I guess my issue is that other than ideological reasons (reddit alternatives are good) there’s nothing that NSFW Lemmy does better than anywhere else i go.
My niches/kinks/preferences aren’t represented or are actively denigrated in the bigger NSFW communities and the smaller more niche ones don’t have the activity or quantity of posts to make this place a “must visit” or introduce me to things i haven’t seen before
Instead of becomes an app i only remember to check every week or two, compared to something like Mastodon, which i use daily.
then when i try to submit something to a community the Sync app gives me an “this image cannot be uploaded” error with no further explanation and i decide that posting the 5-10 images i found actually isn’t worthwhile after all.
I’m really glad this place exists but I’m struggling to participate in it
Oh I’m sorry, i meant specifically “photos and illustrations of the kinds of women i specifically like tend to get downvoted here on NSFW Lemmy and the niche communities aren’t active enough”
The corresponding Reddit subreddits are active enough that i don’t have have to visit any general purpose subreddits.
IRL I’m happily married. Spouse and i are pretty open minded about porn/hentai/NSFW
Ah ok it was just a suggestion. Because on fet pretty much anything goes, no kinkshaming :) But yes Reddit is still pretty good for some niches.
It’s indeed sad that it happens here sometimes though it’s more people downvoting in the hope to see less of the content in their feeds. I don’t think that actually works because the amount of content here is so low that you get to see everything anyway unless you block the sub communities.
I would recommend uploading to carbox or redgifs and pasting the link into the post, even on the subs on reddit mod that’s what I tell people. The site image hosting solutions on both lemmy and reddit aren’t great.
I personally like catbox because you don’t have to make an account.
Additionally, growth takes time, some of the kinks with the platform will be slowly worked out, and more people will come, our usersbase since the initial dropoff of users has slowly being going up for the most part.
About a decade ago, Reddit was also a site you checked every week or so. I think our growth is already faster than those old days of Reddit, and it may take a year or two for things like better more users, better mod tools, better post algorithms, and more stability in apps to show up, but for a social media network that isn’t for profit, lemmy us doing very well and will continue to get better and better and thrive more and more
It’s porn. Keep is simple. More is more. Let’s the place evolve into niches rather than force it and control it at the get go. It’s like worrying about macros when there is a famine.

Yup. Not enough content. Too many debates.
Also nothing unquie.
