This may be more of an “out of the loop” thing, but I’m new to this site and I’m noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I’m surprised! Isn’t the adage that porn motivates technological progress?

What’s even more surprising is that the NSFW instance seems brand spanking new.

Is there some code-of-conduct thing which has prevented NSFW community growth? Or is it just a demographic thing where there wasn’t much/any demand until the Reddit exodus?

    From what I know there are a number of legal complications/liabilities to hosting NSFW content. For most people hosting instances it’s just not worth the hassle given that users can still interact with the NSFW communities on the dedicated instance.
