I know Lemmy is about to take off because the porn is quickly moving from drawn henti and furry images to gonewild onlyfan contributors. I call it the QOTP Index (Quality Of The Porn). Reddit is done.
OF models Ruined all the porn subreddits. It went from sources material to some chick having a seizure for 8 seconds hoping you will give her money.
And spamming all the subreddits regardless of how relevant they were with the same shitty advertisement.
Tbh that whole instance should have a rule about 0 self promotion to paywalled and/or abridged content without a link to the full source for free as well. It's really anyone to have any links stifled because he OP is an onlyfans model. If you wanna post here for advertisement, you better put up or shut up.
I can't agree more.
Just remember how quickly Tumblr fold after the banned porn.
Don't ever underestimate the power of horniness in which large part of the internet runs on.
That dead woman called Tumblr is still walking with a healthy strut these days, also soaking up some displaced Redditors. Horny shit is slowly but surely returning to Tumblr's fields, as well.
Tumblr illustrates the problem with porn in general, they didn't shut it down for no reason, they shut it down because the pedos had decided to use it as a dissemination portal for their vile shit, and the structure of Tumblr made it difficult to moderate away, especially at scale. Thus, Apple threatening to pull them from the app store, for good reason. All they could do was go scorched earth on porno.
So that's the issue we're going to have, here, and I'm not sure if the "some guy running an instance for the fuck of it" model is prepared for it.
The key difference with lemmy is, if that one instance is the one disseminating cp, they get defederated, and so removed from the other normal users, and then if the instance doesn't shut down, LEO gets involved. The other normal porn-hosting instances can operate business as usual.
Not quite how it happened.
Yahoo banned porn on Tumblr because Apple found a CSAM image on their platform, banned their app from the App Store, then as a condition for unbanning the Tumblr app, issued them an ultimatum to outright ban pornographic content. I originally thought that Yahoo's justification was an excuse they used because they couldn't be bothered to invest the resources needed to purge illegal content from their platform, but apparently Discord have been hit with similarly puritanical demands from Apple and Google, who basically have a monopoly on what apps go on your smartphone,
Nevertheless, Tumblr's porn exodus is the core reason why Yahoo sold the platform to Automattic for pennies compared to how much they originally acquired Tumblr for. It even sparked a renaissance of lewd artists flocking to Newgrounds - a site that was originally on its knees due to the death of Flash animations and browser gaming.
It's also worth noting that Automattic have since partially dialed-back the ban. Nudity is allowed on Tumblr again, but graphic sexual content isn't. Obviously they did this in direct response to Elon Musk enshittifying Twitter. Another reason I think Tumblr is living on is because it was known for three things: porn, niche fandoms and social justice warriors. Musk has notably burned bridges with any Twitter users who oppose hate speech.
God forbid if Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai find out there's porn on Reddit....
"I'm fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left, and it'd be called 'Bring Back the Porn'"
Do we have a scrubs community yet somewhere?
When I browse "all" on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit's r/all was so much better when nudity wasn't purged from it.
Technology has more or less flowed with the proliferation of porn. VHS (over Betamax), bluray (over HD-DVD), online payments and other Internet features rose to prominence because pornographic content helped spearhead their adoption.
I will die on the hill that blu-ray won over HD-DVD purely because the PS3 could play blu-ray and the Xbox 360 couldn't play either. Blu-ray players were crazy expensive when the PS3 came out, to the point that the PS3 was the cheapest blu-ray player when it came out.
I could've sworn HD-DVD had more porn studios backing it. But it was also the time when professional commercial porn was dying as a business.
Also early home video recording equipment! (The precursors to which were developed by the military.)
Even games. Artists and devs, specially 3d, are constantly improving their skills and tools to make better content. Not solely because of porn, but it helps to rush it. When you want to make it so that a certain viscous fluid or liquid dripping or flowing looks ultra realistic, you work to improve the tech behind its rendering. Then you share it and we get more realistic rendering for other games, for example. I'm trying to remember of a specific case of when a breakthrough for 3d rendering came directly from 3d hentai but I can't find it. What's also funny is that even game consoles from the 70s had porn games already
I came here to laugh, and masturbate
I'm not sure that's a valid comparison. Tumblr was overwhelmingly porn, which was its biggest selling point. The only thing dumber was when OnlyFans tried to ban hardcore porn (Fortunately, I guess, they saw the light pretty quick and relented)
While Reddit always had porn, it was never the primary draw.

