What are your feelings on SFW posts on LemmyNSFW?
No, I’m not talking about meta discussions like the ones in this community. I think the value and necessity of those posts is pretty apparent.
I’ve been noticing something this morning while browsing All on the instance: i am seeing are a lot of SFW celebrity posts occurring on the sever, along with a number of communities dedicated to an individual celebrity.
For example, I just saw a post to a Gillian Anderson community with a “headshot” type pic of her in a what I would call a regular dress.
What does the general community think of this type of content being posted to lemmynsfw?
My first feeling is “eh, whatever, live and let live. If you don’t like it, block the community/poster so you don’t see it.” But at the same time, I just blocked several communities and I’m still seeing more… it just seems weird to post a bunch of SFW content to an NSFW dedicated instance.
As an aside, I realize I can just browse Subscribed, but I like browsing All to discover new communities.
You're viewing a single thread.
For celebrity communities that I've created, I don't mark them as NSFW. So maybe a filter for only show NSFW communities on the "All" page will be okay ? So, you don't have to worry about that celebrities.
For some hardcore/explicit ones, such as /c/JerkOffToCelebs maybe or not the pictures/videos will be NSFW but the title/comments would be wild. So, every post should mark as NSFW. Same for the user that made the /c/WatchItForThePlot community, I believe
The thing about these celebrities' fetishes, I'm not an expert but for me and people who have the same interest, sometimes it's not necessary to see them sexy/naked/having sex to get the impression that is "Not Safe for Work". But yeah, once again everything should be marked properly. If it's 50/50, I will message the poster and discuss it even with the other user in that community
A community I made to about /c/politicians for Female Politicians' content that gets you aroused or something like that. I can say 90%+ content on that community would be not explicit, but people who have the same interest would start saying something wild and fantasizing about them. So, in that matter, every post that contains it should mark as NSFW
Maybe you didn't notice, but most of the time I've held myself to not posting because I know that if I post too much at a time, it will be very annoying. It's a different case If this instance is very crowded with big posters that have potentially a lot of upvotes, then my posts wouldn't have a lot of engagement.
I joined lemmy in early June/end of May. It was just like less than 100 instances, it's hard to find instances that allowed these communities that I've made. I'm worried to make these kinda communities for instance that talk more about politics, technology, reddit, or something like that. Well, I know /kbin for a while but they are still a lot more to do to function the site well before I will contribute a lot there.
I'm just a guest here who wants to help contribute to this instance for people who have the same interest. I read the sitewide rules and always keep up with /c/lemmynsfw posts. I will respect this instance's rules. If these types of communities are forbidden, you can restrict them or even delete them. I have no rights
For moderation, even with that many communities, I have moderated approximately posts (besides myself) about 20+ posts/day, and users' reports are very helpful as well. So, right now, it won't be a problem for me to handle that. But of course, as the communities continue to grow, I will invite a few users that have contributed a lot and have the understanding to moderate
If you want to block all my celebrity communities, just ask me. I will give you the list. Maybe we can discuss this with /c/NSFW411 mod for categorizing ? I've noticed they are already doing it. And probably a feature to block communities in bulk ?
I am so sorry for this. I didn't intend to make this amount of trouble
Given the fact that your communities pop up regularly in active/hot, I'd say there's at the very least a fair bit of interest in them from the people on this instance, so I definitely wouldn't feel bad about it, it's clear that there's plenty people enjoying your content
I haven't seen what's active/hot for a while. Right now, I should sort it to Subscribed > New. Because, while browsing I have to moderate as well. It is very limited for moderators to moderate as of now. I believe soon the features would be better.
That’s all very kind of you and thank you for working to manage the effect of these communities on the instance. I think, as others have said, it’s the number of celeb-specific communities that seem to keep appearing that contribute to the “issue”, as the community blocking can feel never ending.
I agree, a “NSFW” only filter would be a wonderful addition. Hopefully it’s something we’ll see in the future. It’s worth saying again, I’m not looking for these communities to be blocked. Clearly there is a demand for them and I understand the general reason for them being on an NSFW instance.
