If you're looking for NSFW communities, Lemmyverse.net now provides a Show NSFW checkbox to help filter your search. Unlike a regular checkbox, however, this checkbox has three states.

By default when you visit Lemmyverse.net, the checkbox is unchecked. That means that any search you perform will exclude any community marked as NSFW.

Figure 1: The Show NSFW checkbox is unchecked, so no NSFW communities will be shown.

Clicking the checkbox once changes the filter to include both NSFW and SFW communities in the search result. This is indicated by a hyphen in the checkbox with a yellow background, as well as a tooltip if you over over it.

Figure 2: After clicking the Show NSFW checkbox once, NSFW communities will be included in search results alongside SFW communities.

Clicking the checkbox again will set the filter to display only NSFW communities. This is indicated by a checkmark in the checkbox with a red background. As before, a tooltip will also indicate the state of the filter.

Figure 3: After clicking the Show NSFW checkbox a second time, search results will be limited to displaying only NSFW communities.

As you may have guessed, you can click the checkbox again to uncheck the box and display only SFW communities again.

In closing, here is a note about NSFW communities on Lemmy. If you are using the Lemmy UI on desktop or mobile, there is a Show NSFW Content setting in your profile. You will need to have this setting enabled before you can view the posts in the NSFW communities you subscribe to. If you've had this setting turned off, just be aware that your Lemmy experience could dramatically change when you enable it, especially if you spend a lot of time on the All timeline on a busy Lemmy server.
