I try searching keywords and nothing comes up. I’m using Jerboa for Lenny.
You need to put the eggplant emoji in front of your search.
🍆 thickhotasianswithtastyrumpsandbeautifuleyes brings up a heap of results for example
I can’t believe you made me search that. All I can do is upvote.
You’re probably best to search for an instance that explicitly says they’re for NSFW communities and create an account there.
SavvyWolf points out here that SFW instances typically try to avoid federation with NSFW instances. Meaning if you create an account on a SFW instance, it would be against the rules to subscribe to a NSFW community elsewhere (with the way federation works, this would cause NSFW posts made elsewhere to start showing up on the SFW instance).
As Korgen pointed out here, if you do find an instance that allows NSFW content, you’ll need to be logged into a Lemmy account to view any of it.
Your best bet is to create a Lemmy account on a NSFW instance specifically for subscribing to NSFW communities. However, it honestly doesn’t seem like there are a lot of NSFW communities right now. I can only assume it’s because the user base is still small and most people don’t want to post smut in a community of like 3 people.
In addition to nobody really wanting to set one up for (non furry) smut, some instances don’t allow you to subscribe to NSFW communities on any instance. I think lemmy.ml is one that doesn’t allow it, but I’m not sure how you would check.
It’s a wise decision by instance admins to have a clean separation between regular and NSFW content IMO.
I think it’s likely that there will be a parallel NSFW fediverse that has little overlap with regular content, and that’s probably for the best.
That depends if your instance has one or have someone already subscribed to one community with content like that.
I’ve found two instances that specialize in nsfw content: lemmynsfw.com (requires login to see nsfw) and pornlemmy.com
If your instance has no problems with that content, subscribing to communities on those instances may help other cultured people such as yourself in the future.
There are none… reason #99 why lemmy is not going to be a good alternative to reddit