Porn is to internet communities what a natural water source is to human settlements.
Just bc it's not a porn app doesn't mean it's not an app for porn
First GW OC poster to post an image of herself (sorry boys) naked holding a can of beans is going to melt this place down faster than KBins backed up queue.
So it's beans now? I've seen a post or 2. Sure fuck it I'm down.
"Dude I've been here since the beans" coming in a few years
I think it started when someone said that Lemmy users would upvote a can of beans.
#knowyourmeme
"Psh, that's nothing! I've been here since the 3-day no poop challenge!"
So I tied a can of Heinz to my belt, as was the style at the time...
Title had better be something about Flicking the Bean'
Oh yeah?! Well I’ve been here since the poop. Betcha can’t top that!
Bean gang
I've been here since the beans.
Hm, I don't know, I've seen a lot of them post pictures of themselves not pooping and no one is upvoting the meme.
I'm struggling not to do it. But I'm old and wrinkly.
I keep referencing a joke one of my friends made years ago. He was joking with a guy saying they should gangbang his girlfriend in a bathtub full of baked beans. Understandably, the guy didn’t get the humor in it and things got pretty heated. It’s been ~20 years and I still bring it up whenever I can.
I gotchu https://sh.itjust.works/post/715364
Where is this porn located so I don't accidentally stumple upon it? Thank you so much.
Lemmy dot nsfw
I think most of it is on lemmynsfw
Is that different than stumbling upon it? Cause you're gonna wanna do that.
This isn't even a shit post, just being objectively aware of reality
This 100%
So, it’s a shit shitpost.
The se7en of shishitposttpost
Fun fact, you can actually tell how the economy is doing based off sex workers tips and income. It's actually more reliable than any other financial marker.
Source?
Sex workers, obviously.
Has that been proven yet? I thought we needed to wait for the outcome of the state of the economy in the next little bit.
That stripper predicted the start of economic decline but until we can see if there's an economic boom after their most recent tweet I don't think we can say that it's a fact yet.
Where do we find this information?
Strip clubs, apparently. The slower the work, the more likely the economy is about to start hurting as it's (apparently) one of the first things people stop doing to save money.
The big Mac scale was made obsolete by the apple scale.. which is superseded by the sex scale… Which actually makes sense, because you get a good dataset from a wide community of users… it’s not limited to people who eat McDonald’s or buy apple products. Inherently, “sex” or sexually focused material is a commodity that interests a broader community.
Can we all vote this as the official measure of a successor of sites like reddit.
The council has spoken!
I second this.
It sounds very scientific
Yup. Only reason I still have Reddit is the quality porn. As soon as I can get the same elsewhere, it’s dead to me.
Let’s face it. The quality of porn on Reddit died over a year ago. Porn businesses got involved and sauce vanished. The content has been weak. It was probably all part of the plan in the Reddit IPO scope of things.
I will never pay for porn and the big studios can suck it till I cum on their faces. Porn will always be free forever.
Can you QA PornLemmy?
I’m mostly into the OF girls that post on Reddit, and stuff like GoneWild.
I’m a weirdo that only uses pics & videos with only girls; basically, I’m not usually into watching “not my dick” getting laid.
Disgusting! How to find these accounts so that I dont accidently subscribe ?
It's pretty easy. Just don't go to lemmynsfw.com. hopefully, we'll get a way to subscribe to block all communities on another instance with a single click at some point to make this easier.
I partially get the reason for hiding NSFW content behind a sign up but at the same because it's not stated anywhere, for a newcomer it looks like the instance may just be without content.
On a completely unrelated point, how can I browse/list all the communities on a separate iinstance from the one I've subscribed to?
Maybe don't go to https://pornlemmy.com it's a silly place.
It seems it's not federated to this instance. pasting !pornlemmy@pornlemmy.com in the search bar doesn't find it.
