For the most part it's borderline child porn or stable diffusion spam. There should be an option to opt out of content from specific instances on account level.

Can't you stop it by unchecking the "Show NSFW content" option in Settings?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not all NSFW content is porn.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My biggest disappointment with Lemmy is that they didn't fix the glaring problem of NSFW vs NSFL, or more tags.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That's the issue I have with blocking NSFW too. I don't want to see porn, but there is NSFW stuff I do want to see. You're forced to throw the blanket over everything, regardless of what it is.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Then it hides non-porn content too, which i might want?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I hit that when signing up, and I haven't seen a damn thing. It's a checkbox.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

At the very least you can blur NSFW images in the settings

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Have you tried browsing by "Subscribed" instead of "all"? It'll only show content from communities you're subscribed to, like the old Reddit frontpage

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do all, show nsfw on a Lemmy.world account and get zero porn.

I generally do top 12 hours or I get days old stuff. That could be it? Or maybe he's just scrolling a lot farther than I am.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sorting by new/new comments is a lot of porn and memes on Lemmy.world

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

All is a good place to find leads for subscribed. Browsing communities seemed to be limited to the instance.

There's literally several preventative measures you can take to never see nsfw content again. This is not one of them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

These people just want to make noise and get people riled up about porn on Lemmy, their problems are entirely unserious or they would have checked the box everyone sees when they make an account.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It seems like there is an effort to get NSFWLemmy shut down or at least so defederated that it may as well be it's own separate part of the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I'm just going to say... "All" isn't your feed. It is everything people on your instance have subscribed to. So, what you are saying is that the other people on the instance are subscribed to too much NSFW content. I'm not sure that individuals should get to police that.

"Subscribed" is your feed. Include or exclude whatever content you wish. You can blur NSFW if you want to browse all without seeing anything you don't like.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Why not subscribe to the stuff you want to see and then only filter by subscribed? I honestly find it strange that people don't do this by default.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Or local as well. Your instance could have more on it than you are subscribed to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

This is exactly what I do! Unfortunately, when I first log into Lemmy or Kbin, despite me having my settings set to show me only subscribed stuff by default, it totally ignores that setting (and what communities I’ve blocked) and just shows me the equivalent of /all on kbin or on that Lemmy server. You can get back to only seeing subscribed things by refreshing, but at that point the damage has been done, the NSFW has already popped up on your screen and you have to refresh to take it away. Seems just in the realm of “annoying” except for the fact that some people also have their defaults set to subscribed in an effort to avoid ragebait or triggering content.

There’s a codeberg issue for this on kbin already, so just have to wait for it to be addressed. Not sure if Lemmy has an equivalent issue on their GitHub (or whatever they use) yet.

I do not have the same problem as OP. Probably because when I made my accounts, if there was an option to disable NSFW (or not enable NSFW) I made sure to have NSFW disabled/not enabled.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This doesn't seem to happen on lemmy. And even if it did, my "All" filter is all memes.

Then block them?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (5 children)

ALL is not your feed and shouldn't be treated as such. SUBSCRIBED is your feed one and only feed.

Gee it's almost like people don't bother to explore their settings when they use a new site or app

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You could use this to find an instance which blocks lemmynsfw.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can also check with /instances endpoint i.e.

lemmy.world/instances

Username does not check out

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is clearly a troll post

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Just block it? Do you really browse c/all without filtering out unwanted communities?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Switch to Kbin. You can already block by domain on there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The current kbin domain block doesn't really work well as an instance block. What it does is block any post linking to that specific domain. It will block a nsfwlemmy user posting images to their own instance, but it won't block lemmy.world or lemmy.ml user posts there as they link to their own respective domains instead. It also won't block any post from that instance linking to a 3rd party domain either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

kbin has different problems. There is a "random" magazine that is just a collection of random posts, and it is featured on the sidebar with no option to turn it off. It sometimes randomly features porn.

Make an account on lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Jerboa has an option you can select to not view NSFW content. It's in the profile settings.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use Memmy and have a porn account and a non-porn account. On the non-porn account, I block any porn communities that show up in the All feed and eventually I stop seeing them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Really? I've blocked so many, but more keep getting created. It's like chopping heads off a hydra.

It's pretty impressive how oddly specific they can get.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Username checks ou.. username does not check out. On a more serious note, Connect for Lemmy has the option to block instances at an account level.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are plenty of Lemmy instances that blocked those porn instances. Just join one of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good advice. GitHub has a list of instances with columns showing instance details including whether it allows NSFW content.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I'm using Connect for Android and I just tap the options for the post and I can block the user, community, or instance. Lemmynsfw was the first one I blocked and I haven't seen anything since.

Also, apropos of nothing else,when you block a user, you still get an option to see their comments (it'll come up as this user was blocked) but then you click thru to see it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

There is not yet an option to block instances in the web frontend. Neither does Jerboa
