Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Many instances defederate from NSFW communities. Usually not for any kind of censorship, but just so it's not mixing in with regular discourse as much.
Your lemmy instance, leminal.space has defederated from lemmynsfw.com which is by far the largest NSFW-oriented instance.

While true, it's also the case that the NSFW communities are, today, a lot smaller than on Reddit. I think that that's true of pretty much all communities; not something specific to NSFW communities. The population here is just smaller.
@[email protected], this URL will show you what instances your home instance is defederated from.

Click the "Blocked instances" tab.
Most of the blocked instances are related to underage anime
"shota" or "loli" feature prominently in those instance domain names
but burggit.moe also has con-noncon content, and lemmynsfw.com is pretty mainstream.
You might either (a) switch home instances if you want to browse NSFW communities or (b) just create a second account on a second instance and use that to browse NSFW, if you're otherwise happy with leminal.space.
It's also possible to filter stuff at the user level if it's tagged correctly as NSFW, but frankly, people don't do a perfect job of that.
