USA is going full Handmaid's Tale to outlaw pornography by defining "obscenity" in the broadest possible terms and OP is conflating that with a sudden apparent disappearance of significant amounts of NSFW content on Lemmy wondering if instances potentially hosted in the USA are trying to get ahead of it by removing/defederating such content, which is honestly probably plausible.
Edit: For what it's worth, I'm outside USA and using an outside-USA instance and I don't see any difference in lemmynsfw.com or elsewhere, so if this is legitimately happening and not just a brief technical hiccup, it's probably either related to lemmy.world (judging by everybody here being from lemmy.world) or geoblocked in the USA specifically.
I don't think it will pass this time... but people were telling me roe v Wade was safe when I was raising alarms a decade ago and now look where we are. The theocrats and facists mean what they say and they're way more persistent and capable than people give them credit for.
It's entirely possible there's an issue with lemmynsfw.com that either has screwed up federation, or the majority of their content. I'm at work so I can't investigate right now but I'd bet it'll be fixed by the end of the day
I also noticed this. Mine are not disabled in settings. Seems like they all disappeared a day or two ago. Going into their communities shows no posts there. None are showing up in the regular feeds.
I did a quick “NSFW” search and can confirm there are recent (as in 1-2 hours old) nsfw posts and they are viewable. I did not search for communities, just posts.
Edit: clicking the community shows it empty even though new posts exist.
There is also a good chance you're instanced blocked lemmynsfw.com and any other instance that allows NSFW content. Laws on this stuff very greatly around the world and these folks who voluntarily offer a fedi server around the globe don't want to risk being held responsible, particularly if someone posts child porn on a different instance and because of how ActivityPub works that trash ends up being stored on the server in your closet.
If OP had changed anything themself, they would probably not have asked. I do confirm that for me the content of nsfw communities became invisible today.
I'd say it's an issue with lemmy.world, as the federated page lemmy.world/c/communityname@lemmynsfw.com does also show no posts when opened in a browser. Browsing it directly from lemmynsfw.com/c/communityname works.
Also could've accidentally blocked the instance. Have you checked your settings, OP? Some clients let you block entire communities and servers from the feed.

Lol this bill will never pass, and there's still plenty of NSFW content available on Lemmy.

Just like all the other horrible shit that's happened that "will never happen" amirite
FaceDeer@fedia.io · 13 pts · 1y
Yeah. It's not like rich people will have trouble accessing their favourite flavors of pornography regardless of the laws.

Not according to me, I've had a pretty good track record of predicting what will and won't happen with this administration.

If I had a quarter for every bill that passed that was "unpassable" I would have a pocket of quarters.

When I visit a community, I can see the total number of posts, but the main screen tells me nothing is there. What happened?
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org · 1 pts · 1y
I am not seeing this from me end. Everything seems fine?

Not on my end, but, I am on the lemmyNSFW instance. I can still see all the porn that I subscribed too.

Very confused. it's visible to me. Not a single issue. Perhaps it's an issue with a specific app?
Newton1642@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
I'd say it's an issue with lemmy.world, as the federated page
lemmy.world/c/communityname@lemmynsfw.comdoes also show no posts when opened in a browser. Browsing it directly fromlemmynsfw.com/c/communitynameworks.Edit: It works again now.
