This may be more of an "out of the loop" thing, but I'm new to this site and I'm noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I'm surprised! Isn't the adage that porn motivates technological progress?

What's even more surprising is that the NSFW instance seems brand spanking new.

Is there some code-of-conduct thing which has prevented NSFW community growth? Or is it just a demographic thing where there wasn't much/any demand until the Reddit exodus?

Originally, I mentioned how there is more complexity in the NSFW AI space than just the imagery, and that it is actually an interesting tool and introduction to the text to image AI. The mods and users in that space are more positive and supportive than average too.

My main interest in text2img/Stable Diffusion is as a product design tool in Blender. I was hesitant to upgrade a workstation to try out SD, but the NSFW stuff was novel enough give it a try using an internet hosted AI instance. Previously, I tried publicly hosted AI text prompts for product design images, but I didn't think I would be able to make it work for me. Now I have a much better understanding of the tool and how it works. I don't regularly visit NSFW stuff, but an article on Stable Diffusion mentioned how it is easier to learn by starting with generating images of humans because we have an innate ability to identify subtle detail in faces and bodies. And hey, if I'm going to try, why not be a connoisseur.

Like I said, I'm all for keeping NSFW separate. It is just worth mentioning that the prudish stigma attached to anything related to human sexuality, and writing it off as as useless vice is not very intelligent. There is a crossover with useful utility found within this space. I didn't expect to discover this myself based on my prior assumptions and cultural stigma. I wanted to make mention that this exists if others are interested and looking deeper into the NSFW subject/coexistence situation on Lemmy via this post.
