Well, Lemmy users lately are reddit users. These users have been doing their best to turn Lemmy into what they recognize from reddit. And as everyone knows reddit users are porn sick.
Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

Even the ancient days of usenet were full of smut
I kind of miss those old Usenet days. Being 16 and waiting most of the night for a picture to load was great.
Back when I made sure to download the progressive JPEG, because loading single line top to bottom was hell. Unless there was a chance that the phone would be picked up, then I wanted regular JPEG, because then when I lost connection I still would have most of a picture.
You never knew what you were going to get.
In the early 90s, when I was a teen, I accessed the internet through the computer lab, downloaded tons of porn at a higher rate, uploaded the pics to local BBSes, got a huge ratio, downloaded tons of pirated games and had lots of porn. I was a genius back then. Not so much now.
Some days it would take ten whole minutes to download a handcrafted ascii art boob.
Lemmy is, very specifically, a Reddit clone.
