I honestly think one of the reasons I love Lemmy is because the people that come here are the people mentally active enough to think outside of the cages mainstream social media builds for us.
Let’s also be honest, people just don’t know about Lemmy at all. There are a few communities here where I am sure that the tech literacy is average, but they do fine just because someone posted a detailed guide on how to setup their account, install an app and they’re set.
Lemmy is a good enough Reddit replacement, but it just isn’t known enough.
Another thing that might make it hard for people to stay even if they show up? If you have a lemmy.world account and view all posts from federated instances, the amount of furry lewds, giant futa horsecock, and pedo anime girl posts is astronomical. I think my instance blocking list is like 60+ lines long. Maybe we should post a guide for “how to unclutter your feed of yiff and 10 year old anime girls in suggestive poses”
I was kind of being sarcastic, because most people aren’t going to dredge through the slime to make their feed habitable, they’re just going to go right back out the door.

Never seen those myself, but I disable NSFW.
Could be a good idea, probably something to post on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

Instance admin can always hide community. See this post: https://programming.dev/post/24973600
At some point they probably have to establish a list of communities that should be hidden
On world, have NSFW enabled and Im not seeing this?
I seek out NSFW and don’t see it in any kind of browsing either except on lemmynsfw
I don’t know, maybe it’s been cracked down on, and I never noticed because I blocked so many instances and communities over the past year.
