How to make NSFW Communities Discoverable?

It is my (perhaps incorrect) understanding that NSFW communities are hidden from the global search unless you are registered/logged in at that instance.

This makes it tough for federated users to find your stuff.

Any tips on making that easier? For example, I am registered at lemmy.ml but wanna see y'alls

I also run an instance that allows NSFW content so curious for helping discoverability of that instance as well. Was thinking of maybe adding a 'site map-esque' concept to a general/welcome community's sidebar with the appropriate search strings.

ie, something like:

If you'd like to subscribe to a community put this in your search bar...

Community 1 is blah

!{community_name_1}@{instance_url}

Community 2 is blem

!{community_name_2}@{instance_url}

Community 3 is shmlep

!{community_name_3}@{instance_url}

Any better way?

  • I think a site-map like post would be the best way of doing things. I can't think of any better way of doing it anyway. I could see maintaining it being kind of a pain.

    I'll look into it, might have an idea. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
