I know Lemmy is about to take off because the porn is quickly moving from drawn henti and furry images to gonewild onlyfan contributors. I call it the QOTP Index (Quality Of The Porn). Reddit is done.

First GW OC poster to post an image of herself (sorry boys) naked holding a can of beans is going to melt this place down faster than KBins backed up queue.

So it's beans now? I've seen a post or 2. Sure fuck it I'm down.

"Dude I've been here since the beans" coming in a few years

I think it started when someone said that Lemmy users would upvote a can of beans.

#knowyourmeme

It's actually still flying around the All feed right now lol this was far

I went to go upvote it (it's still there in "all") just because you mentioned it.

A lemming in the truest sense of the word.

Which someone called out as guerilla marketing - cause apparently you Yanks have baked beans as a traditional 4th July food???

I think baked beans are more of a BBQ item and July 4th is also a big BBQ day. Baked beans and bbq go way back :)

"Psh, that's nothing! I've been here since the 3-day no poop challenge!"

The difference on being here one week before of after the APIcalypse.

Not gonna lie I'm feeling like a veteran with my June 1st sign-up date.

And what a lot of people fail to realise is that Lemmy had been going for much longer than that. The point at which it really took off was when The Rock did some wrestling with another wrestler in a wrestling ring. In 1990.

You've got it all backwards. It was in 1998 when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

Hm, I don't know, I've seen a lot of them post pictures of themselves not pooping and no one is upvoting the meme.

I keep referencing a joke one of my friends made years ago. He was joking with a guy saying they should gangbang his girlfriend in a bathtub full of baked beans. Understandably, the guy didn’t get the humor in it and things got pretty heated. It’s been ~20 years and I still bring it up whenever I can.

Can't wait for the onlyfans accounts that spam the same vanilla nsfw image into 50 different communities at once. /s

Can't forget the same dumb title that's usually something like "Do older guys even like 18 year old?"

Obviously girl, that's why we're all here and you have 400k karma with a month old account

"Feeling down cause someone said my boobs aren't that great, what do you guys think?"

Anytime somebody initiates one of these self-negging comments in a bid for attention, even when it's this "I'm a waste of space, I'm just an inconvenience to everyone", type of stuff, I am sorely tempted to just passively agree; "Mmhmm. Yeah."

Also the classic "my boyfriend said my boobs were too big."

No he didn't. Literally no one ever said that.

The reality: My girlfriend said my moobs are too big.

OF models Ruined all the porn subreddits. It went from sources material to some chick having a seizure for 8 seconds hoping you will give her money.

And spamming all the subreddits regardless of how relevant they were with the same shitty advertisement.

Tbh that whole instance should have a rule about 0 self promotion to paywalled and/or abridged content without a link to the full source for free as well. It's really anyone to have any links stifled because he OP is an onlyfans model. If you wanna post here for advertisement, you better put up or shut up.

Disgusting! How to find these accounts so that I dont accidently subscribe ?

It's pretty easy. Just don't go to lemmynsfw.com. hopefully, we'll get a way to subscribe to block all communities on another instance with a single click at some point to make this easier.

I don't get the point of that entire instance; it's all clothed celebs and pseudo celebs. Shit's mild.

I can't jerk off to this‽

edit: I see, there's more stuff once you register, I'm a dummy.

NSFW communities don't show up by default. You can create an account on that instance to view all of them, or visit https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search for your specific interests.

create an account on that instance

I was told I could create an account anywhere on the fediverse and it wouldn't matter, I'd see everything. If I need to create an account every time I want to see some booba, that's not very seamless. Can I not just subscribe and see it on this lemmy.world account?

This is all very confusing coming from the one-account-one-site "everything just works" of reddit.

lemmynsfw isn't federated with most instances, that's why. And really, most people had a porn alt on reddit anyway, so they're used to it

Have you tried allowing NSFW posts in your settings? Assuming lemmynsfw.com hasn't been defederated from your instance, then the posts will then show up.

You don't necessarily need an account on lemmynsfw.com - you would just need an account to browse NSFW on their homepage. But you can see and interact with all their communities from your current instance.

Just search for the communities while on lemmy.world - for example !porn@lemmynsfw.com or !boobs@lemmynsfw.com or whatever. You can click on those.

