What good habits would you like to see enforced in LemmyNSFW communities?
Don't take the short title too seriously; I could have said 'encouraged' instead of 'enforced', 'rules' instead of 'habits', whatever.
The point being, this is still a relatively small and young site where cultural change is possible. This opportunity doesn't often come back. So, what culture do we want to have here?
Opening example: some sites require as a rule that a posted image must have a source or actor name given if it's not OC. Myself, I sometimes intentionally avoid any compilation videos which don't give sources, because I know it will take me down a hours-long rabbithole of discovery. Sourcing is already a global Community Guideline here, which is good to see.

Take tgis as you will, since I block the image and video based C/s from this instance (I'm not against them, just don't want them in my feed, and don't have a use for them).
But, I think that those kind of C/s should have some kind of tag system that's instance wide to make for easier filtering for the folks that do have a use for nudes and porn. Like, the obvious tags would be like M/F/TM/TF for the most common gender and genital type combos. Then have a few for the bigger kinks, like BDSM/BOND/EXTREME/CNC, or whatever would be useful over time. Those are just examples off the top of my head, not any kind of "these must be there, like that" type of thing.
Tags make any image and video community easier to navigate via apps that have such ability to filter, and afaik, searches can find them when they're in [brackets]. So filtering in and out are both possible with the same system of tags.
Doesn't even matter if C/s opt out of using them, so long as there's an instance wide standard for formatting and whatever characters are used.
I think [tagging] would be good, even if it's not currently supported on Lemmy.
Like my bio says, I love a good bunch of tags. Less commercialized communities like the drawn porn ones have a culture of using booru sites (Japanese for 'board'), where posts don't have titles but just have tags. If the board has a decent culture and uploaders tag half-decently, it's an infinitely better experience to a tube site or a reddit-like aggregator where you just have clickbait titles competing and maybe a [M/F] tag if you're lucky. On a high-quality booru, you can simply just search like
solo female facepaint -clown.My point being, that a site like this just isn't ideal. Tagging will always be a coping mechanism. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, but it's an uphill battle. Even on some video tube sites I've seen with a tagging system at its very core, it's neglected to the point that it's worthless even for basic fetishes. Here, you'd need an automoderator or a dedicated moderator to enforce basic sex tags in titles.

Mods can't edit posts here, even to add things like the nsfw flag, so it would definitely need some strong moderation.
The admins of this site have added some basic mods onto the default Lemmy code (like nfsw-by-default), but I don't think they'd want to develop tags as its own feature.
Explain all your abbr's please.
