I'll fap to many things, but 20 identical posts with stupid questions as title because it drives engagement, posted in random subs that it doesn't even remotely fit in, I won't fap to! I have my dignity!

you jest, but you're also making the mistake that many here seem to do, which is mistaking an instance for a subreddit. instances should deal with hosting, moderators within communities should deal with content. anything else is way, way more strict than reddit ever used to be, and they have advertisers and owners breathing down their neck. kinda defeats the purpose of even leaving that place.
this. so much this.
The point is, they can go wherever people want them to go that make a certain community. That's the wole point. If Reddit had been this hardass about creating certain communities or not, it would've never grown as much as it did.
It just sets a really bad precedent. So celeb communities are first, ok. But next we're debating if exhibitionism and holdthemoan should better be just one sub, and then if gonewild and gonewildeurope should just be one, and why do there have to be more than ONE subs for JAV, or hentai, or... the list is endless. Don't start policing the instance like it was a subreddit.
Instead, just switch to "Subscribed", like we all did as the most normal thing in the world a few days ago.
Why is everybody trying to police this instance like it was a single little subreddit? Would Reddit have gotten far if it had been so anal about what communities people can and cannot create?
There's always gonna be communities that other people don't want to see, and with a growing community there's gonna be more and more of them. So instead of policing them all, just subscribe to communities you'd like to see, then look at the "Subscribed" view, that what it's literally there for.
Following as on creating a list of people to remember, sure, that would be cool, and if it's exportable, even better!
But turning the forum Lemmy into another social media wannabe clone, no thanks!
I'm voting to not have it active on any community I visit. Sorry.
I applaud your efforts in getting this instance going, but at the same time I think it's kind of ironic that the rules are now stricter than they are on Reddit. They had the simple reason that they are first of all beholden to their ad partners, here that shouldn't be an issue, so it's kinda... disappointing I guess. Well there's another instances too, and switching accounts is just like switching to an alt on reddit, so... I'll check by from time to time and see how it's going, while still wishing people would employ a much, much more hands-off approach. Damn I miss the old internet.

Why do you assume all this shit is worth getting some cringy amateur content? I don't even like amateur content when it's interactive. Those thots can go make videos and sell them on their whatever site, but they shouldn't talk to me like I'm stupid and thirsty, and they should stay the fuck out of my communities!
