I think we should also focus on communities that can draw comments. Something along the lines of r/AskRedditAfterDark. Communities around erotica, roleplay, confessions etc should also be good for engagement.
Coms that are focused on visual stuff would naturally be low in engagement IMO.
All of the "gonewild" subs should specifically be for non-commercial OC, as they were on reddit. Nothing against people trying to make a buck off OnlyFans, but I much prefer content from people doing it "just because" as opposed to monetizing it.
Personally I think filling out the vanilla some of the subs would be good to help drive traffic, which in turn helps determine which of the more niche ideas are wanted. That’s why I made !porninfifteenseconds@lemmynsfw.com. Some other broad ones could be general nsfw, nsfw_gifs, (is gonewild still a thing?), and maybe a rule34 com.
I love consuming porn using other media. I'd like to propose equivalents for r/gonewildaudio (aka sound only) and r/erotica (aka text only). I also 'liked' to complain at r/highlibidocommunity which was a more adult version of r/deadbedrooms.
Reddit migrant here, looking for some rough equivalents of what we have/had over there. Not sure how much my suggestions are worth, considering I'm purely a fetishist, and not really into nudity (or anything involving intimate areas), which makes my existance on a purely NSFW platform questionable... :P
BDSM:
General discussion board
Memes (r/bdsmmemes)
Content sharing boards:
Bondage (maybe even with specializations like)
Straitjackets (r/straitjacketbondage)
Armbinders (r/armbinders)
Sleepsacks
Vacuum Beds (r/vacbeds)
Latex:
Latex clothing
Shiny bondage (r/shinybondage)
I'd probably actively participate in the BDSM discussion board, and have some OC bondage and latex content I could share, should appropriate communities arise.
Personally, I love the more niche fetishes, but I do agree with the other posters here that we probably need more vanilla and conversation-driven coms first to drive engagement.
As I think on it, a place for amateurs to post a la gonewild and its variants would probably be a draw.
The big thing I think is lacking right now is subs focused in short gifs/vids, I'm guessing because it's hard to link/host those right now or something like that. Things like:
HugeChicksTinyDicks (the best one)
MonsterDicks, TooBig, DirtySmall
BlowjobSandwich or Dreamjobs
SheLikesItRough or Hardcore or Manhandled, also TooCuteForHardcore
DamnGoodInterracial
AsianGirlsWhiteCocks
As for image focused subs, CelebsWithPetiteTits was a good one, full with public images (or movie gifs) from adult women with somewhat smaller breasts.
I just made !nsfw411@lemmynsfw.com with the intention of using it as an organized catalog of communities, categorizing them by type. Feel free to post any communities
and the categories they may fall under. The communities also don't have to be specifically on lemmynsfw.com, they could also be from other lemmy instances or maybe kbin instances.
If anyone wants to help with the categorizing, message me or reply.
Something to share/discuss videos found on other sites. I find content that is just too exciting to me, and it would be fun to find some like-minded pervs.
A 'star' finder like "Who is this person? Any other videos you have with them?"
honestly idk, i usually watch consensual-nonconsent kinda stuff but 1. it has a tiny audience and 2. it usually makes ppl angry and drives them away. I wouldn't wanna bring my shit here cuz then you'd have more trouble than good i imagine.
I guess coms works, or comms as my spell checker wants even though that's communications. Not as catchy as subs, but communities is definitely a PITA to type.
I'm actually really surprised that there is no dedicated titfuck community yet outside of !paizuri: a 2D only community. I always thought it was a pretty mainstream thing to be into, but we somehow have a dedicated feet community before that—not a kink shame; that's my jam too.
Edit: Seems it has now been created. Go check out !titfuck!
Cis lesbian, trans lesbian and cis on trans lesbian (probably would need to be in separate communities).
Professional and amateur trans content, ideally in separate communities and ideally in an environment were at the very least we don't get treated with slurs. r/Safe4Trans was very good and I will miss it.
The subreddit /r/PrettyOlderWomen has a great feature/rule: All pictures are dated with a year or the label "recent photo". That way you can spot reposts very easily and concentrate on new pictures. I'd love to see that feature/rule on celebrity communities.
not sure how big this instance is gonna get, but gonewildaudio is one of my favourite subreddits. I actually have no idea what's going to happen to that subreddit if they decide to not reopen. Because that really was a unique place, most of the rest of the content you can find elsewhere but I genuinely have no idea where to find that kind of stuff if not for reddit.
I have been unable to find something like "coffeegonewild" or "yolocafe" here, those were always personal favorites of mine to post on. Nice "we're just everyday people being sexy" vibes. I'll admit that I haven't searched very hard, yet.
BDSM (porn) but also BDSM advice and discussion. Then more specific, rope play - shibari, both artistic content and a way to discuss designs, tutorials. I think shibari could be both, not too focused on porn, but more showing off designs and help each other tie safely.
