Why are text-based communities on Lemmy NSFW so difficult to get going? (lemmynsfw.com)

Back when I was on Reddit, I was of course subscribed to a lot of the porn subs, but what really made the experience special for me were all the text-based NSFW communities — the R4Rs, the RAOs, the gonewildstories/slutty confessions/etc.

There seem to be a fair number of people who have come over to Lemmy from Reddit but these sorts of communities just haven't taken off. This instance has dirty chat and r4r communities but they're sparsely populated, and the latest content is 3 or 4 months old. The main source of gonewildstories is the bot that reposts from Reddit.

Do people here just not like to engage with other users over text like this? Or is there a secret trove of filthy communities that I just don't know about? More and more I'm starting to regret nuking my porn Reddit account and wondering about going back.

It's not as smooth to navigate on here for a variety of reasons and circumstances. It makes connecting on here casually and instantly difficult. And people need to be frisky at the right moment and time so unless there's enough users on at different times in the right communities in the right instances on the compatible algorithms, you just don't get the numbers you need
