p3x.deRIP LemmyNSFW, FediNSFW is live! and Donations
if/when you create your account, to view nsfw you must enable it in your profile! I’m looking into fixing this
Xaeg/Yay was the owner of LemmyNSFW, and he had access to and paid for the domain, server, and everything else related to the site. He has been AWOL for about 6 months now, and suddenly this month, the server and the domain stopped being paid for. I have no access to the server to get the database.
Because of this LemmyNSFW as it was, and all the content on it, much to my dismay, seems to have died.
So what now?
In my opinion, and I feel many other people’s opinion as well, the fediverse needs a place for NSFW! A place run ethically while also allowing people to (within reason) explore their kinks, sexuality, etc. as they please.
So I have created FediNSFW to be that place! It is a piefed instance instead of a lemmy one because if there’s one thing NSFW content benefits from it’s good moderation tools and flairs, and piefed has those things.
As for now I have access to the DNS records to the lemmynsfw domain but there seems to be another dns setup that I don’t have access to, in four months the ownership of the site will lapse, and I will try to aquire it so I have full control of it. Until then, I had no choice but to create this new site.
I am, as of now, the sole admin and owner of the site!
FediNSFW.app is the site!
Now hosting is NOT free by any means, and I assume costs will rise, so I have created accounts on a few platforms so that people who would like to can donate.I plan to keep this site going as long as I can, and the more donations the site receives, the easier that will be!
I will NEVER ask anyone to pay to enter the site, this is purely voluntary.
Here are the links to donate:
The Future
I will slowly build out some of the formerly existing communities based on some snapshots of lemmynsfw from the wayback machine. But it would be much easier with the help of the community, so logically, I am looking for admins and mods!
If you would like a community to be made and you’re willing to check up on it and maybe make some posts here and there please make it! NOTE: for security reasons your account must be 24 hours old to create a community
If you were a mod of a community message me and I will get that community created and add you as a mod!
If you’d like to be an admin, obviously there will have to be some trust between you and I and you may need to be up to the task of potentially doing some sysadmin work. But message me on here or preferably on matrix if you’re interested!
Piefed Info
Piefed is another Federated, open‑source social media platform similar to reddit, but as mentioned before it has better moderation tools like :
tagging and flairs
the ability to add plugins
built in automod tools
and more!
- here is a full list of differences from lemmy
If you are wondering about what apps work with piefed you can find those here
I will most likely be adding alternative ui’s to the site in the near future, but as of now the vanilla ui will have to do, the setup process for this site was a bit of a headache! 😅
That’s about it I think! welcome to the new site, go wild (😉) posting!

Thanks for your work LP 💙
When you have the chance could you talk about how to go about preventing fedinsfw from experiencing the same fate as lemmynsfw please? I’m hesitant to invest in another fedi instance reliant on a single person is all 😬
I can also volunteer for sysadmin work (infrastructure/devops is my profession) if I can be useful 👍
I plan to set up the accounts related to the site to be accessible by other admins, I’ll probably host a password manager on the site’s server, or maybe just create an account one of the popular ones, with relevant credentials in it. That way if something happens and I disappear they can just login and take over. That’s part of why I’m actively recruiting admins.
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.
Really appreciate the work!
Highly recommend not hosting a password manager on your webhost. There are myriad security issues, but also reliabilty problems. Losing access to the host might mean losing access to all the other services as well.
Id recommend going with hosted Bitwarden. Their free accounts can be shared with others.
Would recommend Bitwarden (or the self-hosted variant).
Yeah I’ll probably just use regular bitwarden, that way it’s not dependent on the server
Thanks 👍
Sad times. So much content was lost. I had kind of burnt out and wasn’t posting much these days, but now that it’s gone I realize how much I miss it.
Thanks for this, I know the easy path is to let things die out, it’s a lot more work to recreate it. There are a lot of things I like about this new site already, video support for one, future posting, AI labels, tags sounds promising, but I imagine it’s going to be a lot more expensive. Hope it takes off!
Thanks for setting this up, @lemmyposter212@fedinsfw.app! It’s great to see another NSFW instance fill the void.
Finally. Someone who steps up. Thank you.
Btw, Is that all the subs or you still adding more? If you do, add celebeconomy too.
I’ll add some, others will add some, if you want to see it,create it or ask someone else to who you know would maintain it
Doing God’s work, son!
hello! Would you consider posting a monero address for people who would like to support financially but are privacy conscious (ok, paranoidl? Thank you!
Sure I can do that
Do you have any recommendations for community creation by people that have no experience or interest in moderating? There are a number of my favorites that I thought about recreating and seeding with my respective LemmyNSFW downloads, but I don’t want to be in charge of them.
Thank you for this, by the way!
Echoing the request for Monero or some other payment method.
