Where do you draw the line on NSFW content? (lemmy.zip)

Hi all. I was excited when I saw a new Dead by Daylight community was created and I've been trying to post daily to get it going. Its not my community, but I would love to have a thriving Dead by Daylight community on the Fediverse.

Some Dead by Daylight game content can be mature in theme, and I marked some posts as NSFW because I thought they might be a bit borderline, but I also noticed those posts I did mark as NSFW saw almost no interaction. Not even from the community owner. I suspect the issue is the NSFW flag and I second guessed and removed it, but I wanted to hear perspectives from others on that. Is violent game content worth marking NSFW? Should I just wait and see if anybody is bothered? Does marking things NSFW limit their growth a great deal?

Cool, thanks. I hope that Lemmy eventually implements that tag too and makes it interoperable with the Piefed one, because as it is currently, this solution would only be a solution for users seeing the post from Piefed itself and wouldn't address the majority of users.

    Lemmy's development compared to Piefed is quite slow. Piefed reached feature parity with Lemmy only one year and a half after starting, and now it has a lot more features.

    Feature fragmentation happens all the time, Mastodon didn't have quote replies for a very long time, most of the Misskey forks had it.

    People who want to use those features move to the platform which supports them.

    Every time someone posts that a feature from Lemmy is missing while it exists in Piefed, people are going to tell that person to migrate to Piefed.

    And it's okay, quite a few people probably don't need a "gore" filter or personal feeds. But for the ones who do, the option is there.
