    When you say “this site”, do you mean lemmy in general, or lemmy.ml(your home instance)? Because lemmy in general DOES allow nsfw content, its just that no one (to my current knowledge) had been willing to start+moderate a NSFW instance yet. If you think you are up to it, you are more than welcome to spin up your own instance. Just remember you still have to follow all the laws regarding server hosting where you live(or where the server is hosted maybe? Idk I’m not a lawyer).

      Thanks for the response. Still learning how lemmy works. I just followed a link I was sent thinking it was lemmy in general and not just this instance.

      I think there is a Lemmy NSFW instance, but it’s defederated from most instances

        There is one now, there wasn’t when I wrote that comment like 2 weeks ago lol. The nsfw part of reddit seems to be embracing lemmy pretty quickly now that its up.

      When we say “this site”, we’re obviously talking about your profile page. Why does your profile page not allow porn?

        I’m just going to take your response literally, because I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking or not. when you join a lemmy instance, in OPs case, lemmy.ml, or in your case, lemmy.world. your profile is hosted on said instance, and therefore anything you put on your profile is subject to the rules of whoever owns/moderates that instance. if you don’t like it, move to another instance, or start your own, that’s the benefit of a federated system!

          My comment was a pun on your username in relation to the lack of clarity in OP’s question. You being this@sh.itjust.works… quite plausibly “this page” would refer to your personal profile page. It would of course be ridiculous for anyone to expect to post porn on your profile page, but I committed to the silliness. Sorry it didn’t come through.
