Ok, so there is real potential for PF to become known for it’s porn. That was not the plan
For a while, Tesseract was the most used frontend for lemmynsfw so, lol, I felt that.
Better convert it to piefed then!
The dress code at Piefed now:

I’m confused, what were you dudes wearing before now?
Are you an australian trans woman?
480 is that that many but at its peak lemmynsfw had more users than PieFed.social does now. Let’s see what next week brings.
Hey it’s the porn app person!
That means it’s gonna win the format wars
We have porn?
Well Rimu better get to implementing nsfw features! He’s gotta appeal to his base.

Piefed already has tags. So mission failed successfully?
Does Piefed have a NSFW tag like Lemmy does?
Other than that, what “nsfw features” would a platform like Piefed need that it wouldn’t need for SFW content? Serious question, I don’t know. (In fact, my instance blocks lemmynsfw.)
It’s a little known fact that we actually previously had an NSFW piefed instance for a week or two to do testing. Some of the features that were included to help instances like that were the disclaimer screen that comes up before any content page loads (this site has NSFW content…etc.). Also, I know some code was added to make some common NSFW hosting sites work better (as an example, there is some special code to deal with redgifs embeds).
The last thing that comes to mind is to allow admins to specify countries for which NSFW content is blocked (based on IP address). This was added in response to admins wanting to deal with content restrictions like the UK have and are sadly becoming more common across the globe.
There is an environment variable, ‘CONTENT_WARNING’, which if set, changes quite a few things. For starters, it displays that content warning. But also:
- New accounts have ‘show nsfw’ ENABLED rather than disabled.
- When browsing anonymously, nsfw content is shown rather than hidden.
- When creating a new community the ‘publicize on newcommunities@lemmy.world’ checkbox is NOT ticked (that’s new, sorry about earlier folks)
- NSFW communities are listed in the main communities list even when browsing it anonymously.
Also when making that I came up with this - https://piefed.social/post/1124924
i don’t know how to really say this but 480 users a month is less users than dead internet forums, I don’t know if counting numbers this tiny is a productive use of ones time or something to even care about
it’s not as dead as it sounds because it’s not isolated. If it was its own forum, sure, but with federation it’s just another node in the network
It’s only a few days old bud
Plus users from any Lemmy or Piefed instance can post to it…
yes im saying making these sorts of posts is sad not something to cheer about
Oh poopydoop, don’t be a poopo-loopo! Let’s rejoice!
rejoice in a dead platform? hurray! 🥳
i’ll break out the fairy bread and fanta!
