The only problem I have, is that I can't seem to find the porn.

There's an entire instance dedicated to it: lemmynsfw.com

I tried, but they never approved my account. I know they do it in waves, but I applied a month ago

a lot of servers are really weird about porn, ngl. its not that they just don't allow it on their server (which, cool, thats fine), its that they go out of their way to block it. its a new wave of puritanism and i don't really like it. although porn isn't that hard to find if you are on a good server.

Do you know of a good server for that? Because I tried to sign up with Lemmy n sfw they never activated my account, and it was like a month ago.

And yeah, I'm not sure why the sex positivity movement seems to have completely reversed itself. There is this idea that the idea of sexuality of any kind is somehow inherently wrong. Which is stupid. I need all the fetishes

Just make sure you put a good human text in the prompt when you sign up. Otherwise they think you're a bot.

Also check if your username already exists there because the form doesn't seem to do that.

PS: Fetishes FTW <3 Though of course fetlife rules for that.

Yeah it's one of the thing I liked about Reddit. This everything goes mentality.

I think the problem is that many lemmy servers are based in Germany and despite their open reputation they do have some sub-communities that are very regimental and strict due to their calvinist heritage. We have the same stuff in Holland unfortunately. Some people are super open, but other communities are extremely strict and religious.

The way they deal with it is different though. Germans try to pave over these differences by blocking anything anyone could find offensive. I think this is what promts these blocks. In Holland we just don't care and are more belligerent against the more conservative groups. Which I like.
