There should be a kind of “sorting hat” personality test to attract the interest of prospective Lemmy joiners. People who love solarpunk stuff, for example, would easily find their home in slrpnk.net. Set a link to it on sites like join-lemmy.org to make the fediverse more approachable to casuals.

    I completely agree on principal.

    But also think that the rule of Lemmy is that all algorithms end at porn.

    But it’s our porn and has unique surroundings of anime, politics, and Dutch.

      Huh? I don’t see any porn, regardless of what sort I choose. Ah, that’s because there’s a checkbox in your settings to let you choose whether to see NSFW posts or not. I guess turning that off works really well.

        Turning it on doesn’t work well either. I have enabled NSFW and never see any of it. Yes, I have subbed to everything on lemmnsfw, and none of it shows up in any feed

      I don’t rlly wanna see straight porn (no hate, just not my thing xd) and honestly, I was in a pretty good spot. Then someone told me I was scrolling active instead of hot and OH MY- that’s a lot of porn
