I haven't posted in a week since Lemmynsfw went down and I feel like I need to keep the spirit alive somewhere.

I'm not on piefed yet but that would be acceptable too.

Unironically a big loss for Lemmy and perhaps the fediverse in general. Nothing attracts people to a platform like ass & titties. No chance we're going back to R*ddit.

Bring back the porn!

You said today's secret word!

What a way to find out, lol.

zips up

[-] Despair@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I actually thought your instance was dead for a while. Kind of funny finding out it's still around on a post about another instance being offline.

[-] dumples@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

LemmyNSFW was the perfect example of a single subject instance. So much so that it was the only NSFW instance and another one is needed

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Sounds like a big opportunity if anybody ever wanted to start up and run a big, popular instance...

Though it might be a bit of a nightmare to moderate.

[-] stsquad@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

I suspect the bandwidth and storage costs are considerably higher than your average instance as well.

Plus the additional crap you have to deal with. I wouldn't be surprised if the mods and admins of Lemmy.NSFW had to deal with a lot of CSAM

There was another one once, pornlemmy. Not sure what killed it, but it also no longer exists.

[-] meejle@piefed.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Looking at Lemmy Explorer, and using the "Only Show NSFW" filter, it looks like it's pretty much just Lemmy.world at the moment.

[-] qt3456@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

I browsed a few sidebars and these instances didn't rule out NSFW: lemmy.org, lemmings.world, reddthat, lemmy.blahaj.zone, hilariouschaos, and of course Lemmy.world.

Ideally the priority would be one that doesn't require email verification.

I didn't even realize it had died. Something if that's why I've been seeing more porn crop up between regular posts in my "normal" Lemmy lately.

Anyone know why NSFW died? Not enough money, admins, or did somebody take it out?

There was a post from one of the admins saying that the other admin was the only person with server access and has gone mia. Apparently one admin did setup and rented the sever space to host and the other was responsible for day to day maintenance. They didn't know why the admin with server access had stopped responding to their messages.

Plot twist: The admin that went MIA was CourseMediocre7998

I just migrated my comms to Reddthat and Piefed.zip (!NikkeNSFW@reddthat.com and !BigAnimeTiddies@piefed.zip).

From reading their rules, they don't prohibit NSFW content.

We should use the death of LemmyNSFW as reminder to spread communities across as many instances as possible so something like this won't happen again at the same scale.

Because right now, if Lemmy.World goes down, then we're absolutely fucked.

Edit: fixed typo.

I wouldn't go that far, but it would hurt a lot if it went down

[-] damniticant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wait what happened to lemmynsfw?!

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's down with no info, the admin ghosted.
