Excuse my ignorance im just curious.
Because we dont want to moderate porn, simple as that. Other instances are free to do this differently.
Because that would end up making a good portion of potential users feel uncomfortable using the site. There is no lack of pornography on the Internet, go look at it elsewhere.
I don’t use reddit for p0rn, but the fact is that a lot of reddit users won’t consider lemmy an option unless there’s porn.
Actually, I think it’s important to have one also because it’s better to compartmentalize that shit on its own dedicated instance, anyway.
PSA: WE NEED A PORN INSTANCE. Any takers?
Do you really want more reddit porn users?
The porn would be on it’s own instance not federated with the common Lemmy servers. So it wouldn’t show up in /all.
Those who want porn would have to actively seek it out by connecting to those instances. More over, if one instance starts allowing unacceptable material, the other instances can blacklist it.
edit: I was wrong. Lemmynsfw is indeed federated.
