While some furry_irl posts may lean towards NSFW, not all of them are. Individual posts can be marked as NSFW, so that SFW ones are not marked while NSFW ones are.

This is quite important since Lemmy hides NSFW communities by default unless you’re logged in, and since you can’t view lists of all communities on a particular remote instance from your own instance, this makes finding remote NSFW community difficult. This could hamper the discoverability of furry_irl.

Not to mention users whom might be discouraged from joining this community because they only want to see SFW posts from furry_irl or users whom are part of instances that don’t allow NSFW like lemmy.ml

So in my opinion, it’s probably best if this whole community, furry_irl, is not marked as NSFW. NSFW posts may be marked as NSFW on a post-per-post cases.

    undefined> Users having the discretion to flag an infrequent NSFW meme as such would work a lot better. I do hope @liam@pawb.social sees this as their account last posted over a week ago.

    Thanks for bringing this up; I’ve updated the community’s settings to not be NSFW by default

      Thank you for your consideration, Liam.

      That said… should I also unmark this post as NSFW? Just to avoid irony. Though, given it’s a discussion about how NSFW contents are handled, could it be considered NSFW by itself?
