Start telling people now, over on reddit. BEFORE they start cracking down. That way, everyone will know, and the growth will happen even more rapidly.

Why should I use Lemmy or https://reddit.com for consuming pornography rather than https://danbooru.donmai.us/ or https://gelbooru.com/ or https://e-hentai.org/ or https://realbooru.com/ or even https://pixiv.net or https://www.deviantart.com/ or https://pornhub.com
The differences I see between link aggregator websites and those websites are that link aggregators have worse discoverability (it’s useful to have tags to search for and a hyperlink to the original source of a piece of content) and comment threading (and comments on pornography are basically useless to me). I don’t see how directing people looking for pornography to a link aggregator website rather than a website dedicated to providing it will be helpful to me.
And here we have a problem. You’re doing a very good job of describing what YOU want. You want pornography. The kind you can find on danbooru.
Are you a random girl who wants to post her tits and/or vag on /r/gonewild? Or are you a guy who wants to post his dong? Do they even allow random users to post their nudes on danbooru? Maybe they do, but not at all in the same format as /r/gonewild.
I’m asserting that Reddit will shortly ban and/or heavily restrict explicit user content, over on their platform, as an indirect consequence of becoming a public company. Nobody has control of that, other than the Reddit board, corporate officers, and shareholders. I’m using the “brace yourselves” meme to indicate that this will kick off a flood of users, fleeing to the Fediverse/Lemmy, because we are a direct replacement for Reddit.
If you haven’t noticed that, I can only say that I am confused. That’s what the platform was made to be. It works exactly like Reddit, but with several logical improvements (you can edit post titles after you’ve made a post, embedding images in replies is somewhat easier, the system isn’t owned by a single monolithic authority that can destroy communities on a whim, etc).
On the one hand, I am suggesting that the influx of new users can be a positive thing, to ensure the healthy growth of this platform. On the other hand, I am literally saying “brace yourselves,” because the wave of crazy shit is coming.
But I’m seeing several people responding like you, with this confusing attitude of “UHH, BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT I NECESSARILY WANT.” Well, yeah, that’s part of why I said “BRACE YOURSELVES.” Ned Stark was saying “Winter is coming” as an ominous portent, not an advertisement.
I mean, I actually happen to enjoy anonymous tits and pussy, but you do you.
