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’m surprised to find there are no adult subs popping up.

    I hit up my brother in law who is involved in the adult industry and he is going to spin up an instance that’s super ok with adult content in the next day or so.

    Let’s face it, without porn tumbler disappeared, and I think Reddit will too when it bans anything nsfw

      This is the dev run instance, and we don’t have time to moderate that.

        Isn’t this the overarching problem with lemmy just in general though? I mean, I’m loving it here, but without GOOD moderation any community, no matter where or how it’s hosted, can become very bad very quickly. I’m not blaming you all at all!! I completely understand where you’re coming from, but this is the same scaling issues that mastadon faces right? Is there any idea about how to address this?

          The idea is federation. No instance is obligated to scale to thousands of users if they can’t handle it. If somebody else thinks they can, they’re welcome to try.

          Reddit already relies on volunteer moderation. I don’t see how this is a barrier at all.
