There's no alternative, right? Got tired of the hate in reddit for NSFW creators and I'm looking for "warmer" places
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?nsfw=true
I think there was at one point an instance called 'lemmyporn' or similar but they might have quit to let lemmynsfw take the role. Otherwise there are a few comms on general purpose instances.
For the last one the admin went rogue and tried to sell it, no deal came so it died. Im very sure I'm misremembering some parts of the story but that is the general gist of what happended.
You mean lemmynsfw?
The admin didn't want to sell it, they ASKED for someone to take over cause it was too much work and risk for less than zero money.
Nono pornlemmy , that happened like 2 years ago i
Not a single instance like lemmynsfw, but there are NSFW-communities elsewhere. They're mostly dormant, as lemmynsfw has filled that role up until recently, but I don't see a problem with reviving alternatives.
Seems pretty short sighted to not have someone as your backup while you're gone.
Hi Chris !
I remember you!
these are some to get you started
That escalated quickly!
From what I have gathered, is that Lemmy NSFW is having techinical issues on their end. The main issue is that Lemmy NSFW only has 2 admins. The one admin who was the necessary information to fix the issue has been AWOL since October 2025. No idea what the other admin is doing about everything.
The admin who has access to the host is gone, and the server is offline so the other admin can't do anything.
It's not just you, I've seen multiple reports on the platform from people that are unable to reach it. Nobody seems quite sure whether it's permanent or temporary.
The only one who can know that dropped off the earth.
My guess is he was arrested.
