Good attempt to jumpstart ๐.
The description and rules of the comm is always a good place to start revamping once you get a feel.
You might want to consider being gender inclusive too.
Voted in poll.
I think only allowing community members to vote is a reasonable solution. This is similar to political parties and having primaries, so it's not a radical idea.
If one is not invested in a community and not contributing (in whatever ways), just stay quiet and observe on the sidelines.
If one is invested, then by all means take the time to subscribe and truly help build a community with your engagement (even if just by silent voting).
I'm confident there will be some known trolls and haters who simply like to downvote for the fun of it and they will spitefully subscribe to every imaginable community to demonstrate their "right to downvote". ๐ Bless them...
As always, thank you again for standing this instance up
from a quick glance, your community seems to be doing well. Please don't give up. Try cross posting to other communities also to get more visibility for your posts/comm
I get shot down every time I try and branch out.
Can you elaborate on this particular comment?
Please include name of model (Brooke) in title. I know its in the image, but helps us quickly distinguish posts.
To [email protected] also?
Update: thanks! ๐
Please keep reading all the way down to the bottom of the sidebar WRT titling...
Yeah, I wondered about leaving that in. TBH, I was searching various dictionary references for "adorable" to see if my understanding matches the common usage, and childlike just happened to be one of the definitions. I will remove.
[Update]: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/adorable is where the initial reference came from as part of cut/paste
I would like this to be all genders inclusive, and we can use tags as necessary.
[Addition] I strongly feel that we can all find beauty and appreciate the human body in all forms. I'm all ok with simply scrolling past posts that I don't find match my preferences.
Let's hear more opinions. Thanks much for your input .
Very well said. Talented OC creators (including sellers) are always welcomed at communities I moderate here (and on Reddit).
And I gladly nuke spam (very well defined by @[email protected] in comment ) and spammers (OC or not). Hoping we get better moderation tools and support soon here on Lemmy
This is a really great question. From over my 5+ years experience modding on Reddit, we generally know which porn studios don't DMCA claim (most implicitly do allow some sharing of their content (single images, small galleries, vid clips) as long as studio logo/copyright watermarks are preserved, not cropped out) vs which ones do blanket broad copyright claims.
for example, I have not heard of MetArt network do any claims vs I think we all know about Mindgeeks-owned brands like Brazzers
Of course, the past is not a predictor for the future.
Based on what evidence?
As a mod of many subs on Reddit, what I saw killed a lot of the subs over thepast year is the proliferation of spam accounts that repost popular posts indiscriminately within a sub (OC, seller, doesn't matter) in order to advertise products/websites, etc via pinned posts on their profiles. Plus the Reddit admins allowing "viral" subreddits to spring up on a daily basis by these spam rings.
Most competent mods on legit subreddits knew how to use automod and verification tools to handle sellers, etc. What drove a lot of us mods to throw up our hands and close off subreddits is the fact that we got no support from admins to combat spam/spammers (not the same as sellers).
And of course, at the same time, Reddit banned a lot of long time experienced moderator accounts which then resulted in many niche subreddits to be banned due to lack of moderation. From my viewpoint, the culprit is not due to sellers.
[Addition] - Just old history for reference
I wrote a bot that scanned a posters history, and if it found an of link, it flagged them. Of course it was banned on reddit.
Haha - what a coincidence! I was part of the ones that reported to Reddit admins such bots like the one you wrote so that those bots would be banned ๐ (and they were)

One of the biggest issues that happened on Reddit was various folks trying to build fiefdoms and squatting on community/subreddit names without any real interest(s) in building up and nurturing the comms.
Glad you/admins here seem to be aware of this potential issue and are taking active action.
I was for disabling down votes the last goaround wrt this topic, and I'm of the same opinion.
LemmyNSFW hasn't grown much more in the past year and this will just drive away more posters (of which there aren't much left) imho
Additional - I'd prefer that others block me (so they don't have to see what I post) or block/don't subscribe to various communities I mod that they don't want to see as part of their feed, rather than have them downvote individual top level posts.
Enabling downvotes wrt comments, I'm okay with...
