I’m genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

    I’ve actually meant to ask about this. I not only agree about the porn part of the site needing to exist, but I feel like it’s important that any federated platform have really terrible parts to it. I feel like I will truly trust the platform once it has places that I’m both uninterested in going to and also find disturbing. I’m not asking for this to turn into a right wing cesspool but there are several edgy communities such as r/WatchPeopleDie that I’d like a reappearance of even if I don’t browse them.

      Do you know about mastodon? It’s way bigger than lemmy and a twitter alternative, and it has developed these kinds of spaces. They have NSFW servers and “free speech extremist” ones etc. With time I see this coming to lemmy as well. Don’t forget that a couple of days ago we were just a couple of hundred people here :)
