I hope this is allowed. After the untimely demise of the only NSFW Lemmy instance, a Piefed replacement has come along: https://fedinsfw.app/

I hadn't seen many posts about it, so I thought others might want to know.

Why is there a single, dedicated nsfw instance in the first place? The fediverse exists for decentralisation. No one can control it on their own, no single point of failure, if one part (instance) dies there are still loads of alternatives left. With just another single, centralized instance, it just becomes a prime example for the definition of insanity and history repeating itself.

Because no one can be ass'd opening more.

I salute those who do.

I'm not sure who downvoted you. But yeah, it'd be great if there were more instances of everything in the fediverse, but administration takes time, effort, and money.
