Oh humblebrag, you know you're pretty πŸ˜€ And you so are! I'm not even into guys (for the most part anyhow) but I've got functioning frickin eyeballs

What about hot bi guys? We… uh they’re pretty cool too.

Dude, own that bi-ness ❀️

I don’t think NSFW content is bad, I feel like in fact having different sections for NSFW posts makes community bigger because it attracts people.

Yeah definitely! Porn / erotica has been a huge factor in the popularity of the whole internet, too. Like you said in your post, currently lemmynsfw is mainly specifically porn; it's an "easier" format than more conversation-based stuff because Lemmy really doesn't have critical mass yet and the majority of people just mainly lurk and don't comment / post (like it is with any social network.) Contrast this to the fact that there's smutty chat subreddits that have more users than the entirety of Lemmy πŸ˜…

I did notice that a lot of people have β€œsex is dirty” mindset (elsewhere not here) and then they can get pretty rude and underhanded like anything goes because basically they associate sex with something dark and secretive.

Ugh I get what you mean. Weirdly enough it feels like younger folks are a bit more in that mindset than us old farts, like attitudes have gotten more conservative instead of less when it comes to sexuality. Well, at least partially, there's good things too of course.

But yeah anyhow, could be that your best bet right now could be to try and be active on [email protected] (or others like it, I actually don't know what the options are here for that stuff) like you've already done, try to strike up conversations? Might be a bit of a grind but you already managed to "activate" people a bit which is great!

This could just as well have been written by me. Especially the bit about how "people who know themselves and are unapologetically authentic about it are just lovely" really resonates with me; one of the benefits of being middle aged is that people do tend to sort of find themselves as they get older, and just be way less stressed about how they seem to others.

Benefits of being a lesbian πŸ˜…

But yeah, lemmynsfw definitely can be a bit of a sausage fest. The Fediverse and Lemmy especially are niche enough that a lot of the users are techy types (like yours truly, heh) which does tend to still bring a gender bias with it.

If you have the spoons for it, you could occasionally post the kind of stuff you'd like to see? It might feel like shouting into the void since yeah, not a lot of women here (probably more gay guys), but every change has to start somewhere, right?

Might have to create and mod communities though, which is a whole 'nother can of worms if posting isn't restricted

Thanks ❀️ She's so tasty that I figured picking a few from a bunch of different sets would be nice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I knooooow. Not a surprise considering her stuff's almost 20 years old by now (fuck me I'm old), but a person can wish πŸ˜€

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

She's completely made out of horny πŸ₯΅ Clearly has talent on top of having very good genes, and she just radiates sex appeal.

Glad you enjoyed the post ❀️

Thank you ❀️ I aim to please

Ha, true! This could be a Philip K. Dick storyline 😁

Oh yes but my point is that even though I know that the order in the file picker is correct, the result often isn't. Out of curiosity I just had to check how lemmy-ui does things, and turns out I was essentially right about how the uploads are done: looking at the markdown textarea source, each upload is turned into Markdown and added into the comment body as soon as it finishes (in uploadSingleImage). Wouldn't even be all that hard of a fix I think, let's see if I'll find the energy to make a throwaway github account and make a PR out of this πŸ˜…

Honestly could be, it's been a while since I had to touch web UI code. I had a vague memory that at least in Firefox and Chrome file pickers give their resulting FileList in the same order as the files were in the native picker dialog. My gut feeling is that there's a for … of loop somewhere in lemmy-ui that goes through the file list returned by the picker, and starts an upload for each file so that each upload's completion handler adds the newly-minted image's markdown to the comment. It really does feel like the order is based on whichever upload finishes first, because often the order is sort of correct but not quite.
