New Communities
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Maybe OP's instance defederated from it. There have been allegations of CSAM on that and the prior Fediverse NSFW instance.
The issue with porn instances isn't piracy. If the copyright owner isn't getting paid, it's kind of all piracy. The issue is that if you don't have a direct established connection to the source material, you can't prove it's not CSAM, especially when that's what everyone's going for, the whole "looks 13 but is really 18" look you see on so many NSFW subs. The focus on small breasts, the near ban on tattoos and piercings, the clean shave/wax, and the innocent look, sometimes involving schoolgirl attire like pleated plaid skirts, white shirts with a tie, and backpacks and lunchboxes that look like they come from grade school. It's a whole thing and it's kind of disgusting. The legal sellers keep the receipts: they have the performers' government IDs on file and they can say that every performer is 18+ and willing. Out on the wild web though... you really don't know, and since the illusion is that they aren't, the burden of proof falls to the person posting it — or the instance hosting it. Which is why a lot of them get defederated. No one wants that headache.
I've even seen piracy sites — sites that have no problem posting the latest movies, games, TV shows/sporting events, albums, books, and whatnot, straight up say that porn is not allowed. If they aren't willing to deal with accusations of hosting CSAM, and they host pirated materials (or the means to get them, in the case of torrents), you can imagine how hard it is for a social media site/Fediverse instance.
...Also, OP's link is bad. That could just be on my end, dbzer0 might have blocked the comm on their end. Or maybe OP posted the link wrong. They're using the URL formatting and we link to comms starting with an !, so that might not work in a markdown URL link. OP may just have to post them in cleartext.
I know piefed bans NSFW content by default even though the UI says you can turn it off. It doesn't work for piefed.social might be the same for piefed.world
Link works for me now. Federation seems slow sometimes.
