Most instances, including yours (and mine), ask for donations. Maybe start there?
If you gave them even $1 a month it would probably cover the hosting costs, though not anybody's time.

Not sure if you realize, but a lemmy instance can turn off downvotes for the entire instance. So we'll see if instances with downvotes disabled will do better.
Out of curiosity, you seemed interested, knowledgeable, and reliant on them so were you giving them money?
Are you an OF Creator selling porn? If not, then you wouldn’t be joining or paying.
It’s to help OF creators advertise in the fediverse, not to pay 10 bucks a month to watch porn.
Sure, Lemmynsfw is always going to have more users, but I want to serve the needs of the Creators. I’m trying to help get more content for users on lemmynsfw by helping OF Creators get involved.
It’s the fediverse, you can have multiple servers. And OF Creators can use a server that caters towards their needs and still reach their audience on lemmynsfw
Maybe an odd take, but I think one of the things missing to make people move over more is porn. So I’m trying to help - https://xxxiver.se
Cum for the porn, stay for the memes
I think if it doesn’t affect other people, and nobody is being exploited/everyone is participating willingly, then it’s none of my business what others choose to do.
I’m actually trying to help sex workers, particularly porn Creators, use the fediverse to take control of their social media. I want to help them keep control of their own destiny - https://xxxiver.se
Welcome! Let me know if I can help.
That's what I'm trying to do with https://xxxiver.se
I think porn creators would actually benefit enormously from using fediverse services. They own their data/platform, they can't get kicked off, etc.