I dislike PayPal.
ok it’s made, here’s the address

Oh shoot! Sorry I forgot! I’ll take care of that tomorrow, it’s late here
Out of the loop here: what happened to lemmynsfw?
the owner and main admin of lemmy nsfw hasn’t responded to messages in over 6 months at this point, he stopped paying for things seemingly, and the site just went down one day. I didn’t have backups, or access to the vps/server it was hosted on, so I started this instance.
Ty for answer and the instance 😄
What are some simple options for posting video? redgifs, catbox.moe or similar? Do I just post a link to them or is there any markdown to preview the video in this site?
I think if you just put the link to those it should show a video preview, I’m not 100% sure how the video previews work for posts, I’ll have to do some testing because I had some trouble with linked images making previews. But yes those two are the recommended options
Do you have a recommended android app for viewing Redgifs embedded (thumbnail and sound) while browsing this instance on the phone? I’ve tried Summit, Boost, Voyager, Interstellar, Thunder, Blorp - and none of them have the Redgifs link (thumbnail and sound) embedded while browsing. The images work though from the settings sections of most of these apps.
Would appreciate any help on this front
Edit: Boost, Voyager are consistently showing Redgifs links embedded in their apps with sound. They seem to fit the bill. Blorp is good for updating thumbnails for the communities being moderated. The rest of the apps don’t fit the bill for either tasks
Piefed support is in beta for most apps, that’s just something that may take time to implement unfortunately. You do also have the option of installing the Web app from your browser, it works pretty well.
Thanks. The Web App on the phone is a good workaround for now. Appreciate the response!
No problem!
FediNSFW doesn’t show up on Voyager, Boost or Summit Android apps. Is there any way you can reach out to them so the fedinsfw.app instance can be listed there so we can sign up from there? Thank you
What do you mean? Can’t you manually type the instance in?
You’re right, my mistake. It worked. Turns out I was putting in the wrong password, D’OH! Apologies.
Happens to the best of us lol
Finally some good news!! Thank you so much for putting this together. I idly checked lemmynsfw this morning after losing hope last month and whoa you did it, you rescued the nsfwverse.
I don’t know if I can put in words what it means to me to have a space like this on the internet. Like the walls are really closing in and the things I liked about the web are almost all gone or ruined. Just having a place for shitposting and boobs, not overrun by Nazis or bots, seemed like it was maybe actually too much to ask for in currentyear.
Just donated $55. Thanks again for doing this, seriously.
And we’re back, thanks for (re)setting this back up. Just when I thought I was done with the Fediverse, and social media in general, they pull me back in…
I thought long and hard about making a /0 account, but after fmhy and lemmyNSFW died around me I thought I was done with it all. But here you are, giving me hope again.
Hi there! 🤗
Just wanted to give you big thanks for all of your hard work in creating a new place for this community, you are so amazing! 💚
Can’t wait to post here more and see this place grow 😊
Thank you! Glad to have you back!
so these all have no posts for me and I don’t hide nsfw in my profile. of course I could be blocking the posters I suppose. its not in the piefed.social banned domains.
I read this message a few times on Lemmy before I realized that the name of the instance is https://fedinsfw.app
so just posting that in case others didn’t figure that out quickly.
Ah yes good point, I’ll add that
FYI if anyone is trying to connect to this based on this post, OP has said elsewhere they have temporarily taken it down to fix a few things. It’s supposed to be up soon.
nope! it’s up!
Anyone else getting
The CSRF tokens do not matchfrom the content warning? I was able to visit the signup link directly and got past it once signed-in.yep, it was a piefed issue, just pulled down the fix from git, should be fixed
I can confirm it no longer displays an error, but that’s the only change. It still doesn’t progress for me when
Continueis clickedyeah idk, lemmy’s was wonky like that too, just click any other button on the screen and itll let you navigate away, and if it shows up again it’ll work correctly
Hi !
Thank you for your work on this !
We’re not very tech savy, so could you please tell if there is any way to import our profile from lemmynsfw (subscription but most importantly our posts) to this profile ?
Unfortunately no, because the site is down there’s now way to retrieve any data, but you can still view those posts if you create an account on lemmy.world and search your username, then at least you could save the photos and repost them if you like
Edit: it looks like images uploaded directly to the site are broken so your photos just have thumbnails :(
Oof, this really is a big loss… Thank you still for answering us ! If this instance starts getting traction, we’ll try posting here, when we’re feeling better about losing 2 years of maintained presence on the previous instance haha
Yeah I’m really sorry this happened, it’s a big loss for me too, I promise you I’m going to keep this site alive as long as I can
Do I need to register in order to get past that content warning page?
oops, actually, you do need to register first
I user Jerboa for Lemmy, does it work with piefed instances?
I don’t think so
