There are issues that have been on my mind for a few days, and I wanted to talk about them with you.

Downvotes

As you may notice, downvotes have been completely off for the last few days. I did this because I couldn’t resist the pressure of some friends :/ I still don’t know what to do about this. The majority of members probably want it to be completely open. As mods, posters and admins; some think it should be closed, some think it should be restricted (I guess).

I guess there is no solution that makes everyone happy. I realized I don’t have admin skills in stressful situations, I’m a fucking stupid lol :D I miss @gabe so much.

lemmyposter212 suggested “fuzzy votes” or something that can work for us too. I think I’ll just ghost this issue for a while.

Donations

As you know, all our donation accounts have been closed. Since it was my first time opening a site in the NSFW area, I had no experience. I reviewed some adult donation sites but most of them were shady. Honestly I couldn’t trust them.

There are only coins now. But I guess most people don’t want to deal with coins. It is because I didn’t get any donations about 4 months now :D Those sent from Github Sponsor or Patreon were also returned to donators as well. I received $200-ish donations so far.

We are currently the 2nd largest instance in Lemmy. After lemmy.world, we’re bigger than lemmy.ml and lemm.ee! I don’t think it will work this way anymore. On an annual basis, I need to spend a month’s salary for Lemmy NSFW.

Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

    Excuse my (possible) naitivety; but where are specific subgroups within this server? So can’t folks post specific content to those subgroups?

    If you’re a dude posting your dick, post it to “dicks@lemmynsfw”

    Or if you are posting your pussy, same thing, put it on “pussy@lemmynsfw”

    It seems to me that if people are doing that, then when people subscribe to a subgroups, they will end up seeing what they want to see.

    Or heck, create a subgroup “dicks&pussy@lemmynsfw”

    Just trying to think about how to create a situation where upvotes / down votes are less critical to users.
