Why or why not? If yes, do you have any suggestions on how to achieve that?

LemmyNSFW overall, or this Ask community? I think the overall NSFW is growing, there’s a lot of stuff I don’t want to see, and a lot of ads, for lack of a better word, just people promoting their onlyfans. I don’t mind that but often wish we had a big enough userbase for the nonsexual, not commercial nudes stuff. Like in reddit there was naked progress, normal nudes, I loved those threads.
so much for gaining more members - just got a message that the mod is removing all posts that are not text posts. But the mod sets the parameters and you need to follow them or set up your own group.
Anyone interested in a sex group described in a previous comment. It would be text questions, sex stories, gifs, and pics. Anyone interested PM me. We would need at least 10 messages saying that they are interested and at least one willing to be a mod. I will set it up if we have enough interest.
Most NSFW communities are just advertising fronts for OnlyFans, so what’s the point?
They’re almost never worth looking at.
LemmyNSFW also seems to really like their cartoon porn. There was A LOT of cartoon furry porn. Not only is it weird, it’s weird there was so much of it.
I have an additional suggestion. Go to communities and look at the ranked list based not on subscribers but daily visits. Most of it is the usual political stuff that is so boring. One of the biggest communities is “shitposts”. That’s a community of just fun stuff. No, or little political bullshit. So for this group I would also feature funny memes relating to sex.
Bring back downvotes
Its pretty sad to have an alt dedicated just to repeating this
Bring back downvotes --> posters stop posting --> people stop coming because there’s no new content --> lemmynsfw dies.
Yeah feeling like I’m being nanny-ed on the NSFW instance is weird, and imo makes this instance seem inherently unserious.

Dongers out to save the fediverse
No. But I’ve started to block that content anyway so have at it I guess.
You know, you could just block the instance
Oh my lord, yes please.
After a year and then some of posting the communities do not have posting participation
I’m thinking I need to create a bot that does my job on this site.
The thought of automating it has crossed my mind. The problem is that deciding the right community and title requires more art than people might think.
Maybe I am too used to reddit, but i thought there were already post on lemmynsfw from bots.
Personally I don’t store content locally, so it is difficult to contribute.
Appreciate your effort anyhow!
I just don’t think there’s enough active userbase for that, and it really isn’t something you can fix on the fly. The ratio of Like/Upvote > Share > Comment > Post is always an issue for online social spaces, its just that a few website got big enough to make it seem like its easy to get people to contribute.
The architecture of Lemmy is also a little bothersome at times, especially when it comes to displaying media and making gallery posts.
Probably one thing I’d like for LemmyNSFW to have is a Admin owned community for people to share communities and talk about merging, managing, sharing, etc. Something like https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities but for our side of the pond, and now just for new but also talking about present communities and what can be done for them.
Lemmy’s problem is so many groups just don’t have enough regulars that look, maybe post, or maybe comment. You go back every few days you seen almost nothing new and you just stop going. I’ve noticed that a group will regain some life only because a new user will start posting interesting stuff. But then they get board and also move on.

Suggestions - turn this group into a combination of sex questions, sex gifs and pictures, sex stories. It could be made into THE group for sex stuff on Lemmy.
-
Offer frequent group members the ability to be mods here. Many frequent users got board and left. A person is more likely to stick around if they are a mod and dedicated to the growth of a group

Yes, more is better. I’d love to especially see more OC
Well, I block any of the pic/vid based communities because that’s just not my thing.
But the key to any activity is an active posting culture.
Porn and porn-ish communities have to have either self posters that want to be seen, or someone “feeding” external content via link or gif, same as on reddit. In a lot of cases, even there, you’d have one poster making the sub have content, often for their own use, and users were passive. Trying to “boost” activity of posting porn related content like that is kinda difficult because you have to be motivated to post, and you can’t really externally generate motivation.
Text based communities like this one, you just need to hit a degree of awareness, so that even users that don’t think of the instance as somewhere you’d go for discussion will think of specific communities and use them instead of a general purpose instance’s communities. That does take “seeding” questions for this specific community, or otherwise making posts for other types of text based nsfw content.
Now, as far as my personal wants regarding activity levels, I think the instance is doing fine on average. It’s not unusual to see a new community of image posts pop up here and there that I’ll then block. And it’s fairly common that this community has a post often enough that I think of it as being one of the more active communities on the instance. Which means I don’t have a want regarding activity.
