PornLemmy

Hey everyone, since total cumulative donations for the last 3 months were less than $200 (~ $60/month), even though PornLemmy has an average of 250k uniques per month with peaks of 300k+, I have dropped plans for improvements (new frontend + backend tweaking) and will only spend $60/month worth of time and resources on PL. I won't put ads or gather personal data for profit, but I am open to selling to someone who will. Imagining zero growth, I'm targeting an ARPU of $0.005 amortized over one year, BTC. You can contact me at pornlemmy@gmx.com .

Hi,

I just noticed Lemmy doesn't support uploading videos, and I knew Redgifs only allows videos up to 1 minute of duration.

However, most of my videos are 2 to 5 minutes long, the cuts are already optimal, and I won't divide these in multiple parts.

So where else can I upload these ?

Thanks

Today, a large part of Ukraine was left without mobile and internet service. To anyone who has some spare bandwidth, please consider joining the Telegram group and reading the instructions. Thank you all in advance.

Is there a reason some communities from federated instances are not available here? For example, !aigen@lemmynsfw.com cannot be found, but is visible from another instance.

Can individual communities on another instance by blocked and if so, is it possible which communities are?

All gifs posted through redgifs show up as links that open the gif when clicked but offer no preview.

Hi, currently I am using Jerboa and unfortunately I can not see any redgifs. I am just redirected to redgifs website. I think back when infinity was still working, I was able to look at most of the content in-app. Has anyone a recommendation or a solution for my problem? I don't want to use redgifs website directly. Many thanks in advance.

Hello there, I have a question regarding MP4s hosted on pornlemmy, I can never seem to load them, what’s up with that? They just give me a black screen whenever I visit from pornlemmy’s website, on my Memmy client or through my home server’s own UI, even when I go to the link directly.

Hi peeps, if you're in Europe you might have noticed we had a small outage today. If you're in Europe, you might also have noted that it's hot outside. The PornLemmy team squeezes the servers running the site between a shit ton of other servers that do sciency stuff, but they're not critical enough to merit a nuclear fallout end of the world datacenter. Therefore, we get a regular run of the mill datacenter, which was not built with the tolerances this Cerberus heatwave is bringing down on us (and we're in the worst affected part of Europe).

So, because of the red temperature alert, hardware parts have started to degrade. We managed to do a database dump and move the whole deployment to another cluster without losing much data (about 10-15 minutes worth), but things are not looking good for the near future, as we have the red temperature alert predicted for every day this week and next week. Fun times ahead. Help us buy a desk fan?

Our apologies to anyone who was affected, and apologies in advance to anyone who might be affected in the future. We'd like to say we'll be on top of everything, but the weather is too freakish for us to actually believe it.

Hello again peeps, Alex here, the admin of PornLemmy. We’re celebrating one week of being online, and we’re going to share some nerd stats and fun facts with you.

When I decided to start PornLemmy, there seemed to be a void which needed to be filled: a porn Lemmy instance with a heavy bias towards vanilla content, and with very strict moderation so that it’s a safe and fun place for everyone. However, I didn’t imagine it would grow so much in so little time; thank you all, please excuse me if I don’t shake your hands – we know what you do with them.

According to Cloudflare, PornLemmy had 71.5k unique visitors in the last 7 days. You can see the growth curve at the end of this post, so far it seems pretty stable, which to me means that we’ve quickly reached most of our intended audience. There is the small dip in uniques for Saturday which puzzles me: are you watching more porn at work than at home?

Unlike LemmyNSFW, the biggest porn Lemmy instance, and unlike all the other small instances which I won’t name, PornLemmy does not require users to sign-up in order to view content. It was a strategic decision: we don’t want to force anything on you, it’s entirely your decision if you want to have a user here or not. Our expectations are that only content creators will sign-up, along a bunch of horny lemmings who want to comment how beautiful the poster’s eyes are. That is why there is a big discrepancy between visitors and registered users on PornLemmy. The good thing about this is that posts have just a few upvotes, meaning we won’t spam other non-nsfw Lemmy instances – we wish to avoid stuffing porn down user’s throats when they didn’t ask for it. The bad thing is that our visibility in the fediverse is low, but we’re totally ok with that; horny people will find their way to us organically.

When looking at time spent on the site, two very clear groups can be seen: the first group, who spends between 1 and 7 minutes on PornLemmy, and the second group who spends 15 or more minutes. It would be impolite for us to say anything about the first group, so we will address only the second one: hey ladies, how can we improve your bean flicking experience? Tell us what you’d like to see more, and what you’d like to see less. We’ve managed so far to keep degradation or humiliation content to a minimum – what else may we do to deliver you consistent happy endings?

Regarding content, so far we’ve filtered 608 communities and 2445 posts that were not appropriate for PornLemmy. Out of these, only 3 communities and 8 posts were local. We have also applied to USA’s National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which will make flagging and removal of inappropriate content automatic, so you the visitors won’t be subjected to distressing imagery if it’s ever posted here.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that posts containing only male nudity got so many upvotes and encouraging words (unlike some otheR place). A message to all women: please comment more and tell us men that you enjoy what you’re seeing, we really need a bit of male body positivity at this moment in time, and your opinion has a lot of weight. Message to men: show your junk more, women love it.

