Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven
We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
I'd never heard of it.
But there are a couple issues with hosting Lemmy instances that have caused some other instances.
If you allow images, you need to deal with pedos posting things to your instance. Now you are hosting illegal content, and that kind of charge isn't something that you really want to deal with.
Something else is just money. It's not free, so if no one donates, it's out of pocket.
That was the second instance I was on that disappeared (the other was Vlemmy.net). Now I'm starting to see why everyone wants to be on the big instances, less chance of them going down.
As far as I could tell, lib.lgbt didn't have a donation page. It's surprising how many instances don't even bother to put up one.
