The porn would be on it’s own instance not federated with the common Lemmy servers. So it wouldn’t show up in /all.
Those who want porn would have to actively seek it out by connecting to those instances. More over, if one instance starts allowing unacceptable material, the other instances can blacklist it.
Would be even better if the porn instances started federating, two horny instances federating might make another instance and then that’s how children are made.
So far Reddit seems to have avoided getting into a lot of trouble by not really hosting images itself much (this is changing, as is imgur’s policies) and by being mostly NOT for it so it doesn’t get noticed. Making an instance for the purpose invites a ton of scrutiny and liability that few people want to deal with. That said nothing’s stopping anyone from spinning up their own instance.
Mastodon was for a while flooded by p0rn and hentai with some very edgy content. That was ridiculous. It was a reason why I left mastodon in the beginning.
My salutations to @nutomic and others mods, that’s a crazy idea to provide an open access platform.
Seems completely unnecessary since there are many porn sites online already. Also it would take quite a lot of server resources since it’s all images and video.
The point of Reddit, and now Lemmy by extension, is a sort of link aggregator + comments. As with all content: sure, general sites all exist for that porn, but sometimes if you want more specific categories it’s a lot easier to have community collected content that is sorted.
If someone wishes to spin up an instance for it, so be it. You are welcome to ignore it and not federate with it. That’s the point of the fediverse.
The question isn’t “do we want Reddit users who want porn here?”, but rather “do we want Reddit users who see no value in a space unless it’s full of porn?”.
There should absolute be spaces for sex workers, both online and in meatspace, but maybe the produce aisle still has value even if it’s not surrounded by strippers. And maybe. People want to buy produce sometimes without seeing said strippers.
Now, whether there should be instances that are all sex workers or not is a different, and complicated, question. Sex work is often criminalized, and even the legal forms of it are highly scrutinized. Putting them all in a confined space makes it really easy for authorities who are looking to send a message to unilaterally shut down their infrastructure. We’ve seen it on the Fediverse before. They need some kind of smoke screen in order to be protected from the Delores Umbridges of the world. But that doesn’t mean people who are unable or unwilling to handle the added stress and responsibility needtl to be the ones doing the screening.
I don’t use reddit for p0rn, but the fact is that a lot of reddit users won’t consider lemmy an option unless there’s porn.
Actually, I think it’s important to have one also because it’s better to compartmentalize that shit on its own dedicated instance, anyway.
PSA: WE NEED A PORN INSTANCE. Any takers?
Do you really want more reddit porn users?
The porn would be on it’s own instance not federated with the common Lemmy servers. So it wouldn’t show up in /all.

edit: I was wrong. Lemmynsfw is indeed federated.
Or the dev should make a feature so porn subs don’t show up in /all by default, and that you’ll have to opt-in.
Would be even better if the porn instances started federating, two horny instances federating might make another instance and then that’s how children are made.
Why write it as p0rn, if there’s no censorship in here?

If I had the means, I’d honestly try to run an instance on Tor or something.
And then probably shut it down after a week because how do you deal with all the spam?
Any takers at all? look around

Instance rules could mandate media to be hosted externally. Imgur is out of the question but plenty other services exist.