Just make sure you have "Show NSFW" enabled on your profile settings

Now some instances like lemmy.ml decided to block (defederate) from lemmynsfw.com so YMMV

Oh I'm an idiot. Just signed up and I can see some stuff. Still fairly benign stuff, haven't even seen a single woman get CThreeP0'd.

I think you have to be signed in to see the NSFW stuff. Clicking the link above will take you to the instance site, logging you out. I think you need to search the instance url in Lemmy to go there from your instance?

I partially get the reason for hiding NSFW content behind a sign up but at the same because it's not stated anywhere, for a newcomer it looks like the instance may just be without content.

On a completely unrelated point, how can I browse/list all the communities on a separate iinstance from the one I've subscribed to?

Check out browse.feddit.de, by default it lists everything, but there's a menu where you can select just which instances you want to see.

I find lemmyverse.net to be much better. Just select "Communities" up top. And check the NSFW box if you want it.

4 more...

Maybe don't go to https://pornlemmy.com it's a silly place.

It seems it's not federated to this instance. pasting !pornlemmy@pornlemmy.com in the search bar doesn't find it.

EDIT: Oh the irony, The Link above works. The search doesn't

That must be a weird glitch everywhere right now. I can search for something but not find it, though I know it exists, but as soon as I post the link, then click the link twice (i.e. click the link, go back and click it again), the community shows up. Has happened twice for me. Is search just broken/ not working?

Just remember how quickly Tumblr fold after the banned porn.

Don't ever underestimate the power of horniness in which large part of the internet runs on.

That dead woman called Tumblr is still walking with a healthy strut these days, also soaking up some displaced Redditors. Horny shit is slowly but surely returning to Tumblr's fields, as well.

Tumblr illustrates the problem with porn in general, they didn't shut it down for no reason, they shut it down because the pedos had decided to use it as a dissemination portal for their vile shit, and the structure of Tumblr made it difficult to moderate away, especially at scale. Thus, Apple threatening to pull them from the app store, for good reason. All they could do was go scorched earth on porno.

So that's the issue we're going to have, here, and I'm not sure if the "some guy running an instance for the fuck of it" model is prepared for it.

The key difference with lemmy is, if that one instance is the one disseminating cp, they get defederated, and so removed from the other normal users, and then if the instance doesn't shut down, LEO gets involved. The other normal porn-hosting instances can operate business as usual.

Law enforcement would probably shut down such instances faster than the rest of Lemmy could collectively defederate them.

Hosting such stuff on the clear web is basically asking for a joint FBI, NCA and other major law enforcement agency raid on your premises.

I don't know, law enforcement can be pretty slow. I definitely see a few cease and desists happening before any real action, and as soon as that starts, the sane instances defederate.

Regardless, the point is, they get taken care of in one of a multitude of ways.

The piratebay has been running since 2003 - 2023 on the clear web. Thats how hard it is to take down a website when done properly. With the few times its been down and/or raided thats still 99.99% uptime.

The Pirate Bay is a very unique case because:

  1. Hosting costs are very low due to the inherent nature of torrenting. It's essentially just an index of magnet links used for downloading torrent files. Apparently the whole TPB directory could fit on less than 100MB of storage. They don't actually host any of the illegal content they provide.
  2. They've hosted the site on multiple cloud services, which law enforcement would have to play an endless game of whack-a-mole to truly dent.
  3. Sweden are notoriously lenient on piracy and copyright infringement. TPB's founders only faced a year in prison and a hefty multi million dollar fine when they went to trial.
  4. United States authorities are very unlikely to get the Swedish courts to extradite these individuals, because their 1960 extradition treaty is quite strict on what offences one can be extradited to the USA for, and the only mention of piracy on there refers to the maritime kind. Compare this to how easily Kickass Torrents was taken down and how the Polish authorities nearly got its founder flown out to the US to face trial.
  5. The hosts not only provided the knowledge to but outright encouraged others to host mirrors/proxies of the website to get past DNS censorship.
  6. There are ways to detect CSAM which makes it a lot easier to track down and lock up individuals who access it. Another big difference is that producing, distributing, and even possessing CSAM is seen as a far more heinous crime against humanity than downloading a pirated movie copy.

TLDR: there are three things that could survive a nuclear armageddon: cockroaches, Keith Richards and the Pirate Bay.

Not quite how it happened.

