Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.

I know there's been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it's been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.

Here's a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.

For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.

Also, there's another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.

Yeah... Noticed that. I don't like it, but that said won't it be up to the users to see what survives and takes root?

I'd rather they didn't exist, but at the same time the freedom of this kind of platform might be compromised if mods just start shutting down communities as they see fit.

I'm split 50/50 on this.

    I would agree, but all these celeb communities is making lemmynsfw nigh-unusable for me. Right now, they make up well north of 90% of all communities on this instance, meaning the front page is devoid of any other content unless one uses subscribed-only view or blocks them all.

    Being able to one-click block communities from the communities list would help a lot.

    Edit: Nevermind, I'm dumb - Hadn't enabled 'Show NSFW' in settings. Still, I don't see why the celebs can't just all go in /c/celebs.

    I just made a post after discovering all the local communities. If you're interested you can check this post.

    Still, I don’t see why the celebs can’t just all go in /c/celebs.

    Then, the same logic is applied to other duplicate subject communities. Age, pussy, hentai, pornstar, asian, bdsm, tits, dick, cosplay, cum, femdom, freeuse, girls, hair, indian, nsfw, onlyfans, porn, sexy, sissy, tiktok, etc. All this subject has multiple communities not just one.

    I'm sure as lemmy's grows also this instance (this instance barely one month, btw) we will have new features to take care of all of this and create users' the best experience. The fact maybe I started early and they growing/active fast, they will appear first when you explore communities.

    I hope sorting communities will be available soon. I need that too

    Yeah, that's fair. I don't have a problem with specialized communities, and I agree that better filtering tools is the way to go.

    Until those tools are available though, perhaps you could slow down a little on opening new communities? Take a look at the front page in logged out mode and you'll see what I mean.

    Because a guest only sees SFW stuff. Mostly dominated by us that post Celebrities and do not necessarily mark communities as NSFW. Discovering local communities is now sorted by active users. If a lot of non-celebrities posters actively post/comment and their communities will get higher spots. Btw, it's only a few of us who post celebrities, I can say with all these communities I've only moderated approximately 10-15 posts/day. Maybe less, if me or @SushiMage@lemmynsfw.com doesn't contribute
