There should be a kind of “sorting hat” personality test to attract the interest of prospective Lemmy joiners. People who love solarpunk stuff, for example, would easily find their home in slrpnk.net. Set a link to it on sites like join-lemmy.org to make the fediverse more approachable to casuals.

    Weird. Then either our instances are secretly blocking it, not through defederation, or there’s some other mysterious technical reason for it.

      Many (most?) instances do block porn. Aside from liability concerns, porn tends to be high bandwidth, meaning high costs to operate. As such, there are a handful of VERY NSFW instances that aren’t well-federated.

      Of course, it depends on how you define porn. I see a ton of suggestive (but not outright pornographic) anime when I browse All/New, but very little of actual naked humans.

        I totally understand why they would do it. I don’t understand why or how they block the NSFW instances without them appearing in the list of blocked instances.

        lemmynsfw appears to be blocked secretly on lemm.ee. It’s not listed under blocked instances there, but I can’t see any posts from lemmynsfw there either. There must be some other mechanism that’s available besides blocking instances in the open.

          Mmh ok. Thats too bad. Hoped at least this part of administration is “open”. I fixed the issue by making a second account on the blocked instance. It’s like a used Reddit to. One account for stuff and another for “stuff”

            Yeah, that’s how I do it too. Although some instances don’t seem to block it, you would have to find out which, and that may be difficult to find.
