Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?

Why can’t people just ~~not~~ look at the name of the community and then easily conclude if it’s sexual content or gory content?
Edit: Seems my English skills fucked me over.
Real answer? Because technology could easily do it for you if people tag posts in OP’s proposed way. Just one less thing for a viewer to have to think about.
It would also allow for different filters. Blur NSFW, but not nsfl, or vice versa. Or even only show post of one and hide others entirely, without having to block communities by hand.
Sometimes NSFW images are appropriate in otherwise SFW communities. For instance, imagine a community on exterior design that had a post with a picture of that building in Germany with the five-story-high penis on it. Or a community for desktop themes that has a post with nudes wallpaper. Or a community about a certain celebrity that posts pictures of her car wreck.
What building in Germany has a 5-story-tall schlong?
This one maybe?
Search for "Friede sei mit Dir"
Then you would look at the community name and concluding that the image is about exterior design, but not something you should look at, at work.
I didn’t type my original post correctly.
Looking at pictures of external design is usually pretty safe to look at when you're at work. I imagine architects do it all the time.
I follow the Ukrainian war. Blocking all NSFW blocks so much of the news.
I want to block porn, not news.
So the Ukrainian war posts should be tagged as NSFL then?
The graphic ones should be. Videos of death and fighting, yes.
If it's just politics, general news, or Russia acting like a baby, no.
It would help differentiate from porn, yes.
Going back to reddit r/WTF often had posts with either gore or nudity (or both), as an example.
That’s a good example.
I think most instances doesn’t allow gore though.
Do we really need community names? I feel like we could just use the first line of the description
Osrs has f2p
It's an old name :P
