If I interpret this comment and this comment correctly, this may be a feature of PieFed that automatically (or with a checkbox?) announces new communities to this one, so the people who are doing this might not be completely aware that this is what they are doing and might end up not reading this post.

I'm fine with it

and I think that it improves searchability to have one per community, rather than some bulk post -- but the posts need to be marked NSFW, and some of the announcement posts are not, which means that people who have NSFW stuff blocked are still getting them. I think that that's the real problem.

My understanding is that this is something of an exceptional situation, as apparently lemmynsfw.com

the biggest NSFW community host on the Threadiverse

went down and the admin was supposed to be away for some months, so it's not coming back up in at least the near future, and so it sounds like people are setting up alternatives on other instances.

I was slightly critical of this post and tone, buuuut after checking all the recent posts...it is quite excessive.

I think the general post about the new instance is perfect, and maybe including a link to a nsfw specific 'new communities' sub that's part of the new instance.

Why not just tag the posts NSFW and let users filter out NSFW posts if they don’t want to see them?

Maybe 1 post for all of them together would've be sufficient lol

...why are they any different than any other community you don't care about? There aren't pictures included in the announcements, and you can easily scroll past the post.

I think it'll only be a problem for a week anyhow.

None of the images from these new subs are loading for me so it's double-pointless!

Crazy that this is controversial even though those 26 posts from yesterday were all heavily downvoted. Maybe commenters aren't representative

whats the point of this community if not to announce new communites? I don't see anything in the right side bar about it. I would think you would bring it up with the mods to put a rule in and maybe change the name to new puritan compliant communities.

I checked quickly and I agree but the way you say it is clearly an issue to me. You seem really judging + you fall into every ragebait... nevermind I hope you will be heard 'cause it's boring yeah.

oh god! why did you tell me! I can't control myself anymore! I'm on a train right now!

But where my big mommy milkers at

For you

An upside of the porn spam is that it linked me to what new instance to block before it became an issue. I don't like blurring nsfw by default for artistic nudity or non-porn nsfw content, but I also don't like my global feed to be half porn, so I find blocking the instance to be a good enough solution.

Does FediNSFW have an equivalent community? It does kinda make sense to at least temporarily block these posts, and maybe sticky a link there instead.

sybau lil broski🙏

There's been a couple different accounts that do it, just block the account the first one time you see it, because they'll keep doing it till they're banned then make a new account.

Most likely its just one person who likes putting NSFW places it's not meant to be, which is why they were/are using porn pics as thumbnails so they show up on /all

I just blocked the entire domain honestly, it's what you need to do if you really want to prevent it.

thanks, i'm going to reply with a screenshot of this thread anytime anyone asks me what's going on over on lemmy

Why don’t you showcase and amplify uses of the Fediverse that you find novel and compelling even louder and drown the other announcements out?

Especially if you/they can't fix the "are you 18" bug. I click yes, it just reloads the prompt. So you're basically just wasting our time. (I think you have to be a member of that instance to make it go away? Just guessing here.)

As someone who browses /all, I have no problem viewing the image/link if you post from the community, but posting the community itself, on that instance, isn't helping anybody. Maybe just post the instance once a day and list the new communities it has? But posting each new community isn't really doing anything.

I'm all for people posting communities here, but if there's nothing in the community/I can't see it, my time's been wasted and I'm gonna drop the rare downvote.

As for porn, I don't much care either way, but I'd like to see some more female-friendly porn. Not because I'm female (I'm not; cis/het male here), but because the dehumanising and objectification hasn't been "hot" for me for decades. If it ever was. At least show the gal getting something out of it.
