Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.
Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.
Man, I hope lemmynsfw is ready, lol
As a quick reminder: don't expect them to handle your load (lol) for free. If you are a gooner/goonette with some income, leave a tip for the server costs and consider volunteering for mod duties if you have time and some internet social skills. If you value your nsfw communities, they don't exist without work, like any other community.
RIP lemmynsfw's inbox.
They're gonna need so much money to host all the new content.
Are they the only porn instance? I am surprised at little porn I see on here and when I do it's all lemmynsfw.
Hosting NSFW content is an absolute ball-ache, so a lot of instances that are not NSFW focussed do not host it.
In the early days of feddit.uk, we decided to go the path of SFW, to simplify things.
I absolutely salute the lemmy-nsfw admins in taking that load on.
And it makes a lot of sense: If you're going to deal with the headaches, you might as well focus entirely on them!
As much as it sucks to say, it wouldn't surprise me if this stuff on Reddit is for the same reason.
Isnt it harder to host that kind of stuff, like you need certain providers, prob a bitch to moderate
