    It’s my opinion that nsfw content is what will make or break Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin, or any other fediverse community.
    Every single social media giant has some degree of nsfw content, it’s a big draw that gets non-techies to join.
    Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook; all of them have/had some amount of pornographic material. Of course it’s incredibly difficult to moderate porn though, and in no way am I saying that it should be unmoderated, but I also think that 100% excluding it would be a huge factor in determining long-term success. There’s even a song about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6eFNRKEROw

      To paraphrase an oldie: if NSFW was not allowed, there’d be just one [lemmy] community called c/bringbacktheporn

      Is NSFW banned all together or just on this instance? Couldn’t someone spin up a lemmy instance just for NSFW?

        I think someone could make their own instance with NSFW content, but other Lemmy instances could choose to block it.

      Lol that song is a throwback. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone’s already setting up a Lemmy instance for NSFW content.
