Reddit has been banning smaller porn subreddits in preparation for its upcoming public IPO. As a result, we have the opportunity to import the content of those subreddits from the archives.

I understand the desire to do this but I would prefer we didn’t. Would rather cultivate a community around original content rather than possibly getting a reputation as a reddit mirror.
I second this. You can’t just take someones nudes or artwork and repost them on a different site in order to boost your stats/traffic. That’s scummy as hell and will drive away content creators which are what makes reddit porn special.
Don’t cater to the audience, cater to the creators. The audience will then come.
Definitely a valid argument. I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to reach out to mods of reddit porn subs (via the ‘message the mods’) feature and politely suggest that they consider moving to lemmy. Here’s a message that I typed up that I intend to send to a couple subreddits:
Interesting. Joshua’s message to one of my subs is what informed me of lemmynsfw.
Thanks @joshuaacasey@lemmy.world , your method works 👍
we gotta start somewhere though! NSFW subs are filled with lurkers, some of whom start posting eventually - without any content (original or not), nobody will come!
