I know Lemmy is about to take off because the porn is quickly moving from drawn henti and furry images to gonewild onlyfan contributors. I call it the QOTP Index (Quality Of The Porn). Reddit is done.
First GW OC poster to post an image of herself (sorry boys) naked holding a can of beans is going to melt this place down faster than KBins backed up queue.
I keep referencing a joke one of my friends made years ago. He was joking with a guy saying they should gangbang his girlfriend in a bathtub full of baked beans. Understandably, the guy didn’t get the humor in it and things got pretty heated. It’s been ~20 years and I still bring it up whenever I can.
Tbh that whole instance should have a rule about 0 self promotion to paywalled and/or abridged content without a link to the full source for free as well. It's really anyone to have any links stifled because he OP is an onlyfans model. If you wanna post here for advertisement, you better put up or shut up.
It's pretty easy. Just don't go to lemmynsfw.com. hopefully, we'll get a way to subscribe to block all communities on another instance with a single click at some point to make this easier.
I partially get the reason for hiding NSFW content behind a sign up but at the same because it's not stated anywhere, for a newcomer it looks like the instance may just be without content.
That dead woman called Tumblr is still walking with a healthy strut these days, also soaking up some displaced Redditors. Horny shit is slowly but surely returning to Tumblr's fields, as well.
Tumblr illustrates the problem with porn in general, they didn't shut it down for no reason, they shut it down because the pedos had decided to use it as a dissemination portal for their vile shit, and the structure of Tumblr made it difficult to moderate away, especially at scale. Thus, Apple threatening to pull them from the app store, for good reason. All they could do was go scorched earth on porno.
So that's the issue we're going to have, here, and I'm not sure if the "some guy running an instance for the fuck of it" model is prepared for it.
The key difference with lemmy is, if that one instance is the one disseminating cp, they get defederated, and so removed from the other normal users, and then if the instance doesn't shut down, LEO gets involved. The other normal porn-hosting instances can operate business as usual.
Yahoo banned porn on Tumblr because Apple found a CSAM image on their platform, banned their app from the App Store, then as a condition for unbanning the Tumblr app, issued them an ultimatum to outright ban pornographic content. I originally thought that Yahoo's justification was an excuse they used because they couldn't be bothered to invest the resources needed to purge illegal content from their platform, but apparently Discord have been hit with similarly puritanical demands from Apple and Google, who basically have a monopoly on what apps go on your smartphone,
Nevertheless, Tumblr's porn exodus is the core reason why Yahoo sold the platform to Automattic for pennies compared to how much they originally acquired Tumblr for. It even sparked a renaissance of lewd artists flocking to Newgrounds - a site that was originally on its knees due to the death of Flash animations and browser gaming.
It's also worth noting that Automattic have since partially dialed-back the ban. Nudity is allowed on Tumblr again, but graphic sexual content isn't. Obviously they did this in direct response to Elon Musk enshittifying Twitter. Another reason I think Tumblr is living on is because it was known for three things: porn, niche fandoms and social justice warriors. Musk has notably burned bridges with any Twitter users who oppose hate speech.
God forbid if Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai find out there's porn on Reddit....
When I browse "all" on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit's r/all was so much better when nudity wasn't purged from it.
One of my required classes in college had a day where the professor just talked about all the times porn determined the newest media distribution standards.
Technology has more or less flowed with the proliferation of porn. VHS (over Betamax), bluray (over HD-DVD), online payments and other Internet features rose to prominence because pornographic content helped spearhead their adoption.
I will die on the hill that blu-ray won over HD-DVD purely because the PS3 could play blu-ray and the Xbox 360 couldn't play either. Blu-ray players were crazy expensive when the PS3 came out, to the point that the PS3 was the cheapest blu-ray player when it came out.
I'm not sure that's a valid comparison. Tumblr was overwhelmingly porn, which was its biggest selling point. The only thing dumber was when OnlyFans tried to ban hardcore porn (Fortunately, I guess, they saw the light pretty quick and relented)
While Reddit always had porn, it was never the primary draw.
Fun fact, you can actually tell how the economy is doing based off sex workers tips and income. It's actually more reliable than any other financial marker.
Has that been proven yet? I thought we needed to wait for the outcome of the state of the economy in the next little bit.
