I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?

I'm a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It's definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it's great to see something that isn't Reddit growing in popularity!

Dont know why you are downvoted. The issue with porn is basically moderation.

You can make a porn sub right now if beehaw.org allows it. (if it doesnt, there are others that allow it)

But it will get flooded with bot spam, loli shit and other illegal and NSFL stuff. That you should remove almost immediately or otherwise it becomes a legal concern for all involved.

You could also set up a whole new instance as well (as far as I understood the whole federation thing) but that would add additional costs for server resources, especially if people shall be able to upload pictures & videos themselves for example.

But if you can do it, more power to you! I might even stop by 😏

I dont get what is up with people wanting porn on a discission platform. Theres literally porn everywhere online. Why not just go to the bazillion other porn sites on the net? Its not like youll be browsing them for more than ten minutes at a time.
