Back when I was on Reddit, I was of course subscribed to a lot of the porn subs, but what really made the experience special for me were all the text-based NSFW communities — the R4Rs, the RAOs, the gonewildstories/slutty confessions/etc.

There seem to be a fair number of people who have come over to Lemmy from Reddit but these sorts of communities just haven’t taken off. This instance has dirty chat and r4r communities but they’re sparsely populated, and the latest content is 3 or 4 months old. The main source of gonewildstories is the bot that reposts from Reddit.

Do people here just not like to engage with other users over text like this? Or is there a secret trove of filthy communities that I just don’t know about? More and more I’m starting to regret nuking my porn Reddit account and wondering about going back.

    We’re mostly nerds here. We need more users of all backgrounds before we get any of what you’re talking about going. Use both and mention Lemmy to help the growth. You’re free to create communities like you mentioned on my instance.

      I appreciate the invitation but I don’t have the time to effectively mod a community. Yes, I’m a free rider, lol.

      I am starting to think that the best bet is to keep my SFW Lemmy account but go back to Reddit for my NSFW needs. It’s not like they can monetize me on there anyway.