Yahoo banned porn on Tumblr because Apple found a CSAM image on their platform, banned their app from the App Store, then as a condition for unbanning the Tumblr app, issued them an ultimatum to outright ban pornographic content. I originally thought that Yahoo's justification was an excuse they used because they couldn't be bothered to invest the resources needed to purge illegal content from their platform, but apparently Discord have been hit with similarly puritanical demands from Apple and Google, who basically have a monopoly on what apps go on your smartphone,

Nevertheless, Tumblr's porn exodus is the core reason why Yahoo sold the platform to Automattic for pennies compared to how much they originally acquired Tumblr for. It even sparked a renaissance of lewd artists flocking to Newgrounds - a site that was originally on its knees due to the death of Flash animations and browser gaming.

It's also worth noting that Automattic have since partially dialed-back the ban. Nudity is allowed on Tumblr again, but graphic sexual content isn't. Obviously they did this in direct response to Elon Musk enshittifying Twitter. Another reason I think Tumblr is living on is because it was known for three things: porn, niche fandoms and social justice warriors. Musk has notably burned bridges with any Twitter users who oppose hate speech.

God forbid if Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai find out there's porn on Reddit....

Do you have a source on that? It doesn't smell right. Every platform (All of them. Every single one. No exceptions) that allows user-submitted images/videos has an issue that some of that content is illegal. CSAM is the most obvious, but not the only one. What made Tumblr different from the 20 million+ instances on Facebook? Source1, Source2 At the time, scrolling through r/All for just a few minutes was nearly certain to show something pornographic, although not CSAM.

The story I heard (admittedly, I'm having trouble finding a source at the moment) is that Tumblr's tools to remove CSAM weren't good enough. While they would remove the offending image when it was reported, they did not delete the connections to other users/groups. Which meant it was easy to find more, even after some had been removed. In turn, that meant that it quickly became the platform of choice for anyone uploading this stuff, creating a higher volume and ratio of illegal content.

While I know Apple has long been anti-porn, it seems unlikely that they would take such an arbitrary hard line while ignoring countless others.

"I'm fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left, and it'd be called 'Bring Back the Porn'"

Do we have a scrubs community yet somewhere?

When I browse "all" on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit's r/all was so much better when nudity wasn't purged from it.

Dude right? You scroll a bit, read some shit, laugh at some wit, and then there's a tit. It wa perfect.

One of my required classes in college had a day where the professor just talked about all the times porn determined the newest media distribution standards.

2 more...

Technology has more or less flowed with the proliferation of porn. VHS (over Betamax), bluray (over HD-DVD), online payments and other Internet features rose to prominence because pornographic content helped spearhead their adoption.

I will die on the hill that blu-ray won over HD-DVD purely because the PS3 could play blu-ray and the Xbox 360 couldn't play either. Blu-ray players were crazy expensive when the PS3 came out, to the point that the PS3 was the cheapest blu-ray player when it came out.

Probably helped, but it definitely got accepted at a quicker rate because of porn.

Porn industries only chose blu-ray once it was already in the PS3. Out of all the HD-DVD players and blu-ray players on the planet combined at the end of the format war 10 out of 11 were PS3s. Also not to mention that almost everyone backed blu-ray and it was the objectively better format. It held 40% more information and was backed by the biggest media companies. On top of the fact blockbuster went blu-ray.

Honestly it's very tiresome that everyone says that porn did it when you can look at the facts and see that the war was won by blu-ray from the start and that most porn content was available on both formats for a long time, basically guaranteeing that it couldn't have affected the outcome. Like I get that "haha porn funny" but it clearly wasn't the deciding factor, and arguably not a factor at all. Like any cursory look into the history dispels the myth immediately which makes me wonder why everyone feels the need to parrot it as if it's fact.

Cool, thanks for the info. I didn’t do enough research.

I'm not sure that's a valid comparison. Tumblr was overwhelmingly porn, which was its biggest selling point. The only thing dumber was when OnlyFans tried to ban hardcore porn (Fortunately, I guess, they saw the light pretty quick and relented)

While Reddit always had porn, it was never the primary draw.

Fun fact, you can actually tell how the economy is doing based off sex workers tips and income. It's actually more reliable than any other financial marker.

Has that been proven yet? I thought we needed to wait for the outcome of the state of the economy in the next little bit.

That stripper predicted the start of economic decline but until we can see if there's an economic boom after their most recent tweet I don't think we can say that it's a fact yet.

