And any Idea on when or if it will be back online?
From speaking with other instance admins it seems the head admin is not currently able to be contacted…
There is another lemmynsfw admin active in our chat but they do not have access to any database backups.
Bus factor strikes again.
That a lemmy issue in the way the Software is written or a General one?
The issue was that the instance was running on a single server, run by one person, who pays for it out of pocket and doesn’t get any money back.
But my guess is, that’s true for all but the biggest instances.

FBI open up
Spoiler
Unzips
Use nsfwbrowser.com
Didn’t know that existed. Thanks
It’s down for my alt, now that I just checked. Haven’t been on there for a week
Well… There’s one thing reddit does well…
it sucks.
what would you do to my holes?
would you breed this 40 year old thicc asian milf?
good riddance.
I tried to block the instance but summit doesnt seem to be able or willing or whatever
Create a user from an instance that doesn’t federate with it, simple solution.
you have literally no idea how lazy I am
That is the single most relatable thing anyone in the fediverse has ever said.
I kind of want a belt buckle or scarf that says that, maybe a cross stitch. Something that takes way too much effort to make
Yet here we all are, having put effort that was not strictly required into being principled about something. Otherwise we would still be over there.
I know it’s probably client related, but to block a sub on Jerboa I click the post, then click the sub, then I can block. Meanwhile, I’m clicking on posts of monster dongs, going to the sub dedicated to monster dongs, just to try to see fewer dongs. And so yeah, my gripe is with my client, but I’d love a long press, block sub, bing bang boom.
Same here. I block all kinds of communities, often just because they’re not relevant to my interests.
I wish I knew a way to block a community without having to visit that community first, directly from my front page where a post from that community is showing up.
I’m so lazy I’d whinge forever
I sat here and wondered for far too long what the meaning of your questions meant hahaha
Is it still down? Works fine for me.
for me it’s been four days now.
No it doesn’t.
deleted by creator
It did when I said that, but it sure isn’t right now.
Edit: Hey look, it’s working again! https://lemmynsfw.com/pictrs/image/89b9ce8b-247e-4ea7-9679-d84ccdec2025.jpeg (nsfw obviously)
No it wasn’t.
Oh look, this isn’t an argument!
Yes it is!
Just contradicting me isn’t arguing!
Yes it is!
What’s there to argue? It’s simply untrue. How much time should I spend arguing something that’s factually inaccurate?
But don’t take my word for it. Look at their other reply. They admit they were just mistaken. They weren’t on that instance. They were on gone wild which is on .world.
I’m just having a laugh
You know there’s two gonewild communities, yes? One on lemmynsfw with a post from 2 days ago and that I’m a frequent contributor to, and one on .world where the last post was 2 months ago (and that I’ve never interacted with) that doesn’t even show up in the search results without some dedicated scrolling. I’m going to say it’s effectively impossible to conflate the two accidentally. It’s getting kinda creepy how insistant you are that I must be wrong about doing something completely reasonable.
… Are you one of the lemmynsfw admins and I just don’t recognize you?
In her* my bad* defense I know it’s been down for days, but I clicked a link to a lemmynsfw post this morning and it did open, then I tested it again a while ago and it didn’t, so it is weird.
(Her) Yeah, I can still access all my posts from there (they don’t host on lemmynsfw, I think images are hosted on catbox) which is also just thru federation. But there are new posts on Gonewild from two days ago, which doesn’t track with the people saying it’s been down for four days - I suspect the outage is intermittent, but unless the admin comes forward with info there’s no way for anyone to know right now.
Gone wild is a .world community.
This one? I’m pretty sure it’s lemmynsfw.

The posts will stay on your instance forever. But as long as the instance is down no new posts will ever come.
Images may or may not show up, depending on if they were externally hosted, got cached, etc.

