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?

Can we do this in a way that handles:

  • Accounts that were registered 18 years ago
  • Control of accounts elsewhere that were registered 18 years ago
  • Anybody who can sign something with an 18 year old key
  • Anybody who some ordinary humans can vouch for
  • Anybody who has a magic cookie from some kind of distributed system that does this
  • Anybody whose browser thinks they are 18

Determining that people are a certain age shouldn't be the magic power of enormous companies or government ID issuers.

The problem with this is that in most countries/most services, you cant legally have any accounts before you are a certain age like 13 or 16. Also, babies cant make accounts and people would just sell old ones.