Where do we find this information?

Strip clubs, apparently. The slower the work, the more likely the economy is about to start hurting as it's (apparently) one of the first things people stop doing to save money.

The big Mac scale was made obsolete by the apple scale.. which is superseded by the sex scale… Which actually makes sense, because you get a good dataset from a wide community of users… it’s not limited to people who eat McDonald’s or buy apple products. Inherently, “sex” or sexually focused material is a commodity that interests a broader community.

Where is this porn located so I don't accidentally stumple upon it? Thank you so much.

Oh, my God, that's disgusting! Naked pics online? Where? Where did he post those?

One of those disgusting revenge porn websites, I don't know.

That will get you banned from just about every instance. People are really looking out for each other right now.

Just fyi, that was a joke. It's a reference to a movie, not a big one (I haven't seen it myself) but that line is pretty much used as a meme (albeit an obscure one I guess).

But to your point, that's a nice thing that we can still have some decency and just have "regular" porn without having to deal with the revenge one!

Is that different than stumbling upon it? Cause you're gonna wanna do that.

Let's workshop it.

PQI: Porn Quality Index

Good. At my work there is another term for PQI. I can use this one nicely.

Index of Cumming Quality, ICQ. Then us olds will feel even more old.

In other news, apparently ICQ is still a thing.

Oh good, can't wait for my feed on here to be absolutely slammed with porn bots. We made it, boys.

My porn account’s front page is already full of it. My regular account on a no nsfw instance sees no porn

Seeing as we are both alt porn users, if I disable NSFW on my main, will it show me non porn NSFW? There's a community called uncle jokes and a lot of their posts are marked NSFW. And I don't wanna miss them.

I don't have an alt account yet but my blocklist is about 50+ communities long now, so much porn already when you sort by new on all.

What occurred to me is you could have an account on a no porn instance which doesn't allow access to porn instances, perhaps that may be an answer.

That's interesting. My blocklist is almost exclusively german communities (because I don't speak german) I see zero porn on my feed and I haven't quite figured out why. I know sopuli.xyz doesn't allow porn but I don't get why I'm not seeing it from other instances either.

So the more quality of porn falls down, the more active sites become... Understood.

I think they mean quite the opposite 🤣

As a former sex worker: no, he's right. Reddit porn had only been good before OF and shit.

Whether OP meant it or not, he still said it. Porn is really low quality when it's a bunch of OF bot spam. But... It is more popular.

You aren't wrong with this theory. It's why betamax and hd-dvd lost too

Oh fuck, i completely forgot about betamax and HD-DVD. Back in Uni I wrote a 20 page paper about failed formats. I sent my first draft to my professor for feedback. He called me in and asked "Have you thought about porn?" I bet my facial expression must have been priceless.

That's a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn't record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant

Also licensing out the VHS format to 3rd party manufacturers also played a not insignificant role in beating Betamax. More conpanies making more VHS machines won a lot of the battle.

So it's twice as difficult to hide your porn on betamax then VHS?

Betamax may have been higher quality, but the fact is that consumer TVs of the time couldn't display the difference in quality.

I don't like porn, and I don't want to see it, but I'm glad it's come here since it can bring more people in (like Reddit's porn communities)

Yup. Only reason I still have Reddit is the quality porn. As soon as I can get the same elsewhere, it’s dead to me.

Let’s face it. The quality of porn on Reddit died over a year ago. Porn businesses got involved and sauce vanished. The content has been weak. It was probably all part of the plan in the Reddit IPO scope of things.

I will never pay for porn and the big studios can suck it till I cum on their faces. Porn will always be free forever.

I'd argue with those impediments you did something wrong in cultivating your feed.

I changed nothing in over ten years. The content declined over time because big studios issued DCMA’s or whatever.

Then that’s the problem right there. Of course the subreddits change. People stop posting, others start, moderation changes. You gotta update constantly. I rather follow posters, and channels only discover new posters.

Can you QA PornLemmy?

I’m mostly into the OF girls that post on Reddit, and stuff like GoneWild.

I’m a weirdo that only uses pics & videos with only girls; basically, I’m not usually into watching “not my dick” getting laid.

people complain about onlyfans but i'd take that any day over the fucking top 40 horseshit on mainstream sites

I would agree if Onlyfans creators put even a shred of effort into their content. Most of all it is just them sitting in front of a camera for a few minutes.

