Dumb questions but when i scroll thru lemmy how come i dont find much nsfw stuff. I like not seeing it but when i do see something the community is very small and cursed to say.

Im just used to seeing people spam nsfw type jokes coming from Reddit. Its good that i haven't used Reddit in some time.

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.
