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?
-
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?

Went ahead and threw you around $140 in XMR to get that going. Privacy is a good thing to have.
I appreciate it!
Why can’t new accounts create communities? Seems counterproductive for a migration
it’s only for the first 24 hours after the account is created, it’s to reduce spam
I don’t know where to post this, but it would be amazing if we had a sexting community. I might open one myself, but I don’t know how much moderation I can do.
Just a note of thanks: thanks.
This is hella encouraging. Thank you for picking up the torch and good luck.
Dugmeup here.
Used to mod cumsluts, Asiancumsluts, facial, bukkake, creampie, cumhaters and Cuminmouth (see a theme?)
Happy to take it on if neededYou seem kinky!
Where do I dig you up?
Honestly, major props to you for making the best of a bad situation. The fediverse lost a big and important community in LemmyNSFW, and I can’t imagine anyone handling it better than you did during the transition period. Kudos and thank you!
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.
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
eventually I plan to modify the site’s code to fully prevent post creation
Can you set them all to mod post only?
they already are, but mods are also sometimes still posting lol
I’m a mod. I can’t post last time I checked. Hmm… You can’t disable everything globally there man ?
You can’t globally disable posting, no. At least not without touching code, which I haven’t had time to do.
You could revoke write permissions to the relevant tables but no idea if that breaks other functionalities as well.
You mean globally ? All communities ? Why ?
on lemmynsfw not fedinsfw
I was genuinely upset when lemmynsfw went down. So far I like this piefed instance a lot better! It seems way less glitchy.
I am some of the nerd lurking on NSFW side of federation. I think having something like Shamir Shared Secret for the vault password is better for the doomsdays scenario. So every admin will have 1 share of secret and it needs to have 3-5 admin for example to be able to correctly generate the vault password.
Is it just me or I can’t find any community in fedisnfw? All my communities when I search slow as @lemmynsfw. Do you have an example of a community?
search like this [communityname]@fedinsfw and see if you get better results, or navigate to them directly by typing [your instance url]/c/[communityname]@fedinsfw.app
!gonewild@fedinsfw.app is one community you could try
Did my own NSFW posts survive? I was on Lemmy Users cumming.
All the posts should be in lemmynsfw
Hello again everyone! I don’t hangout around as I used to do, but I appreciate what you are doing and I will try to donate.\ I believe if there where 2 nsfw instances, it would be better for users and content, but no one willing to setup one.
