I’m going to use this post answer some frequently asked questions about the transition from LemmyNSFW to FediNSFW and why it happened.

  • What happened, why the move?

    • Details can be found in this post
    • Details about how Lemmynsfw is up again and why it’s an archive now can be found in this post

  • Do I have to make a new account on FediNSFW?

    • Yes.

  • Can I still post on LemmyNSFW?

    • Please don’t, that will make storage costs and data usage go up, eventually I plan to modify the site’s code to fully prevent post creation.

    • Please use FediNSFW instead.

  • How are you going to ensure the exact same thing won’t happen to FediNSFW?

    • I already have other admin candidates I working with/onboarding.
    • I plan to set up the accounts related to the site to be accessible by other admins via a unified admin email address, or via group access.
    • I’m going to create a bitwarden vault with relevant credentials in it for all admins. That way if something happens and I disappear other admins can just login and take over.
    • As far as cost goes, FOR NOW I can fully afford the cost of the server without donations, as far as I can tell at least.
    • Currently the donations are just set to go into my personal account, but I would love to get to the point where we can set something up like or maybe joining the fedihosting foundation and have a pool of donations accessible without me. Not sure how I’m going to do that yet, so if you have suggestions, please let me know.

  • What apps can I use to connect to piefed/FediNSFW?

  • How can I donate to the instance?

    • Donate Here:

      • Ko-fi

      • LibrePay

      • Patreon

    There’s one small bug I’ve encountered:

    If you submit an image post and later edit that post, it’s treated as URL post and then the image is not expanded (or expandable, depending on your settings) in the “list view” of the feed.

    This problem doesn’t occur in the “collage view” of the feed.

    Can you set them all to mod post only?

    Thanks for your work LP!

    My 2c:

    • I wonder if keeping LemmyNSFW up might actually be adding too much of a burden at this point — it seems like it could be driving confusion, inviting scraping requests, and splitting attention from this site
    • Small thing, but NSFW content being visible when signed out might be quietly discouraging some people from registering
    • A little more detail on the admin team would go a long way toward easing my mind

      If you were a mod of a community on lemmynsfw, you can import a backup from lemmynsfw into fedinsfw, then if you go to the @lemmynsfw community, in the sidebar there is an option you can choose in order to transfer the community here with all existing posts. I have to approve it and then you’ll have that community here!

      If you weren’t a mod or you were but you don’t care to transfer the posts, if a community existed there and doesn’t exist here, you can just create a community you want.

      If you weren’t a mod of a community, and you see that a community you want to create doesn’t exist here but did on lemmynsfw, and you want to transfer it and become mod, message me, I think I have the ability to transfer any community.

      I don’t think bulk creating communities is a good thing. A heap of empty communities is like a ghost town. Ideally there should be a post to a community immediately when it is created, setting the tone and making it live.
