People keep separate accounts for their porn? That just seems to suggest they are embarrassed by their kinks. 😄

    I don't want to see porn all the time. When I want to see porn that's all I want to see.

    I didn't subscribe to any of the subs, rather I created a multi with a collection of the ones I was interested in, and gave it a generic-sounding name. Easy to click on but it never pops up on my home page and doesn't stand out if I'm reading reddit at work. Gives me a nice bit of separation under a single account.

    Honestly I wish lemmy would introduce a feature like multi-reddits. I have a pretty long list of communities here and would love to break them up into groups. That's the only feature of reddit I actually miss.

    My porn account was older than the devolopment of multi-reddits. The blocking, subscribing, and discovery of communities on lemmy is terrible. The average user will flounce before they discover anything they like because they'll get overrun with creepy anime porn and foreign language communities.