That stripper predicted the start of economic decline but until we can see if there's an economic boom after their most recent tweet I don't think we can say that it's a fact yet.
Strip clubs, apparently. The slower the work, the more likely the economy is about to start hurting as it's (apparently) one of the first things people stop doing to save money.
The big Mac scale was made obsolete by the apple scale.. which is superseded by the sex scale…
Which actually makes sense, because you get a good dataset from a wide community of users… it’s not limited to people who eat McDonald’s or buy apple products. Inherently, “sex” or sexually focused material is a commodity that interests a broader community.
Seeing as we are both alt porn users, if I disable NSFW on my main, will it show me non porn NSFW? There's a community called uncle jokes and a lot of their posts are marked NSFW. And I don't wanna miss them.
My lemmy page was already covered in weird fucked up hentai and drawn stuff when I signed up. I've had to block communities one at a time, just to have non-pornographic NSFW content.
Oh fuck, i completely forgot about betamax and HD-DVD. Back in Uni I wrote a 20 page paper about failed formats. I sent my first draft to my professor for feedback. He called me in and asked "Have you thought about porn?" I bet my facial expression must have been priceless.
That's a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn't record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant
Also licensing out the VHS format to 3rd party manufacturers also played a not insignificant role in beating Betamax. More conpanies making more VHS machines won a lot of the battle.
Let’s face it. The quality of porn on Reddit died over a year ago. Porn businesses got involved and sauce vanished. The content has been weak. It was probably all part of the plan in the Reddit IPO scope of things.
I will never pay for porn and the big studios can suck it till I cum on their faces. Porn will always be free forever.
I would agree if Onlyfans creators put even a shred of effort into their content. Most of all it is just them sitting in front of a camera for a few minutes.
They aren't making money by making porn, they are making money by fostering parasocial relationships with people desperate for intimacy.
Most of them anyway. And no, I never subscribed to any, I pirate it. And the noise to content ratio is like 99 to 1.
The one account I kept active over there is my porn account because I’ve spent a lot of time curating my feed and can’t get that anywhere else. Not to mention, Reddit doesn’t get ad revenue from the porn subs.

People who post or interact with porn also post other stuff.
Tumblr died after they killed off porn, because porn users left the site. That made Tumblr less interesting for people who followed those porn users' non-porn content, which meant that some of them left. Which in turn made it worse for people following that second group, and so on.
The same might happen the other way around. One can only hope.
Tumblr didn't die. It's still around. It's biggest issue is it's shitty search function, not lack of porn (which they did need to remove due to all the cp on there)
Correction, it blurs them. You have to change your browsing to all, not local to see content from federated instances, then they will show up in feed. Also change your sort to hit, not active
Honestly I started looking for other websites that had similar shit to my preferred porn subreddits. It'd be much easier to completely cut reddit off if all the porn was here XD
I miss r/wholesomehentai and r/hentaisource. There were a lot of chill and helpful people there. Been waiting for a anime/hentai instance to pop up in the fediverse
meh, for me the gonewild crowd peddling their OF accounts and the inevitable thirsty interactions are a sign of a falling porn quality index, really wish something could be done about it. but in one thing you're right, reddit is done.
If it's worth the time to advertise to, it has to have value of some sort. Even if the QOTP Index isn't real there definitely is one for advertiser willingness.
I find porn absolutely disgusting. It's a vile, evil concoction that only caters to the most animalistic of instincts. If you're like me, avoid lemmynsfw.com at all costs.
I am all for people enjoying whatever their kink is (as long as it isn’t harming others) but that was one of the first communities I had to block. That group is full of prolific posters.
Your friend may need to go into their profile settings and allow NSFW content. Seems to be off by default. Then your friend will see a range of posts in the all feed.
How do I even get porn? The app I'm using apparently hides all nsfw content and there isn't an option to turn it off. What app should I use instead? Can I only do porn on the browser?
Y’all have never heard of pornhub? Idk how you people will get off to 5 second clips or photos, it’s not the 90s anymore. And it’s annoying going to some chick’s profile and seeing all these duplicate posts across different subs/communities

Where can I find that drawn porn, tho? Preferably that doesn't include CP cuz holy shit there was a lot of CP friendly stuff (not outright CP thankfully) popping up when I was googling where all the porn on Lemmy was at.
