The site is just created and there is no content on it yet. I'm thinking of cloning some subreddits but not sure about it.
Moderation will be important for porn communities, so perhaps just start out with some kind of "meta" community where you can discuss stuff about the instance itself. May be better than throwing down a bunch of communities and ending up "stuck" having to deal with them.
I'm in a situation of creating some communities myself and let other capable people do it. Because I am really not into porn that much :) Will think about that tomorrow, right now I'm exhausted because Lemmy instance docs are not much descriptive.
Heh. I feel we may have a common attitude here; I'm not particularly into smut but I think it's very important for a free Internet to allow it to flourish for those that want it. The common "No NSFW" restriction on major Lemmy instances is likely to be one of the major hurdles to attracting Reddit refugees, alongside the particular political positions that devs and major instance-runners currently espouse.
I suspect both of those things will be diluted away quickly as this space evolves, though.
Until you create some communities, nobody can post unless they sign up on your server. Since most of us are already signed up elsewhere, that doesn't make much sense.
