    Yes, that’s what happens when users don’t support the platform. With Lemmy, there’s an unspoken convention that admins make their site available to users with the same stability and performance as the big names but without any of the bad parts like tracking or ads, and the users donate to keep it that way. The PornLemmy team has done its part, but out of the 300,000 users only a single digit have shown support, so it is a you reap what you sow situation.

    saying “donations aren’t enough to purchase my time” indicates a whole other motivation that’s inherently counter productive to the platform IMHO.

    I’m sure you have your reasons, but the post is kinda snobby about it.

    Here’s a lightbulb moment: stuff costs money and time, even if it’s on the internet. Whatever you get for free isn’t free - either you pay to get something from a provider, or the provider makes money off you in some way. I don’t want to go the second route, and the 250k visitors have voted with their wallets so the first route is closed. Do you feel in some way entitled to my and PL’s team time and resources? Have you contributed in any way to PL, financially or otherwise, so you can have a little say of its future? Or is this a “Entertain me, peasants” mentality?



  • Is there a reason some communities from federated instances are not available here?

    Yes, they weren’t in line with what I want pornlemmy to represent.

    Can individual communities on another instance by blocked

    Yes, but unfortunately

    is it possible which communities are?

    as far as I know, there is no way for the users to get a list of blocked communities.












  • Hi,

    Those 3 communities, hosted on lemmynsfw.com, have content that doesn’t align with PornLemmy’s ideals/morals/whatever, and therefore they needed to be inaccessible from PornLemmy. There is no way (yet, at least), to forbid a community from appearing on the front page but still be available at /c/community@server. If modding tools will become more powerful in the future and allow this kind of fine tuning, you will get access to all communities everywhere, but until then PornLemmy must act on its own rules. With apologies to you in particular.