Same here - haven’t been able to have a proper goon in over 4 days, and that’s the only place where I source my material so…
Could be a federation issue
… said the Romulans.
Nah the site itself is down
Is that why i saw a remarcable lack of boobs in the feed?
Boobies!
Hope it stays down.
Interesting. Why?
Puritan mind virus is my guess.
Now I wanna watch some sexy Puritan porn. I should search for that on lemmynsfw… I just made myself sad.
This reminds me that I think it was on Reddit that at some point I found a Mormon porn community.
A soaking video sounds kinda hot.
Now I gotta write a song about the jump hump
I recall a series of videos that was practically a TV show about sister missionaries who became lesbian lovers.
There is already enough of that content on the internet; basically every platform pushes it relentlessly, so we really don’t need it on Lemmy as well. If someone wants to see that they just have to go search it in whatever search engine out there.
So, it clearly would not affect you in any way, shape or form either way, but you still want it gone. Sure buddy, try sounding virtuous in that position.
Yeah but isn’t that the point of federated services? Join an instance that doesn’t federate to the nsfw instances and you don’t need to see the content you don’t want. Heck I have multiple logins, one for looking at naughty stuff, one for seeing general stuff plus nsfw memes, and a mostly PG login for general use.
Telling others what to do is the only way they can get off.
I can respect that.
No! More porn, especially furry porn, especially feet stuff, especially on this dude here’s feed
Quick, send this guy feet pics
No man I’m pretty sure the point of Lemmy is that little fucking weirdos don’t get decide what the rest of us see.
Seems like you are already a brainrotted porn zombie… good for you. I guess…
porn zombie
Hey man. Just cuz you couldn’t handle it. Doesn’t mean that normal people can’t handle it.
Not everyone’s an alcoholic, and we don’t need to ban alcohol because you are.
LMAO
mgtow user
Why am I not surprised?
had to look this up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Going_Their_Own_Way
apparently it’s some kind of andrew taint shit. I’m surprised this exists on Lemmy.
Anyway
Enough…?
A MGTOW Lemmy instance? Lmaoo fucking loser
Omg he’s the only poster too
Why don’t the mgtows just defederate the porn? Like, they can just go
their own wayawayWhat’s MGTOW?
It stands for “Men Going Their Own Way”. The other person claimed MGTOW freaks are all gay. But really what it boils down to is that MGTOW is a part of a larger constellation of violently misogynistic, fascist adjacent, terminally online “men’s movements”, to have crawled out of the dark corners of the internet over the last decade or so.
So MGTOW, Incels, pickup artists, and other assorted weirdos all boiled up out of the same primordial internet sludge, and they’re trying to hop onto Lemmy. And I think it’s imperative that we bully the shit out of these dweebs.
Don’t let Nazi’s into your bar, or else it’ll become a Nazi bar, and all that.
Thanks for elaborating further. That’s really depressing.
It appears to be a movement of closeted gay men. I’d say these people need our support to achieve their final form. Send them pics of your hairy manly feet
Wow, that’s wild. Thanks for the response.
The site or?..
So this thread has shown a weird number of fucking Puritans on Lemmy but no answers to the question.
As far as I can tell, one of the main selling points of lemmy is actually the ability to filter out all NSFW communities, which is better than reddit where they conflate “nsfw for porn” with “nsfw for a swear word or scary topic in this text post.”
If people want to express a dislike of porn or say “eh it’s bad for you so stop browsing there” then I don’t mind. Could just block them if it gets really excessive.
It’s more like a few people loudly announce it and then get pelted with downvotes
Lemmynsfw admin here, partially my fault but mostly not.
The other admin owned the server and the domain, suddenly he stopped responding, I started getting concerned and shit you not before all this happened I was planning on making a backup the weekend AFTER the site went down. But of course that never happened. That’s the part that’s my fault, I should have been backing things up ages ago.
The server is down, and I had access to the server, but not the platform it’s hosted on. One day the server just… turned off. Other admin isn’t responding and I have no way to get the data from the site.
I have access to, but don’t own the domain. So the plan now is to look into other hosting options, like the fedihost beta program, and spin up a Lemmy and/or piefed instance and redirect from the old domain to a new one I own. But yeah unfortunately it looks like the site as it was is dead :(
It’ll be okay.
It happens to everyone eventually
Admin with server access went AWOL a bit ago, so they can’t revive it
