Trust me; they're coming. As a borderline asexual person I'd want nothing more than a non horny refuge, but that will never exist. Humans are far far too horned up to allow for that.

Why not just make or join an ACE community? I don't have any links handy, but I know I saw at least one searching through places to subscribe to.
That's a fair question, but more importantly what accent do you fart with? Or is a different one each time?

I'm asexual, through & through. It's understandable that sex / sexual content is inevitable in such a wide open space, but on R×ddit, it's become absolutely constant and inescapable! To the point where non-sexual things are being sexualized, and it's just become genuinely unnerving and gross.
I want to stop seeing posts commenting on everyday objects and being like "Damn, I'd fuck that!", as if anyone truly wanted to know that. Ever. Ick.

I'm bisexual myself but I hope they can at least not let things turn into what askreddit turned into with the near constant sexual questions.

We'll see how that goes as lemmy gets more popular, but yeah, I really like the overall vibe so far.
I’ve really enjoyed how much discussion is going on here! It seems like everyone is excited and happy to be here. Friendly conversations is something I missed on Reddit and I’m happy to have that here.
Oh, there's still plenty of time for that. I've already seen a couple of NSFW Lemmy instances,
That's disgusting! Tell me exactly where so I know where to avoid! Exactly.
I mean, you asked for it lol https://lemmynsfw.com/c/hentai
Annnnnd just like that, I learned that tentacle porn is a thing. Why did I click haha
Call of the void?
It's been a thing literally for centuries, you're late :P
Lol, this is one of the Lemmy moments of all time
I won't miss the adverts.
I'm so tired of being viewed as a revenue source in one way or another. It's really nice to go open source and not have that any more.
I'll miss my account, I've had it since 2012, but that's life.
I'm hoping it won't happen here but the endless shoehorning about how every single little problem anyone under the age of 40 encounters is because of fUcKiNg BoOmErS, and how anyone under the age of 40 is the most oppressed group of people in the history of time.
Ok boomer 👌😎🔥🌿💨
There's funny horny (tool to tell a joke) and then there's just horny horny.
And yes, I can do without the second crowd.
I am waiting for some NSFW communities/instances to be created. It has the addition of attracting new users as well.
Hoping they don't come with a deluge of OnlyFans spam. Reddit had some good niche NSFW subs, but they got watered down with generic content. The same stuff gets posted to every sub, with a mad libbed title to fit the kink. Their profiles are just a hundred of the same picture, titled Would you _____ a ______ or Am I too ____ for ____?
I think the worst offender was a ginger who made it to the top of HotArabGirls or something.

With NSFW content comes a rather gross group of questionable people, whether you'd like to admit or not.
I'm not saying that folks who gravitate towards NSFW content are a sketchy/gross group! I'm just saying that NSFW content will unfailingly bring in those kinds of people.
Lol, I kinda agree, which is somewhat related to another thing I won't miss: The teenagers.
The lockdown + reddit's new direction of becoming more like fb/insta has drastically increased the number of teenagers on reddit. I hate it. It's like an eternal summer-reddit.
The discussions get crappy and stale, they don't follow rediquette, they are insufferably naive but aggressive with their opinions due to twitterification of their online socialisation. and so.fricking.horny. TIFU and Askreddit almost completely became horny fantasy posting, and I blame the teenagers for it.
God I feel like a terminally-online grumpy old man for saying it, but UGH interacting with teens online is like a human rights violation.
Reminding myself that the person posting the worst opinions I've seen in my life is likely a 14 year-old with unrestricted access to the internet from birth is the only thing keeping me sane.
I've never taken the time to think about it like this, but it would explain so fucking much.

Some of the subreddits could be great, but some could also be really mean and unwelcoming. So far it seems much more friendly here, and I hope that's not just the honeymoon period.
Part of that came from the same 3 questions being asked every 5 hours from new people. I'm not necessarily condoning or justifying it, but it did get rather annoying in r/Deadpool when every day there were 4 new posts saying "Hey, I'm new to Deadpool, what's a good place to start reading/catching up?" despite the first item on the sidebar and FAQ was where to start and the big bold letters on a new post screen was "READ THE FAQ".
Alternatively, I stayed away from other subs like 1911 because if it wasn't a Springfield, Colt, or $1400 custom job you got berated and told to "save more money"

If you build it, they will come.
The horny people are gonna come here, just watch and see 😉.
Don't forget those horny bots. Beep boop bop
What would be nice is a good way to separate the nsfw instances from the others. Then have one account for those and one for normal posting.
Especially as a gay guy, seeing massively upvoted posts of a woman holding basically anything (but she’s wearing a low-cut top!!!!!!) got pretty exhausting.

The thing I like the most is that I don't have to scroll through lines of people making jokes to get to the actual discussion or insightful commentary on the topic. Even though there is less happening here, it is definitely more. I honestly can't see going back to reddit.
I don't mind good jokes, but Reddit has standard "inside jokes" that are posted to almost every thread. That and the endless quotes from television shows. I like Arrested Development too, but god damn can we just have a conversation without asking how much one banana costs?
Is that even avoidable? It's the low effort type of joke that will get you upvotes every time, and because of that, people will always reuse them.
“Karma” and the gamification of it make it worthwhile to do whatever gets you those upvotes. I like that Lemmy votes stay attached to the specific post or comment without it giving an overall score for the user. I also really like that the scores can be hidden by the user entirely.
I think there is potentially less reason to do the low effort stuff here.

Oh god I got so tired of the jokes. In the beginning I liked to see them peppered in here and there, and I love a good pun, but it just became so overdone and forced. Every thread was just lines and lines and lines of jokes (many of them weren't even good) with no actual conversation. It got boring.
