A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Perhaps unrelated but Lemmy.world seems to be having some major performance issues right now. Historically this kind of thing could really screw up federation. See https://status.lemmy.world/
You're not alone, I saw some "Where's the porn?" post a few hours ago.

Not sure if it's your issue but I've found that a lot of the NSFW communities don't like being connected to other communities that allow for downvotes.
You're right, but (I think) that's a setting on the home instance for the community. Other instances can allow/show the downvotes, but the NSFW community will be blissfully unaware.
That could also be the case I'm not going to purport myself to be any sort of Lemmy expert. I just feel like it would make sense that if a community is morally opposed to the idea of downvotes they would try anything they could or would put any sort of thing in place that would allow them to safeguard against that.
No kink-shaming? :)
I just block the communities I find gross or anti-sexy.
Maybe a federation issue on one of the instances? Both instances are shown to be linked from their instances tab.
Check if your instance defederated from them.
