...You're just viewing it without an account; instances won't show nsfw without one.
It's very active already
Signed up an account and took a look around.
There's some NSFW content now but it's not all that different from what I described. Every community I look at is lucky to have 5 posts and many of them have all been created recently.
I don't have a horse in this race, but have you seen any of Reddit's NSFW subs? Most posts are by bots.
Bots and by people trying to slyly advertise their OF accounts for sure.
Every oak tree was once an acorn
What...? The main comms have hundreds of posts and thousands of subscribers already despite the instance being created just over 2 weeks ago
Now go and pay attention to the age of the posts. I'll wait.
They're posted about when you'd expect in hot?
nsfw
Lets just use your own screenshot for a second.
Do you think all the posts in it that are practically all posted at the same time (16-17 hours ago) is normal, organic user behavior to you?
That's just about the average amount of time posts take to hit 'hot'; it was similar in reddit too.
Pretty constant stream of posts in new:
nsfw
Hopefully the faking to them making it pays out I guess.
? You mean the same users making multiple posts?
You'd be surprised how many posts on reddit is by the same few people too; mere percentages actually make and post content. Not that it matters much since it is still content.
