I’m going to use this post answer some frequently asked questions about the transition from LemmyNSFW to FediNSFW and why it happened.

  • What happened, why the move?

    • Details can be found in this post
    • Details about how Lemmynsfw is up again and why it’s an archive now can be found in this post

  • Do I have to make a new account on FediNSFW?

    • Yes.

  • Can I still post on LemmyNSFW?

    • Please don’t, that will make storage costs and data usage go up, eventually I plan to modify the site’s code to fully prevent post creation.

    • Please use FediNSFW instead.

  • How are you going to ensure the exact same thing won’t happen to FediNSFW?

    • I already have other admin candidates I working with/onboarding.
    • I plan to set up the accounts related to the site to be accessible by other admins via a unified admin email address, or via group access.
    • I’m going to create a bitwarden vault with relevant credentials in it for all admins. That way if something happens and I disappear other admins can just login and take over.
    • As far as cost goes, FOR NOW I can fully afford the cost of the server without donations, as far as I can tell at least.
    • Currently the donations are just set to go into my personal account, but I would love to get to the point where we can set something up like or maybe joining the fedihosting foundation and have a pool of donations accessible without me. Not sure how I’m going to do that yet, so if you have suggestions, please let me know.

  • What apps can I use to connect to piefed/FediNSFW?

  • How can I donate to the instance?

    • Donate Here:

      • Ko-fi

      • LibrePay

      • Patreon

      • Monero Address: 41jp2mx2NqXdtxZra9BzvYYuYca4oWgpxYZvx8nmQB9zFncCejjhqdzMMBmHBeK5LoGN16yM2ttSsTFDSSbBnWFi5rnJQXJ

The answers to these questions are subject to change/get appended as needed.

      If you were a mod of a community on lemmynsfw, you can import a backup from lemmynsfw into fedinsfw, then if you go to the @lemmynsfw community, in the sidebar there is an option you can choose in order to transfer the community here with all existing posts. I have to approve it and then you’ll have that community here!

      If you weren’t a mod or you were but you don’t care to transfer the posts, if a community existed there and doesn’t exist here, you can just create a community you want.

      If you weren’t a mod of a community, and you see that a community you want to create doesn’t exist here but did on lemmynsfw, and you want to transfer it and become mod, message me, I think I have the ability to transfer any community.

        I don’t see where there is an option in the sidebar to transfer posts on either site. Not sure if I want to do that without seeing how it works with new stuff, but just an FYI

        i don’t fully understand the first point in the move community option: does that mean posts made on the old instance will NOT be transferred when moving the community? or only posts that have been interacted with on the new instance? or something completely else?

          Import a backup of your profile from lemmynstw into fedinsfw. On fedinsfw, navigate to the @lemmynsfw community, and go to the sidebar, below the moderators. If you were a mod of that community, you will see the option “Move community to fedinsfw.app”

      I don’t think bulk creating communities is a good thing. A heap of empty communities is like a ghost town. Ideally there should be a post to a community immediately when it is created, setting the tone and making it live.