We weren’t that pleased with the amount of LGBT content. It’s very very low. If you’re part of this group but are a bit afraid to post, please keep in mind that the PornLemmy moderation team is very strict with disparaging comments.

When looking at what devices you peeps use, 75% visit us on phones, 16% with a browser, 7% on a tablet. Apple is a very clear brand leader with 35% of visitors, while Samsung and Google branded devices have 7.5% and 5%, respectively. If you can afford Apple devices, maybe you can also afford to spend $1 per month to help PornLemmy survive? Thank you :).

As a side node, we feel the best way to enjoy PornLemmy is on a browser. If you haven’t tried it yet, please take a couple of minutes opening a new incognito tab and checking out https://pornlemmy.com. Do let us know what you think, we’re still young and need a lot of user feedback.

Regarding visitor’s origins, 79.5% come to us directly, meaning you don’t follow any links to get to PornLemmy. 10% come from https://join-lemmy.org, 4% come from https://browse.feddit.de, and 1% come from https://lemmynsfw.com. Fun fact – for every visitor that comes to PornLemmy from LemmyNSFW, we send two of our visitors from PornLemmy to LemmyNSFW. The federation seems to work well so far, content is being shared freely between instances as it was intended. We also have a surprising entry: 0.5% of our visitors come from …… drum rolls………. Reddit. Oh how the turntables

That's enough stats for now, thank you to anyone who reached the end of this message. Keep being naughty!

I've just noticed @Moderator@pornlemmy.com created more than 300 communities in less than a day.

A few minutes ago I couldn't quite grasp how the inter-community inter-federated services worked, I'm starting to figure it out. Keep in mind this simple truth: You can subscribe to any Lemmy community in any instance from your instance, the instance in which you created your account doesn't affect this.

With this in mind, all you got to do is subscribe to all the communities in PornLemmy that you want to see on your Subscriptions feed. This is easier to do on a web browser.

You can check all the PL communities over here: https://pornlemmy.com/communities

Click the ones that interest you and look at their links. Example :

1. I wanna see the content from "Ass" in my subcriptions
2. I click on the "Ass" community from the list at PL communities list
3. This directs me to the home page https://pornlemmy.com/c/ass
4. This way I know that the "id" of this page is "ass"
5. I can now go to the instance in which my account is created which in my case is lemmy.world and log-in with the user that wants to see this content
6. I can use lemmy.world's base URL https://lemmy.world/c/ in which I can write community names
7. Since I know the community I want to subscribe to lives in PL, I will access it like an email address from here by writing it at the end with the id ass and the website where this community actually lives @pornlemmy.com
8. As a result I have the following address https://lemmy.world/c/ass@pornlemmy.com, so now I put it in the browser and tap Enter
9. I can now click on subscribe at the right hand of the page, and the content from this community will be displayed inside my lemmy.world Subscriptions feed

Here's some of the links I used that will work for people who have created their accounts in lemmy.world:

• https://lemmy.world/c/titjobs@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/redhead@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/pussy@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/lipsthatgrip@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/hairypussy@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/freeuse@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/deepthroat@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/cumcovered@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/creampies@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/chubby@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/boobs@pornlemmy.com
• https://lemmy.world/c/ass@pornlemmy.com

This same procedure could be used for any other instance of lemmy, you just need to change the "lemmy.world" part of the link for whatever the instance your account is created on :)

Now, for the mobile part, I'm on Android so I downloaded the Thunder client. I logged in with this user (which I use exclusively for NSFW content). I told it I created my account on lemmy.world and I input my password.

Once I logged in, I changed my default feed type to "Subscriptions" and voilà! There's my clean porn from PL on my mobile phone using Lemmy any time I open Thunder :)

Hope this is useful and helps you understand better who Lemmy works, at least it did for me.

Hi peeps, it's been a bit over 24 hours since we went online with PornLemmy, and whew you are some horny dudettes. 14.000 unique individuals visited us, totaling 144GB of internet traffic. Not bad for a start, thank you and come again.

Also, please consider donating $1 to us - it would make a huge difference helping this Lemmy instance survive.

As per title, all content (sfw or nsfw) will always be shown, regardless if you've disabled "Show NSFW content" in your profile settings.

PornLemmy accepts videos (and images) of up to 25MB. If you have a small clip you'd like to share, and it's over 25MB, consider lowering the quality (ie move to 720p or lower).

This site was created because a good, clean porn Lemmy instance was missing. It was configured from day one to scale and accept a large number of users and posts, with as little downtime as possible. We also made custom modifications to various components' source code in order to better fit the needs of the users. But all this costs time, hardware, services, etc. If you like what you see and would like for this instance to survive and grow into a curated safe place for everyone, please consider donating - $1 makes a world of difference if all the users do it.
