EDIT: Added a few more tips for porn posters here

Boy! Big day! Lotsa new cumbrains here in the house that Eggbug built, huh? With all the new faces, I felt I'd do a little PSA with some things to keep in mind when delivering and/or consuming your smut.

First off, for anyone who doesn't want porn on their TL or has specific things you don't want to see when consuming porn:

  • IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ADULT CONTENT AT ALL: Go into your settings and make sure "hide adult content behind a clickthrough?" is toggled on! If you see adult content that doesn't have the toggle turned on, you can either report it so staff can turn it on, or just drop the person a comment letting them know to turn it on.
  • IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC CONTENT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE: Go into your settings and fill out the "filtered content warnings" and "filtered tags" sections, which should take care of most if not all of the risky stuff.
  • IF YOU'RE THE SORT OF PERSON WHO SIFTS THROUGH PEOPLE'S FOLLOWING LISTS OR LIKES SEARCHING FOR EVIDENCE OF THOUGHTCRIME: Fuck you! Following lists and likes are private! Genuinely, go fuck yourself! If you don't like the porn other people are posting, you're 100% free to mute or block them, but if your goal in coming to Cohost is to cosplay as some kind of cop-ass moral majority agitator, fuck off!

Now, for people posting 18+ content:

  • FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE COMMUNITY GUIDELINES: I promise they're a very quick read. The tl;dr is that as far as 18+ content goes, almost anything goes for written content (with appropriate tags), and the only restrictions on art are that you can't post anything featuring characters who are "apparently minors" (more on that below). Definitely familiarize yourself with the stuff under the strongly-recommended and mandatory content warnings sections.
  • IF YOU'RE POSTING A MIX OF SFW & NSFW, MAKE SURE YOUR NSFW HAS THE "ADULT CONTENT" TOGGLED ON: Pretty self-explanatory. Keeps glossy high-definition PNGs of tittyfucking from popping up on someone's feed when they're browsing the site from a public computer at work.
  • TAG YOUR KINKS, ESPECIALLY THE HARD ONES: Noncon, blood, gore, incest, and the like - all these are allowed, just make sure you tag them so that people with those tags muted can keep their TLs clear (and so your work can find its intended audience).
  • ART FEATURING "APPARENTLY MINORS": What this translates to in my understanding (based on conversations I've had with staff members) is that 18+ art of minor characters as-is is no bueno but good-faith aging-up of characters is alright. Obviously this is one area where certain arbitrary judgment calls might be made, but staff aren't really interested in consulting wikis about precise character ages - my advice is to use the "reasonable clueless person" rule when deciding whether to post something. Would a reasonable person unfamiliar with the characters think that they're minors or adults? If it's the latter, you're probably good. There's a chance your stuff might still get taken down if staff disagree, but generally speaking as long as you're being reasonable you should be fine.

No, it's not on the App Store or Play Store. This is by design.

You know the thing where NSFW creators, models, artists, etc. ask for protections so that they can make a living and not be impacted by bullshit regulations? This is why. Cohost is a NSFW-friendly site meaning that if it had an App, it would have to abide by (literally only) Apple's rules. Apple hates porn and it does not want it on its app store. It's why Twitter has insane rules around hiding it and why Discord makes you toggle NSFW servers on Desktop manually. Remember when Tumblr banned porn and everyone left? It was almost entirely because of this. To avoid this happening here, there is no native app.

Also the team is four people and it would take more than that to maintain an iOS, Android, and web experience that is consistent across the board.

However, you can very easily add Cohost to your Home Screen like an app. Here's how!

iOS

Open cohost.org in Safari and click the Share button at the bottom. (It's the middle one.) In that list, click Add to Home Screen. That's it!

Now just log in, and you're set.

Android

For Chrome users, open cohost.org and tap the three dots/hamburger menu. (I don't know what it looks like, I'm not on Android sorry.) From there, select Add to Home Screen.

For Firefox users, open cohost.org, tap the hamburger menu and select "Install".

Now just log in, and you're set.

Finished!

Now you have Eggbug on the go! The Cohost mobile site was built to functionally work like an app and the features are identical to the website. Enjoy!
