Pornlemmy.com

There’s also yiffit (.net I think?) and some .uk instance, like lemmef.uk or something

No, way to tag nsfw that’s not porn.

Can we have the exact opposite?

These have been a few but I can’t find them in my blocklist, so maybe they have died.

They don’t have to subscribe, but somebody has to have searched specifically for that community, so kinda yes.

People here promote scripts and bots so that an instance gets automatically subbed to new communities - which ok, but then which small instances really want to mirror the whole Fediverse? Most will run out of hard drive space, and we’re back at square one.

I don’t get it why you’re downvoted. It’s 100% true. I’m here to discover new things, not to be in an echo chamber of my 5 subscribed comms.

You may need to search for the community first for your instance to know about it. That hampers discovery a lot imo.

I keep saying that the US needs to have its own big instance (or several) to host all those communities about US cities and sports teams that nobody else needs to care about, as well as potentially a good chunk of users and to exist as a large server alternative to lw.

One problem I foresee with smaller instances is discovery. As we know, if someone creates a new community somewhere else, your instance will onlyrecognise it once someone searches for it.

On a large instance like lemmy.world, there’s a good chance that someone else did, and you can stumble upon it by browsing /all. On a smaller instance this may not happen unless it’s set up to discover and thus mirror every community everywhere.

I wonder how donations for nsfw instances are going

Fediverse also makes it potentially easier to scan for this stuff. You can just connect a new server to the network and if the material is on federated servers, then you can find it (probably). While if it’s some private forum or even the dark web, I assume it’s a lot more difficult.

The other thing is, most regular servers defederate from suspicious stuff already. Like pretty much nobody federates with that one shota instance, and they only serve drawm stuff (AFAIK). So I don’t know if you can even say servers like that are a part of the Fediverse in the first place.

To me it sounds like axe.

“Yep, brilliant. Axe it.”

Is that why I’ve seen more people today wanting to bitch about politics in completely random threads?

I admit I skimmed it at first, because even for sighted people text might be too long. As I mentioned, trimming is a useful thing (and I don’t mean it snarky, even if it may seem that way).

However, I had given it a 2nd look and added an edit. Maybe the edit didn’t federate to Mastodon tho, so here it is:

Also, for uses other than vision impairment, I think text should be elsewhere than alt-text. Like just description text or image metadata. Alt-text is for when you can’t see the picture.

(Like on ye olde internet which you might have browsed with images disabled to speed up loading.)

So I do agree that alt-text should stay brief.

Then that’s probably the answer you’re looking for. Who else is gonna give you a better answer?

I also think that makes quite sense. People with regular vision can just glance at a picture for half a second to get the idea of it, and move on. Having to spend a minute on every illustrative pic, no matter how unimportant, sounds more annoying than missing out on an extra layer of information. (Most of the time.)

I used to be a journalist and I’ve learned you can trim a helluva lot of information without really losing much. It’s a generally useful skill since time is limited for all of us.

Looks like a question for !main@rblind.com

I’m not here to do Signal’s marketing for them, especially since I never liked it in the first place (due to the phone number thing). They had a good thing going for being an acceptable alternative, and they fucked it up. Definitely not my problem.

Yea it just prevents one from searching what’s going on, because web results are filled with this.

Guess nobody told youtu.be or the million of services on .to or .it…
