We don’t want to overmoderate, but we have to add some rules for ease of moderation and cooperation with other instances in the federation.

  • 1. Non-flagged NSFW posts: Although we already had a rule about it, we were applying it a little more flexibly. From now on, posts that are not properly flagged as NSFW will be deleted without notice.

  • 2. NSFW community icons: As NSFW status can be added to communities, we think that hiding/blurring community icons is the responsibility of clients like Mlem, Jerboa or Lemmy-UI. That’s why NSFW community icons are allowed.

  • 3. NSFW user avatars: Unlike community icons, users do not have an NSFW status. For this reason, NSFW user icons are banned. This rule may change as a result of improvements in Lemmy.

In order to apply the 3rd rule, the user will be informed first. Any post or comment made afterward may result in a ban due to non-compliance with the rule.

    What’s this? A few completely reasonable rules?

    Yeah, all this seems completely reasonable.

    I don‘t think you overmoderate. Federated social networks are new and you do a great job at keeping a community with a delicate topic alive.

    Question about rule 1. Since this is a NSFW instance, but there are SFW posts (ie: in a celebrity sub), do those also require NSFW tags, even if technically SFW? Or, is this more referring to things that should be flagged as NSFW, like full nudity, but aren’t flagged?

      Nope, SFW ones are not required to be marked. With your example, content from the celebs community is not required if it’s SFW.

        Thanks for the quick clarification. That’s what I assumed, but didn’t want to be wrong.

    Hi! I would like to create a bot that monitors a subreddit on Reddit and posts the same post on a community I would create here on lemmynsfw.com. Is this allowed by the rules?

    Thank you!

      Hi. This question has been asked before. I asked to admin team too. Maybe we could do a poll about this. Please wait for it.

        If you do a poll on it I personally would like to see an option like “Allow it if either the community mods are fine with it or if the admin team approves the bot, otherwise do not allow repost-bots

          Yeah absolutely. We should escape from duplicates.
