There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

Hey again, been a while since I posted in this thread! Was hoping to clarify a bit on the Lemmy.ca rules if I could. I have two questions:

What is the stance on NSFL/gore content? Allowed, discouraged, banned?
We have the rule "No porn." This sounds simple, but what is classified as porn. Is all nudity porn? Is nudity alright in an artistic context such as the Statue of David? What about a medical/injury setting, or a non-pornographic setting such as "public freakout" videos?

I ask these questions as I moderate !roadcam which could have both of these sorts of content posted to it, if not often. I am unsure if I want to ban that content outright, but it would be handy to know the instance rules first.

Sorry for the delay, I talked this over with the other admins, and here's what we decided:

NSFL/gore content is not allowed.
That's a tough one. Artistic should be fine. Medical/injury should also be fine, as long as it's not wading into NSFL/gore stuff.

Hope that helps!

Not at all, it's a tough question. Thank you so much for the answers, I will revise my community's rules to stay in line with that then. :)
