Hi all! Mikey here, one of your fearless admins. We've had so many new users lately that I wanted to bid you all welcome! Have a look around. You'll need an account to see the nsfw content, which is most of it. Feel free to sign up for one -- we rarely go more than a few hours, maybe a day at most, without zeroing the application queue.
We like new people and we strongly encourage to you participate, not just lurk! But before you do, please check the rules in the right-hand sidebar of the main page (or here) and also give the ol' FAQ a quick clickeroonie: https://docs.lemmynsfw.com/docs/faq/.
Our purpose is to be a safe, friendly place for NSFW "research" on the Fediverse . I know a lot of you are coming over from reddit and so I would like to stress that despite superficial similarities, we are not reddit and we don't want to be reddit. The vibe around here is different and some things that were common over there are not acceptable around here. Please make note of our content restrictions. We are especially picky about respect and consent, and we take our sourcing policy seriously.
Things are still pretty new around here and there are a lot of rough edges, so we hope you'll try to bear with us. Lemmy isn't fully featured yet, so running a Lemmy instance, let alone an NSFW instance, is kind of like trying to build a plane while it's already in the air.
If you have any new user questions you can comment here, post in c/asklemmynsfw, or if you use matrix, there's a public operations page: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmynsfw:matrix.org (what Lemmy is to Reddit and Mastodon is to Twitter, matrix is to Slack or Discord). You can also message me or another admin, but matrix will probably get you a faster reply.
Thanks everyone! Welcome once again, and I hope to see you around.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I find this bot especially enjoying because its “better” link format doesn’t work for me - is not highlighted or clickable. And it posts this so-called correction on links that DO work for me just fine.
I have a small suggestion: number the rules on the sidebar. For me (iOS safari and iOS voyager), the rules show up as bullets. If they were numbered, when someone refers to a “rule #” violation, I wouldn’t have to count the rules to figure out which one was being violated.
Ah. Unfortunately, that’s not what I see. I’m guessing this is a markdown issue. I feel like I’ve seen lack of markdown support being mentioned as an issue with lemmy on mobile. Here is what I see:
Ok so, new user here. I created an account on this instance so I could separate my "extracurricular" browsing from a regular account. However, there are a number of communities that I see from other instances that are supposedly hosted here, but I cannot find them when I search here. What am I doing wrong?
