MODERATORS
It's not allowed in a lot of instances because the moderation is absolutely exhausting and sometimes NSFL material.
The only limiting factor here is admins + moderators of an instance willing to put themselves through that.
I have no idea what kind of person wants to do that sort of thing, but they do exist.
Perhaps we should send PMs to all the porn subreddit mods and ask them if they'd be interested in moderating a porn reddit on lemmy?
I'd be curious to know which porn subreddits are scheduled to go dark on the 12th. Are there any reddit porn connoisseurs here that can do that research and let us know which subreddits mods might be upset at reddit and interested in migrating here?
So we need two lists:
If you go to r/ListOfSubreddits there's a pinned thread with a REALLY LONG list of NSFW subs, going asking or checking all of them is something that would require time... like, a LOT of time.
For the instances that would be down... I'd really doubt there is one right now, at least the ones I checked just seemed to subscribe to the no NSFW rule.
Most lemmy instances are actually NSFW-friendly https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
Nsfw is enabled, but their rules often say no porn
Well now I'm confused, that list says some instances allow NSFW but when you check their instance rules it says they don't
There's a difference between "not safe for work" (posts which may involve nudity, drug use, or violence, among other subjects) and outright pornography.
Its okay to have skimpy or 18+ photos and content, just not for the purpose of porn. Lots of places like that on Reddit too, especially in dark humor accepting areas.
