Where can I find the NSFW communities?

I checked lemmy.nsfw but many of them are just empty or inactive at the moment.

I know it's gonna take time for Lemmy to grow but I don't wanna go to Reddit for this.

Edit: my instance has defederated from the lemmynsfw instance... So I'll just create an account there I guess.

Are you sure you enable nsfw on your profile? If you browse all, I think every 4th post is nsfw

Yeah but I don't need it in my feed lol. NSFW is NSFW. So I go looking for it 😂

My understanding is most NSFW posts are hidden by default unless you are logged in; if you are just visiting that instance directly and aren't logged in with an account there and changed your settings to view NSFW content it's gonna look pretty empty.

You should create a login specifically for lemmy.nsfw, there is a lot more there than you think and it's definitely growing.

Lemmyverse.net allows you to filter by only NSFW communities, let's you sort by activity types, like subs, posts, comments etc. That's how I find new subs sometimes NSFW and SFW

Additionally, make sure to sort by hot or new, on NSFW communities especially top day won't show anythung because not all of them are posted to everyday

You may need to create a 2nd account on the lemmy.nsfw instance. Your instance may have defederated with them.

I don't know why, but my instance seems to not index them for some reason. Some communities had some posts when visiting from my instance but after a few hours, all the posts disappeared and some NSFW communities have become empty. What could be the reason for this?
