First a timeline of my experience:
June 4th 2022 - This is where I decided to create my adult channel called "Small, Flaccid girl dick", the title being a play on popular group called "Thick Throbbing Girl Cocks", creating the channel created a comments chat I didn't pay any attention to for a while. I at some point moved the attached comment chat from the default one to a new one called "Girldick Eatout Lounge".
June 27th 2022 - This is when people started chatting, the first two member to join are still with us today. I added the first rules this day not expecting many people to come
Respect admins and everyone else.
Keep the content to girls with either really small and or flaccid little cocks
No extreme subjects (gore, scat, etc...)
Do not flood the room with images 10 max at a time.
Any IRL content must only contain people over the age of 18
September 30th 2022 - I separated the chat group "Girldick Eatout Lounge" from the "Small, flaccid girldicks" channel
I was pretty naive at this point but everything ran smooth for a while, There was some drama around mid 2023, most the drama came from a couple of polycules that had joined but nothing major.
August 21st 2023 - I created the "The Girldick and Boypussy Lounge" to replace the "Girldick Eatout Lounge" and have topics to help separate out personal venting, meme posting and medical discussions and with far more comprehensive rules.
This chat is still running today and although still small at 133 members is still very active and self sustaining as a community.
April 24th 2024 - I reattached the very first comment chat group made in June 4th 2022 back to the channel and I started posting a lot more images to the channel again.
April 3rd 2025 - over the previous year people had mostly been chatting in "The Girldick and Boypussy Lounge", but this was the day people started chatting in the "The Girldick and Boypussy Lounge Chat"
May 2025 - This is around the time "The Girldick and Boypussy Lounge Chat" exploded in members, going from around 60 to 254 in chat, the channel went from about 200 to 1,200 at the time of writing this.
Summary of Experiences and advice:
Making a channel can be fun, making one for transgender related porn has challenges, a lot of them the main issues I came across were:
Chasers and fetishists - this is to be expected in a way, your dealing with porn, even if you are trying to focus on a more realistic element of it. My solution, I have admin approval turned on and I do check for several things before accepting people, do they have an avatar, do they have a bio and is it furry, trans or not a common copy/paste format, are they in any other groups and have they posted in those?
Relationship Drama - Transgender couples/polycules are some of the most wholesome and amazing ones i have come across... when they go bad or there is drama between members of them tho it can spiral fast. My solution, I dont have an easy one for this, I try talking to them in private first but a couple of times I have had to just remove individuals or groups.
Scammers / Spammers and bots - These seem to come in waves and are a pain in the ass but usually easy to spot as an admin. they will have phone numbers that dont fit the profiles, photos of other peoples fursuits, AI art, basic bios that just dont fit for furries or trans people. Judging based on one of these never works, you need to use your judgement with all the information you can get, even then I have let some in who turned out to be scammers.
You should be as active as you can in your groups and support members, generally they will reach a point where you can be more hands off and just enjoy being there joining in as you wish and moderating things as they happen.
If you find your chat becoming more stressful than its worth, talk to the members about it, warn them and close it if you have to. Always put your mental well-being first, running a social group can take a toll on anyone and a stressed chat owner can make everyone else there miserable.
