For those who don't know the original reason LemmyNSFW went down: Xaeg/Yay was the owner of LemmyNSFW, and he had access to and paid for the domain, server, and everything else related to the site. He had been AWOL for about 6 months, and suddenly in mid February of 2026, the server and the domain stopped being paid for. I had no access to the server to get the database.
Because of this, it appeared LemmyNSFW as it was, and all the content on it, had died.
So I created FediNSFW.app to be the replacement! It is a piefed instance instead of a lemmy one because if there’s one thing NSFW content benefits from it’s good moderation tools and flairs, and piefed has those things.
now, back to the new update:
How is LemmyNSFW online now?
Xaeg finally responded! he gave me access to a backup of the site and ownership of the domain!
What does this change?
tldr: LemmyNSFW is now an archive, FediNSFW.app is the new fully running instance, You will need to create a new account
Fedinsfw.app will continue to run as a normal piefed instance, and lemmynsfw will be an archive for the foreseeable future. It is just too much work and cost to manage two instances and all their storage and cost right now. Additionally piefed's advanced moderation and community options are just a much better fit for a NSFW instance like this.
Hopefully this solution feels like "the best of both worlds" so to speak: This way you can view the posts you've made and even crosspost old posts to fedinsfw.app if you'd like, while also benefiting from the awesome piefed features.
