The guy who keeps creating new communities and posting them here, not sure if that’s you or part of your admin team or just someone who’s really enthusiastic about porn.
Can we see if there’s a different way of handling that?
Nothing against porn, not even generally against porn here, but the way it’s currently happening it’s filling up like half my feed with posts about new porn communities.
And I get it, you’re trying to get a whole new instance up and running from scratch, you need to rebuild the communities that existed on the old instance etc.
I have no personal experience with admin and moderation, so take my thoughts for what they’re worth, but here they are
I think we may need a temporary moratorium on this community against posts for new NSFW communities except for maybe a once-daily megathread listing all of the new ones created since the last one came out. I don’t want that to last forever, just for the next couple of days or maybe week or two depending on how the rollout goes until things slow down a bit.
Create a separate newNSFWcommunities community, probably over on the new instance, where all of those communities can get their own post. Maybe see if we can get a post about that stickied here.
Less of a suggestion, more about a concern, but seeing one guy creating and modding a bunch of communities kind of gives me some worries about reddit-style powermods, and I remember after a bunch of people migrated here after the reddit API debacle there was a little bit of a problem with people creating communities and not doing much to grow them, just kind of squatting on them or abandoning them, and I’d hate to see that happen with this. I’m hoping maybe that’s one of your admins, or maybe just a single well-intentioned person working on their own creating them as placeholders to eventually turn over to someone else, and that’s valid, but I do think it may be a bit misguided and it may be better to let those communities spring up on their own more organically to be started, run, and populated by people who have an actual interest in those communities, so that may be something to keep an eye on.
He’s also been a little sloppy and didn’t properly mark a couple of his posts as NSFW at first, and that’s not cool. Seems like he’s keeping on top of changing it when that’s pointed out, but that’s still a problem.

Anyway, happy fapping.