EDIT: Oh the irony, The Link above works. The search doesn't
It's absolutely disgusting subscribes
I'm subscribing just to report the content for nudity
Yo can someone sauce me the furryporn sub links (asking for my neighbors friends aunts step sister)
Do we still call Lemmy communities "subs"? Anyway also hmu with those links
Best porn so far is on lemmynsfw.com
First you start with the porn. Then they will cum.
If you watch it, they will cum?
What kinda field of dreams is this? Oh field of creams… ew.
Field of Wet Dreams, perhaps?
This is the quality content I cum here for....
I prefer hentai over thots
I miss r/wholesomehentai and r/hentaisource. There were a lot of chill and helpful people there. Been waiting for a anime/hentai instance to pop up in the fediverse
Make it and they'll cum
based
meh, for me the gonewild crowd peddling their OF accounts and the inevitable thirsty interactions are a sign of a falling porn quality index, really wish something could be done about it. but in one thing you're right, reddit is done.
If it's worth the time to advertise to, it has to have value of some sort. Even if the QOTP Index isn't real there definitely is one for advertiser willingness.
Yup. Only reason I still have Reddit is the quality porn. As soon as I can get the same elsewhere, it’s dead to me.
Lemmynsfw my friend. Has tons of growing subs. Check it out. Don't forget redgifs.com too.
Checks to make sure my instance federates with them
Yup, thank you! I thought LemmyNSFW was our single point of failure
Thank you k8nd stranger 🙏.
The one account I kept active over there is my porn account because I’ve spent a lot of time curating my feed and can’t get that anywhere else. Not to mention, Reddit doesn’t get ad revenue from the porn subs.

Pics or it didn't happen
So the more quality of porn falls down, the more active sites become... Understood.
This guy subscribes to OnlyPaws
I think they mean quite the opposite 🤣
I don't think so 😏
As a former sex worker: no, he's right. Reddit porn had only been good before OF and shit.
Whether OP meant it or not, he still said it. Porn is really low quality when it's a bunch of OF bot spam. But... It is more popular.
The higher the QPI the more people.
Based analysis
Wait you guys are getting porn?
Obviously Lemmy.porn duh
Correction, it blurs them. You have to change your browsing to all, not local to see content from federated instances, then they will show up in feed. Also change your sort to hit, not active
The default settings in lemmy hide it.
Let's workshop it.
PQI: Porn Quality Index
Index of Cumming Quality, ICQ. Then us olds will feel even more old.
In other news, apparently ICQ is still a thing.
Uh oh!
Oof, I DO feel old now

Insane Clown Quossy
The Porndex?
Is the final stage r/amiugly ?
it’s r/truerateme
::shudders::
OC boobies leading the way
and so is the r/hornijail we need to bring back the bonk meme
Even the furry images are better than usual
Honestly I started looking for other websites that had similar shit to my preferred porn subreddits. It'd be much easier to completely cut reddit off if all the porn was here XD
Y’all have never heard of pornhub? Idk how you people will get off to 5 second clips or photos, it’s not the 90s anymore. And it’s annoying going to some chick’s profile and seeing all these duplicate posts across different subs/communities
I have NSFW enabled and don't get any porn. How, why?
You aren't wrong with this theory. It's why betamax and hd-dvd lost too
That's a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn't record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant
So it's twice as difficult to hide your porn on betamax then VHS?
I was one of the five people who owned the HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360 🫡
Classic Tropic Thunder scene.
Oh fuck, i completely forgot about betamax and HD-DVD. Back in Uni I wrote a 20 page paper about failed formats. I sent my first draft to my professor for feedback. He called me in and asked "Have you thought about porn?" I bet my facial expression must have been priceless.
Oh good, can't wait for my feed on here to be absolutely slammed with porn bots. We made it, boys.
My porn account’s front page is already full of it. My regular account on a no nsfw instance sees no porn
You can disable NSFW post's from showing up entirely.
People actually liked Hentai? I just can't shake the feeling that it was drawn by some rotund gentleman with Cheeto stained fingers.
In my experience it's often goth girls
Well, in its defense, much porn is shot (and/or co-acted) by old, overweight golden-agers.
