so I am going to spread it wherever possible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tysm! I was able to subscribe to it because of you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No worries. Every single tip to make the experience better for people here, I am trying to spread it and it would probably help everyone if people did it as well.

You can let others know about this and also you can index more communities on your own. I know I've been doing it to connect more communities.

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

I just learned that earlier today. I made a post about it here: https://mander.xyz/post/660612

I'm with ya though. It's all new to us and the word needs to be spread. ✊

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The awkward thing about this is that as soon as someone does subscribe to that community, it's visible to everyone in the community browser. So if you suddenly see some weird shit start appearing, you've got to look around and wonder who it was that caused that to appear...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was referring to the community browser which lets you see all available communities. But yeah you won’t see them in your home instance until they are specifically searched.

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

My instance is lemmy.world. I'm new to this Federal system, is there a way for me to subscribe to nsfw communities and see them?

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

You're probably best to search for an instance that explicitly says they're for NSFW communities and create an account there.

SavvyWolf points out here that SFW instances typically try to avoid federation with NSFW instances. Meaning if you create an account on a SFW instance, it would be against the rules to subscribe to a NSFW community elsewhere (with the way federation works, this would cause NSFW posts made elsewhere to start showing up on the SFW instance).

As Korgen pointed out here, if you do find an instance that allows NSFW content, you'll need to be logged into a Lemmy account to view any of it.

Your best bet is to create a Lemmy account on a NSFW instance specifically for subscribing to NSFW communities. However, it honestly doesn't seem like there are a lot of NSFW communities right now. I can only assume it's because the user base is still small and most people don't want to post smut in a community of like 3 people.

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

That depends if your instance has one or have someone already subscribed to one community with content like that.

I've found two instances that specialize in nsfw content: lemmynsfw.com (requires login to see nsfw) and pornlemmy.com

If your instance has no problems with that content, subscribing to communities on those instances may help other cultured people such as yourself in the future.

There are none... reason #99 why lemmy is not going to be a good alternative to reddit
