I’ve seen multiple requests for nsfw lemmy communities like reddit has. I live in Germany, and I think you are required to verify that the users that see porn content are above the age of 18. Does Lemmy has or plan to have a feature for that? Maybe this should be an issue on github?

    like others said, there are downsides to every approach. Browser based would probably be the most reliable though, the bar for going around it would require a separate device or someone knowing how to install a completely different OS, under the age of 18, without their parents knowledge.

    Which of course I knew how to do back in the days of Windows XP, but again that’s a very high bar for most people.

    I can see Lemmy taking an official approach of “We’ll wait for that” because otherwise it’s scanning IDs on one end of the spectrum and the other end is a button that says “Yeah I’m totally over 18”