Lawl the even up/down root ratio on this comment. Hide yo kids hide yo octopus they drawing everybody up in here

I don't like porn, and I don't want to see it, but I'm glad it's come here since it can bring more people in (like Reddit's porn communities)
We hit the big time, here we goooooooo
yes, the lessening of porn quality is more reddit-like.
Reddit is already showing pinned messages in nsfw posts about using only the official app to browse adult content. Or so I've been told.
How do I even get porn? The app I'm using apparently hides all nsfw content and there isn't an option to turn it off. What app should I use instead? Can I only do porn in the browser?
People who post or interact with porn also post other stuff.
Tumblr died after they killed off porn, because porn users left the site. That made Tumblr less interesting for people who followed those porn users' non-porn content, which meant that some of them left. Which in turn made it worse for people following that second group, and so on.
The same might happen the other way around. One can only hope.
Tumblr didn't die. It's still around. It's biggest issue is it's shitty search function, not lack of porn (which they did need to remove due to all the cp on there)
Source: Was on Tumblr for nearly a decade.
people complain about onlyfans but i'd take that any day over the fucking top 40 horseshit on mainstream sites
I would agree if Onlyfans creators put even a shred of effort into their content. Most of all it is just them sitting in front of a camera for a few minutes.
They aren't making money by making porn, they are making money by fostering parasocial relationships with people desperate for intimacy.
Most of them anyway. And no, I never subscribed to any, I pirate it. And the noise to content ratio is like 99 to 1.
Where exactly does one pirate OF content? Just curious so, you know, I can stay away from that website or something.
@Redditwasfun Always knew porn would win :3
I guess this is how you can tell your thing is gonna be a thing. Once the porn people find it, literally loads of people are gonna find your place.
I see what you did there
I've found my people ❤️
The Porndex?
I took too long waxing?
can confirm. i've been seeing a lot of boobies
and coozes, seen a lot of those lately too

Where are you finding porn on Lemmy? Asking for a friend.
There is a whole instance at lemmynsfw.com with a plethora of communities for NSFW materials.
Just look at all new
!yiff@Yiffit.net from the sounds of it
Lots of communities on the federated lemmynsfw.com server
I find porn absolutely disgusting. It's a vile, evil concoction that only caters to the most animalistic of instincts. If you're like me, avoid lemmynsfw.com at all costs.
The Porndex?
It's science.
Love your username. Hopefully we can make the threadiverse funner than Reddit ever was(If it isn't already).
Really? Cause I can't find any porn on Lemmy
How do I even get porn? The app I'm using apparently hides all nsfw content and there isn't an option to turn it off. What app should I use instead? Can I only do porn on the browser?
You have to go into account settings and not app settings... Allegedly
lemmynsfw is it's own federated branch.
That's disgusting. Where?
I’m so using QOTP in a sentence today.
Not to be confused with QWOP.
Ha! Had to look that up, and ended up down a rabbit hole…!
At least it’s improving.

Jerboa has the porn
Its not over until the fat lady sings there are Snitties.
How do we ban this asshole?
Sad but accurate index.
Don't watch porn guys. It's toxic and kinda pathetic (you're literally getting off to other men having sex with girls while you play with yourself).
Toxic and Pathetic? Keep your judgments. I think it's healthy and beautiful.
Weird and pathetic to even have an opinion about how other people gratify themselves. Keep your mind in your own gutter you perv.
That's quite an assumption because my wife and I enjoy adult content together.
Can't wait for the onlyfans accounts that spam the same vanilla nsfw image into 50 different communities at once. /s
Can't forget the same dumb title that's usually something like "Do older guys even like 18 year old?"
Obviously girl, that's why we're all here and you have 400k karma with a month old account
"Feeling down cause someone said my boobs aren't that great, what do you guys think?"
what's karma?
Also the classic "my boyfriend said my boobs were too big."
No he didn't. Literally no one ever said that.
The reality: My girlfriend said my moobs are too big.
I'm guessing those are automated posts with titles from a list
Actually I might.
So the typical E-whoring scheme and people are fine with it? LOL
That’s how you know you’ve made it 🥲
