The NSFW community (lemmyNSFW.com) has exploded due to the blackout.

Praise porn-Jesus, horny be his name.

NSFW always seems to push technology forward, be it video streaming, or VR, or now federated link aggreagators.

Niche communities reign for now! I'll wait to create an alt account until the influx dies down, but this is, uh ... handy to know.

We’re trying to expand it to cover more topics currently

Are we blocked from seeing NSFW communities on Beehaw? (Not an issue, I would create an alt for that anyway. Just curious)

[–] Cipher@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Check your profile settings. There's a nsfw setting in there that might be blocking you

I have an account on lemmy.world and can see more NSFW communities while browsing all communities. IDK if that's just a bi-product of them being more active or something beehaw does on their end and it just hasn't caught up with the influx yet, but either way it's fine with me. Beehaw ain't about porn, I'm perfectly fine having a separate account somewhere that is more about it.

I believe (could be wrong) that they just are against hosting NSFW communities on beehaw. You should still be able to view things from other instances if NSFW is enabled in your account settings.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 6 points 1 year ago

I think so. I am not sure but I remember reading somewhere that beehaw blocked nsfw. There is a stickied SFW post on lemmyNSFW that is for linking NSFW communities to those who wouldn’t be able to see them.

I can see it on mobile with jerboa so I don't think so
