hell of a time to join the site lmao, welcome
if it's not a dunk and more about posting your experience, you should be fine in the main community as long as there's a NSFW tag and any needed content warnings, usually formatted like "Post Title [CW: warning, other warning]"
c/chapotraphouse is the main and generic community
we also have a c/main community but it's kinda an inside joke about people complaining about the main community not being named main
if you do end up dunking currently the communities for that are c/gossip for famous people dunking, and c/counterpropaganda for not famous people dunking, the sidebar rule about having to refute the post in counterpropaganda is currently being waivered as the mods work out the new "heckle at bad fuckin takes" comm
Thank you this is helpful. Is there a list of common content warning labels used here? Do people block/ban certain CW keywords so they don’t see those posts, or do they just look at the post title and not click the post if they don’t want to see that type of content?
The latter. As long you tag your stuff appropriately I don’t think you’ll see a problem.
For comments you can use the spoiler function.

It’s the exclamation mark button in the little bar above where you type your commentThank you!
Speaking of formatting, if you see a comment with interesting formatting and want to know how they did it, you can click the "view source" button at the bottom of the comment
i don't think there's a list, ones i've seen:
content warnings
any sort of bigotry, sexism, racism, ableism, queerphobia or any other -phobia, slurs, SA or sexual violence, abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse, death, suicide/suicidal ideation, self-harm, mental health, animal cruelty, and meat usually if it's in the post's picture, i've seen a cw: disturbing tooi think it's more the latter where people don't click/expand the post if they don't want to see the content
Thank you!
