Because of the nature of federation posts and comments on LemmyNSFW communities will live on basically forever. However the photos and videos will likely be lost. Some were links to external media and will stick around, some may be cached. But most photos and videos that were uploaded directly to the instance will break when the server fully goes down.

For example: [NSFW, OBVIOUSLY] !boobs@lemmynsfw.com - that link should load fine on your instance. It should look functional just with no new posts. (Note: it's actually possible to post and comment in these communities still, but only people in your instance will see it)

The images are served from links like these: (mild NSFW) https://lemmynsfw.com/pictrs/image/d50379d3-7d64-440c-bcf6-13dbf2b81c1b.webp?format=webp

The fact that the images still load is a somewhat hopeful sign. The server is still running, Lemmy just crashed. There's still time for the head admin to come back, the data still exists. This seems unlikely though as the other admin says they haven't heard from them since October.

So there's a small window to archive this stuff, if you're interested. Between now and whenever the media server crashes or gets shut off for non-payment.

I do miss the amateur content, ngl - people often say to just go to porn sites, and I get it, but there is a reason tumblr, reddit, etc etc always develop a nsfw underbelly and if the fediverse could crack that nut (heh) it would be great imho; although, the more I think about it, OF has killed off the vast majority of ppl just doing it for fun.

As someone who's done it for fun and dated people who've done it for money. Yeah I stick to amateurs for a reason. It's great to pay sex workers, but amateurs have a certain vibe. It's one where I know you're having fun because that's the only reason you're doing this

Yup couldn't agree more. I think that's also why certain big name stars get really popular, they are freaks and they are genuinely loving what they are doing - that comes across the screen, no matter how good of an actress/actor you are... also another reason why there are niches for couples, as that intimacy is hard to fake.

With Instragram as the “creator front page.” Patreon too, on the digital art side.

It’s so weird how OF gets to pretend it isn’t a porn site, and somehow get along with banks that would normally turn their nose up to a literal porn site.

Don't forget the day OnlyFans announced it was going to go clean. That was a long week or so before they walked that back.

It is also interesting to notice the OF actually isn't all adult content.

[–] Noja@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

They ban a shitton of kinks on OF, you can't even piss on there. It's incredibly censored because of the payment processors.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Makes more sense once you realize who owns OF.

Leonid Radvinsky. Never heard of him. Why does that explain it?

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 14 hours ago

I think he's referencing that not just OnlyFans, but also PornHub, and propably many others, are zionist owned entities. I'm pro porn, so I don't mind, but there are a lot of people who try to distance themselves from porn for that reason alone. Rabbi Shmule sells sex toys with his daughter, that's a bit much for me, but to each their own.

...get along with banks that would normally turn their nose up to a literal porn site..

Ohhhh, banks and big corporations have quietly had their fingers in Adult Entertainment for decades.

One of my favorite gay porn actors - who was also a phenomenally proportioned model, which was how I first discovered him - gave many interviews while he was in the business and he often stated that the public would be surprised by who the backers and investors in a lot of the studios and sites really were. Big business and finance.

It is weird, completely agree, and I think finding that loophole is how they won (obv they were not the fist site promoting cam girls)

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

My conspiracy theory is they have so much dirt on the finance world that it gives them leverage.

What if there were to be a “data breach” of what they’ve been subscribe too…
