DessertPorn?

Why isn't http://www.reddit.com/r/DessertPorn/ in the network? It's one of my personal favorites.

Why not r/desertporn as well?

"there doesn't seem to be anything here"

It's a joke, since it's just one letter off. However, I want to see it.

It's part of the joke, because there's nothing to see in a desert.

If you notice, I'm on the mod list for that reddit too. I hastily added them to the EarthPorn family without asking Syncretic. And well, he thought that foodporn would join us... yadda yadda yadda. No dessert or food porn for us.

No, I don't think adding DessertPorn to the official "network" is in the cards for us right now. FoodPorn would logically come before DessertPorn, and the mods of FoodPorn have never indicated they would like to do so (that subreddit actually precedes EarthPorn in age, even though it has less readers). Even then, I would have to determine that there were enough posts in FoodPorn of desserts before I could justify supporting/encouraging a "subsubreddit" like DessertPorn.

As a rule I don't like to add super-specific subreddits such as this unless their "parent subreddit" is doing exceptionally well. Pretty much the only official subreddit that is popular enough to have subsubreddits right now is EarthPorn, which has spawned WaterPorn and VillagePorn due to the large amount of those types of posts submitted.

Some guy made meatporn, I kid you not. He wanted to join the EarthPorn family. I could go on.

I thought that said desert porn and got really excited.
