Hi, I’m new to the platform and I’m a little confused about how to follow other users. I go to their profile, click follow, but then it asks for my remote instance and I don’t know what that is. Could someone please guide me?

    Most of Lemmy and PieFed instances mostly SFW, more for news, music etc. and the way I understood it, not every instance likes NSFW, that’s why lemmynsfw.com(now its archived) and fedinsfw.app where created. Still, there are users in these SFW who enjoy some NSFW in their feed!
    I would recommend staying here, since no other NSFW instances exist.

      Yes, you’re absolutely right. I’ve been looking into it and searching for communities, but there are hardly any. People here are loyal and do interact, but our reach is still limited. What can we do to grow? I really don’t want to go back to Reddit!

        To grow, you need to bring people in, share and let people know about Lemmy and how it works.

        Lemmy and fediverse is fun to join, but it’s not free, admins along with donations are holding the servers up. It would be better if we had more instances I believe.

        The story goes that we would leave Reddit for Lemmy, The Big Exodus, but not everyone followed. There were people who didn’t like how Lemmy worked and stayed in Reddit.

        Other than that, check erome and fetlife.

          Sure, I get it—it hasn’t been an easy task. As for FetLife, I had an account there, but a follower asked me via private message where they could see more of my content; I sent them my OnlyFans link and got banned, so I never created an account there again.
