    I don’t see it being a benefit in communities in that I mod (hentai, paizuri, tentaclehentai, and hentaigif), so I’m not personally keen on it but I can see why larger communities might want it. I’m no longer as hopeful that a more active hentai-oriented community will develop here, so though I voted “No”, I’m a little apathetic about the choice now, personally.

    From what I recall, some users use downvotes for more than just spam, like disliking things. This creates a problem when people browse the Local feed and downvote stuff they don’t like even if they aren’t even subbed to that community. This impacts niche communities and their posters/creators who would get more downvotes from people seeking more mainstream content even if it would otherwise fit that community.

    If the goal is just to ward off spam, then unless reports aren’t enough, I’d keep downvotes off.






  • A quick glance suggests that this artist has a reasonably extensive history of drawing dating back to 2013 according to HentaiFoundry. Their Twitter profile is sparse on WIPs but has a few as far as back as 2019, so I’m inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt and say it’s just some jank on their part.

    I totally appreciate the second opinion though; glad it wasn’t just me that thought about it.






  • My preference is to name the character and artist directly somewhere, usually in the title. It also works for searching when put in the description too. As long as you actually name the character/artist somewhere, it should work. Thanks for posting and asking!

    If I had the time and energy to do it, I’d probably build a sauce bot to look it up and write it out automatically, but I’m lazy.

    feat. Ochaco Uraraka from Boku no Hero Academia - Art by SnowV | Pixiv | Gelbooru


    MOD NOTE: This post is more suggestive than explicit but it’s original content and it still looks good! We’ve done the same with other posts that are more along the lines of ecchi than hentai too. This one probably belongs on something like !lewdanimegirls@lemmynsfw.com though.

    If anyone’s wondering why it has basically no title, I think that’s because that’s how it was posted on Mastodon, but I’ll reach out to the artist to let’em know.




  • Thank you~ I’ve updated my sidebar to refer to the correct rule number when reminding users to not post any instance-wide banned materials like underage or non-con content etc. etc.

    Looking forward to the docs page getting built out progressively to help navigate some of the nuances around some of the more “gray” rules that are harder to adjudicate on. It’s a lot of work, and I’d imagine no user will read it right off the bat, but it’ll be helpful to refer them to when making those judgement calls and referring users to when they (hopefully) accidentally post banned content. The thought and depth of the work is very appreciated.


  • Not the original asker, but to clarify the first question: should I take this to mean that aged up are possibly acceptable in this revision as opposed to a complete ban?

    I’m not asking this to start posting “oppai loli” content or w/e, but moreso content that provide better context clues for the characters being older:

    • Easy Case - Characters sharing a night together after a long day of college classes
    • Hard Case - Characters that are physically older and have anatomical proportions resembling an adult

    I’m mostly asking this as a moderator since I’ve taken care to ensure characters depicted in my posts are either canonically 18 and up or at least appear sufficiently old enough (if no canonical age is available) to make it easy on myself, but I’d like to have a better idea of where to draw the line when moderating posts from others, if possible, in a way that suits this instance. (Thanks!)


  • Hi, not much for me to contribute other than echoing my thanks for managing this instance. I’ve been too busy to post as actively on my one community recently, but I’ve continued to check in on posts in case anything needed modding under the current rules.

    I would highlight that I do appreciate Limeey’s break down of what happened. While I don’t think it’s reasonable or necessary to provide a full explanation each time, it does inspire confidence in me that this instance will have a team that thinks through its governance in the future.

    Some members of the admin team have publicly shared strong views and attitudes that I disagree with, leaving me concerned with the long-term viability of this instance if they dominated the decision-making process. However, it sounds like there’s potential for the team to deliberate and find a path forward that toes a balance between being permissive while maintaining a level of risk that the team is comfortable with.

    I hope we can see a similar level of clarity and consideration when the next revision of the rules and guidelines are available.


  • It’ll be sad to see you go, but perfectly understandable considering everything that’s happened. Just opening the instance alone and governing it for as long as you have is already an amazing amount of effort, so I hope you won’t lose sight of that in spite of all the challenges.

    Definitely hope you take some time to take care of yourself as you step away from here. Best of luck with finding someone to take over.
