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?

According to this wikipedia article it is mandated for pornography in Germany and the UK. Interestingly enough some alcohol companies in the US also try to verify their users age to ship them alcohol… So yeah a pretty isolated problem I guess

While the UK government abandoned this legislation

The law never really became law, it was dropped before the enactment date by Boris (because he loves his porn too much)
