In this instance, should we ban NSFL, hardcore gore content? I think it’s not a problem since anyone can subscribe to the community they want but if the vast majority don’t want it, we can ban it. Decisions must be made from the beginning.

Here’s a StrawPoll link.

Edit: Looks like we are going to ban it. Commenters are right that we cannot currently list NSFW and NSFL content separately on the homepage. Since anyone can open an instance, we should let other people to open an instance on lemmynsfl.com. Also moderating these communities can be hard too. So it’s okay.

    I suppose you need to decide what is NSFW. Is it only the Lewd images people are posting? That’s pretty tame. Are you going to accept nude/porn/hardcore porn/fetish/furry? Violence? Drugs? Nsfl can be nsfw.

    So what is the purpose of this community?

      agree. NSFW is such a broad thing to be a community. Atm we need to build specified communities for different topics. Like there could be a porn community and a gore community separately. and then go from there to more specific things like an amateur porn community, or to hentai, or fight videos etc.

      For now tho definitely need to just pick one or the other. I cant imagine a porn/gore community being super successful cos those are two WILDLY different moods for most ppl

      The instance and communities are different things. Communities can have their own rules about NSFW or NSFL contents. This community ([email protected] ) is only for updates about lemmynsfw.com. People can subscribe any community on lemmynsfw.com.

      Now that we’ve made the distinction, what I want to ask here is should we block NSFL communities on the lennynsfw.com instance?

        But dont posts from all communities in an instance show if you’re browsing on local.

        That could be hella jarring for someone who doesn’t want to see gore. Imo there really should be a feature that differentiates nsfl and nsfw in lemmy.

        Oh now i understand. Thanks for the explanation. In this case yes, I think both should be allowed, so people can make separate communities for each. Both porn and gore are considered NSFW so they both fall under the banner of our instance :D
