    Yes, that’s what happens when users don’t support the platform. With Lemmy, there’s an unspoken convention that admins make their site available to users with the same stability and performance as the big names but without any of the bad parts like tracking or ads, and the users donate to keep it that way. The PornLemmy team has done its part, but out of the 300,000 users only a single digit have shown support, so it is a you reap what you sow situation.

    saying “donations aren’t enough to purchase my time” indicates a whole other motivation that’s inherently counter productive to the platform IMHO.

    I’m sure you have your reasons, but the post is kinda snobby about it.

    Here’s a lightbulb moment: stuff costs money and time, even if it’s on the internet. Whatever you get for free isn’t free - either you pay to get something from a provider, or the provider makes money off you in some way. I don’t want to go the second route, and the 250k visitors have voted with their wallets so the first route is closed. Do you feel in some way entitled to my and PL’s team time and resources? Have you contributed in any way to PL, financially or otherwise, so you can have a little say of its future? Or is this a “Entertain me, peasants” mentality?

    Normally I would remind people of my instance, pornlemmy.com, but in the past 3 months we’ve had somewhere between 250k and 300k unique visitors per month, and less than $200 in total donations. So at the moment I’m investing $200 / 3 of time and resources each month, which amounts to less than one hour of work (per month) for me. I am open to selling PornLemmy though, so if anyone wants a site with 300k uniques, ping me.






  • Is there a reason some communities from federated instances are not available here?

    Yes, they weren’t in line with what I want pornlemmy to represent.

    Can individual communities on another instance by blocked

    Yes, but unfortunately

    is it possible which communities are?

    as far as I know, there is no way for the users to get a list of blocked communities.

    The more I do that, the more incentive the straight white computer nerds that run this place will have to make it more fun for me to be here.

    That’s not how it works. We provide a tool, it’s up to you the users how you use it. We don’t owe you anything, you owe us for the time and work put into this site.

    Why aren’t you posting what you like, so that others may follow your lead? Complaining without any action doesn’t usually solve anything, but if you add content you would like to see, other people who like the same kind of content may start posting their own and that’s how you build a community.
