I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.

    Maybe you can tell me. Does Lemmy have NSFW content?

    Edit: Easily answered that question for myself

      There are at least two instances specifically dedicated to it. I currently prefer pornlemmy.com to lemmy.nsfw. We need some more niche content to make it’s way onto the platform, but it’s a good start.

        I keep seeing people say they want more “niche” content when it comes to porn on here but are people just looking for kinks or what?

        I saw all kinds of nasty kink stuff when I was browsing pornlemmy.

          For me personally, I’m a woman who is mostly attracted to other women, but I’m kinky af. Reddit has/had lesbian specific versions of a lot of NSFW subs. Having occasional lesbian content in niche communities isn’t the same. There are other very specific things that are personal to me, but needing more lesbian content would be the biggest category for me easily.

          I think what people want is very specific, well curated, and active communities about uncommon interests. Things like a whole community that is just 30-35year old redheads wearing cat ears and cleaning their shower in yellow striped thigh highs or something equally as weird and specific.

          Like i remember stumbling across a community on reddit that was all about sewing felt vaginas/butts into stuffed animals so people could take their relationship with their favorite plushie to the next level. The community was shockingly active and full of discussion.

          Things like that take time and lots of active users to become a thing. Lemmy isnt quite there yet. Same with other kinds of niche interests that havent quite set up shop here yet (for example there are cannabis communities, but nothing specifically for bonsai cannabis)

            lol I am so not surprised something like that was active but I guess I have always been on the darkest corners of the internet.

            bonsai cannabis?? Please tell me more about that.

              Lol it was an interesting peak into the depravity of the human psyche 😅

              And cannabonsai is super fun! You prune the cannabis kind of like a traditional bonsai tree. Its fun because you can get a complete look in a few months compaired to the years that traditional bonsai takes. It also works really well as a way to keep a graphed mother plant with multiple strains.

              I was gonna share a pic of my plant but I cant figure out how to add pictures in my comments that actually show up… so heres a link to some pics :)

                Thanks for the link! I was also looking it up. It sounds really cool and I love that you can achieve the effect in just a few months.

                If you have desktop you can insert images on lemmy - its been working for me so far.