They aren't making money by making porn, they are making money by fostering parasocial relationships with people desperate for intimacy.

Most of them anyway. And no, I never subscribed to any, I pirate it. And the noise to content ratio is like 99 to 1.

Where exactly does one pirate OF content? Just curious so, you know, I can stay away from that website or something.

Lemmynsfw my friend. Has tons of growing subs. Check it out. Don't forget redgifs.com too.

The one account I kept active over there is my porn account because I’ve spent a lot of time curating my feed and can’t get that anywhere else. Not to mention, Reddit doesn’t get ad revenue from the porn subs.

People who post or interact with porn also post other stuff.

Tumblr died after they killed off porn, because porn users left the site. That made Tumblr less interesting for people who followed those porn users' non-porn content, which meant that some of them left. Which in turn made it worse for people following that second group, and so on.

The same might happen the other way around. One can only hope.

Tumblr didn't die. It's still around. It's biggest issue is it's shitty search function, not lack of porn (which they did need to remove due to all the cp on there)

Source: Was on Tumblr for nearly a decade.

There are ways to handle illegal porn other than a blanket ban on all porn. Pretty much every site can manage it, including reddit and twitter.

To be fair pornhub had to nuke the majority of their user submitted content because they couldn't evidence that it wasn't illegal. I can understand a company that doesn't actually want to be a porn site just blanket banning.

Wait you guys are getting porn?

Correction, it blurs them. You have to change your browsing to all, not local to see content from federated instances, then they will show up in feed. Also change your sort to hit, not active

Even the furry images are better than usual

First you start with the porn. Then they will cum.

If you watch it, they will cum?

What kinda field of dreams is this? Oh field of creams… ew.

Best porn so far is on lemmynsfw.com

Have you checked out PornLemmy?

i wouldn't leave reddit for years because i knew that the severe lack of niche communities that only reddit has would eventually engender regret and seeing 2 full porn dedicated fediverse instances completely bereft of anything besides vanilla and/or straight porn is the first time i'm feeling that regret.

Where are you finding porn on Lemmy? Asking for a friend.

I find porn absolutely disgusting. It's a vile, evil concoction that only caters to the most animalistic of instincts. If you're like me, avoid lemmynsfw.com at all costs.

There is a whole instance at lemmynsfw.com with a plethora of communities for NSFW materials.

Huh, it says it's federated with my instance but I can't search any communities from it on my instance. Weird.

Do you have nsfw posts turned off in your profile?

Nope, I can search lemmynsfw just fine, it's just pornlemmy.

AFAIK communities are only federated automatically, if someone form your instance is subscribed to the community. Maybe nobody has yet to subscribe to the latter form your instance?

If someone knows better, please enlighten me!

!yiff@Yiffit.net from the sounds of it

I am all for people enjoying whatever their kink is (as long as it isn’t harming others) but that was one of the first communities I had to block. That group is full of prolific posters.

What? Yiffit has a very modest post count.

Your friend may need to go into their profile settings and allow NSFW content. Seems to be off by default. Then your friend will see a range of posts in the all feed.

Lots of communities on the federated lemmynsfw.com server

Your instance may have defederated from the nsfw one then.

When you browse All, you should see the posts.

meh, for me the gonewild crowd peddling their OF accounts and the inevitable thirsty interactions are a sign of a falling porn quality index, really wish something could be done about it. but in one thing you're right, reddit is done.

yes, the lessening of porn quality is more reddit-like.

How do I even get porn? The app I'm using apparently hides all nsfw content and there isn't an option to turn it off. What app should I use instead? Can I only do porn on the browser?

You have to go into account settings and not app settings... Allegedly

Love your username. Hopefully we can make the threadiverse funner than Reddit ever was(If it isn't already).

Y’all have never heard of pornhub? Idk how you people will get off to 5 second clips or photos, it’s not the 90s anymore. And it’s annoying going to some chick’s profile and seeing all these duplicate posts across different subs/communities

and so is the r/hornijail we need to bring back the bonk meme

Yup. Only reason I still have Reddit is the quality porn. As soon as I can get the same elsewhere, it’s dead to me.

Reddit is already showing pinned messages in nsfw posts about using only the official app to browse adult content. Or so I've been told.
