FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Only lemonparty (which then redirects to chaturbate) and the pedo image hosted in the pictrs of lemmy.world itself. I saw no evidence of anything else, as people said, it's a pretty oldschool type of hack to disturb not spread malware.

But I didn't dig that much further than that, and it's only a snapshot of what I gathered before it got fixed. I Ctrl+F "lemonparty" in view source and pasted the JSON in VScode and that's about it. Didn't dig much deeper if that was just a red herring.
