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?

      One solution that could work in the future is that the personal device (computer or smartphone) could have the basic info that the owner is over 18 and therefore only give a “yes they are over 18” confirmation to the website without sharing any personal info.

      That is not necessary for age verification. You just have to go through a working verification process and then you just get the checkmark in the database. most sites that really verify your age use credit cards for that, which are of course sub par, because children can just take the cards from their parents, but it is better than nothing

        using your credit/debit card to verify your account is something that I also wouldn’t like to do. Same as using my ID

          Never heard of something like that. Do you have an example of a website which dies that?

            I can verify myself using my Id card and a terminal or via NFC. The app used is the middleware between software or website requesting verification and my ID. No data leaves my ID in direction to the software or website. The middleware just gives a thumbs up to the verification request.

            No sadly I don’t. I guess for most plattforms its just so much easier to not host the server in Germany/EU…

              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
