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?

If you do not know any website that does this, how do you know it is required in Germany? I have never heard of that

The thing is, that it is only required if the company is located in Germany. Thats why pornhub, a company run by Germans (afaik) does not have to do it... It was in the news multiple times, when the government tried to remove that condition so all porn sites accessed from Germany have to verify the age of the German visitors.
