I guess they haven't discovered the button to block communities?

My feed is quite nice after blocking the stuff that doesn't appeal to me.

[-] bricks@lemmy.world 81 points 1 year ago

Same. Block is a key feature. That said, I’m actually fascinated at how many furry communities there are. You’d think blocking c/furry would take care of 90% of the problem, but who knew c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair had such a dedicated following.

c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair

(It isn't really, but I do like those Eames chairs...)

I don't think it's a bad thing that people complain about problematic viewpoints, even if they can block them.

[-] hoodatninja@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Being a furry is a problematic viewpoint?

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Some people might actually think that and I find that hilarious

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The inside of those fursuits must smell awful.

Lmao that’s a comically specific /c/

The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 year ago

Create two accounts, one with NSFW content turned off, and one with it on.

[-] Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

Why's that? I've been using a separate account for porn on reddit for over a decade. It's the only way to go imo

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

That's why we need some 3rd party apps to make swapping amounts seamless.

[-] WaltJRimmer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Or just make a NSFW-less account on one instance and a NSFW-ful account on a different instance. You don't even need to log out of one to switch to the other. Just change the URL slightly.

[-] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 9 points 1 year ago

Voyager does this pretty well.

[-] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

It's pretty seamless on Jerboa. I've got this account on lemmy.one and a different account on lemmynsfw. Works great.

I'd like it if an app could be configured to automatically use specific accounts for specific communities, or automatically use an account from the same instance when posting to communities on that instance.

You could just browse your subscribed communities instead of All.

[-] frooch@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

hard to find new communities without using All

[-] Fish@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago
[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I agree, I mean I still mainly browse All. However that's always going to be the price you pay. You want everything, you get everything.

[-] Lars34@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Problem is that the website and clients never remember that I want Subscribed to be the default.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That's lemmy.world for you lol

[-] Lilium@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

You can change that in your profile settings, and I'd imagine most apps as well.

[-] Lars34@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I know, problem is that this is never remembered and is reset back to All every time.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

I’m so confused by posts like this. I see very little porn stuff on /all/. How are so many others seeing it everywhere?

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Some instances block it

[-] rwhitisissle@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Am I the only one who, like...never sees any porn in their feeds?

[-] GeneralBoop@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I’d like to block entire servers myself. But I can’t find a way to block the whole nsfw one. Individual communities yes, but I’d like to not see the whole server.

[-] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

Just move to an instance that has defederated from major nsfw instances.

[-] GeneralBoop@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

It would be nice if there was a directory that made it clear what server has defederated what.

Fragmentation and the lack of continuity and good navigation is seriously going to be what kills any chance a federated Reddit alternative has at becoming even 25% as large as Reddit was.

[-] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can see what an instance has defederated by adding /instances to the URL of the instance. There's no way to see it for more than one instance (at a time) as far as I know, so yeah, have to agree with you.

[-] abraxas@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the only way defederation is a feature is if there's a way (even if it's standardized at the client-side) to merge that defederation for those who want a cohesive experience.

It'd almost be better if every user could pick their own "federations" instead of it being at the server level. Obviously the servers need to have that control and my hypothetical might not be in throwing range of what lemmy can/should do.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I read earlier today that at least one instance is defederated from lemmynsfw so you can try making an account on that/one of those..

One of the nice things you can do on kbin, but I don’t think you can on Lemmy yet

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Use a different instance, some block it

You can also hide the NSFW content entirely, but some people are never happy.

Never happy

[-] Mercival@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Some phone apps do not support that feature. Couldn't find it in Memmy for Lemmy for example, so I bounced.

You can of course always do it through the web interface.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Memmy has it. Tap the community name and then the three dots in the top right. “Block community” will pop up as an option.

I’ve been using it to block Anime/Manga/Hentai communities as fast as they make ‘em. It’s never-ending with that stuff.

[-] Mercival@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Good to know, must have missed that. Memmy felt a bit glitchy on my device, so I'm trying out Liftoff! now.

I'm expecting there will be a bit of a development boom with the increased interest, so it's always good to keep tabs on what the other apps have to offer.

[-] Hazzard@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I've just been browsing with NSFW turned off, but: A) I actually would rather turn on the blur function if there wasn't literal porn throughout the "all" feed. B) A bunch of mild soft core stuff like "pretty women" and "celebs" gets through anyway.

Can't believe it never occurred to me to use the block button to shape the all feed.
