You could disable NSFW in your profile or use a service like lemmyverse.net to find communities to subscribe to.
Is nsfw specifically for porn or is it like Reddit where it was used for anything anyone might find offensive or inappropriate anywhere? I hesitate to block all nsfw content on the fediverse for fear of missing legitimate content.
From what I've seen NSFW tags are implemented similarly to reddit, however from browsing all and not having NSFW blocked the majority of the posts are porn/nudity.
I've been blocking NSFW communities that I don't want to see while browsing all which has been working fairly well.
I like how the app Jerboa can handle NSFW, I have it set to show the post, but blur the image, which makes it easier to decide if it is something I want to look at or not.
It would be nice if we could have a tag specifically for nudity and/or porn.
There were a few times on r/stablediffusion where I clicked on something nsfw expecting nudity or something, and was instead greeted by extremely gory eldritch abominations.
Having separate tags for boobs vs nsfl would indeed be nice
Like a subcategory for NSFW - nudity, extreme violence, porn, death (aka NSFL), etc.
Preferable all of the above. It's not because I'm looking at anime boobs that I want to find myself looking at something like goro (if you don't know what that is already, you probably won't want to look it up).
So... my curiosity got the best of me and I googled "goro" and it pulled up Mortal Kombat and I feel like I might have dodge a bullet thanks to the recent game release and opted to not dig any further. Also, anyone remember the heyday of r/spacedicks?
Damn straight I remember spacedicks. Who was the lord of spacedicks? The guy from Prince of Bellaire. And you had to comment in caps the word FAGGOT. Crazy subreddit
You absolutely dodged a bullet. It's one of those things I suggest people never find out about. Only reason I know about it is because of a certain good hentai site (good for quantity) with bad filters (see: none) and I didn't realise until it was too late.
Never heard of r/spacedicks but with the context of how you brought it up, I don't think I want to know 😂
I guess my instance doesn't federate because browsing all I don't see anything nsfw. NSFW is on though.
Yes, you're right. I personally leave NSFW toggled on and go ahead to manually block every single community I don't want to see.
Think this is what i’m looking for… how are you blocking communities? thanks!
It depends on the client your using, but most the time you need to fill to the communities page then block it there
I'm using Jerboa and it has a button to block the community.
Visit the community on the web interface and click on the red button:
Most mobile clients work the same. There's usually a context menu within the community that you can pop up and where you'll find that option.
Doesn't help when some twat doesn't mark it nsfw.
Two things you can do: disable being shown nsfw altogether, and browse communities that exist to help you find communities (like !newcommunities@lemmy.world )
My block list for anime/nsfw is getting ridiculous
Someone should create a masterlist of nsfw communities and create anotherscript that blocks them lul
Being able to block instances as a user (not defed but just hide all their communities) would be helpful
Theres a few specific ones I am constantly blocking communities from (nsfw/porn, anime, furry, sports)
Yeah :) I am already on a simple script to mass block communities ;)
Update: https://github.com/Pdzly/lemmy-block-script
Its a bit techy, but somewhat straightforward. Simply put in the communities names and you have to get your jwt_token from a request you made to lemmy ;)
Added a nsfw community list to it. and i am open if you have a list of nsfw or bad communities
My current fix is just subscribing to a lot of communities and using all less. The other option is to uncheck nsfw but that of course blocks non nudity stuff too.
I do the same. Back on Reddit I always used r/all, but here that just doesn't look to be viable at the moment.
Maybe they can do something similar to reddit which is a popular tab by default. Basically just all with the nsfw and fringe stuff removed.
I mean you weren't using unfiltered all were you? You at least blocked the shit that bothered you the most?
Yeah of course, but with how messed up the filter options are on lemmy right now all sorts of stuff show up. At least with r/all it had to be popular.
It won’t be like this forever, simply growing pains of a brand new rapidly growing platform.
I totally don't have that problem on kbin. I can also just view my subbed "Magazines".
Do you use an app to browse kbin on ios? I couldn’t get wefwef to take my Kbin account.
On iOS, you can just use Safari, and “add kbin to home screen.” This creates a shortcut to kbin on your home screen, but it also allows you to use kbin like an app. The website has an amazing UI through safari that feels like a native app you purchased in the App Store. I’ll attach a screenshot to this comment for you to see.
Thank you — this is what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I still think there’s a need for an app… this browser stuff is glitchy. It logs me out automatically, I can’t add multiple accounts, my keyboard loads all funky sometimes, and media needs to be manually expanded.
Being able to block entire instances is a feature that I’m surprised isn’t in the works. It would be simpler to block 2 instances than to block a hundred communities.
It is on kbin. Go to kbin.social/d/[instanceaddress], then in the righthand column is a block symbol, exactly like blocking a magazine or a user
@Doxix Honestly just moving to a different instance instead of lemmy.world should do it; many of them do not federate with NSFW instances or if they do they federate with a limited selection of them. I haven't checked in awhile, but when I was looking for what Kbin/Lemmy instance to join lemmy.world federates with everything except for two instances, which is asking for trouble.
Personally I just use the search function at the top of the website or in Memmy to look for keywords and hope for a match.
Also as others have said you can block NSFW stuff which should help.
Thanks all for the search suggestions! Will play around with them when I get some free time.
Does anybody know a good way to search for a community within an instance? Let’s say i find c/fake community on a non-world Lemmy instance. How do I pull that up from my account on Lemmy.World so i can subscribe to it?
There are a few userscripts and browser extensions that massively help with this.
I use Lemmy Link, but here are some other lemmy extensions. And also check out this community, /c/plugins@sh.itjust.works
For most you just search on lemmy.world and communities on other instances show up.
~~Otherwise use !community@instance to find something.~~
Actually, just enter the url of the community in search.. then it should find it and then you subscribe in the sidebar.
I don't like to browse All timeline. You can search community using tools like browse feddit, Lemmyverse or others to search community. Then you can aggresively subscribe any community you fancy. After that you can never open All timeline.
There are no algorithm to give you a good community to subscribe on All timeline. It is just amalgation of all subs your instance-mate subscribe to. And given you are in .world, all kinds of people exist here, hence All timeline filled with weird things.
You could look at something like !newcommunities@lemmy.world (apologies if that link doesn't work, it's my first time doing this) so you can pre-check what a community is about.
I've been using Connect for Lemmy for a few days now and it helped me a lot with finding instances I wanted to follow.
Not sure, I've had to block communities and users individually. Not sure why futa/furry/hentai/AI porn are default.
You could try finding an instance that isn't porn-friendly. The one I'm currently using (https://dmv.social) asks users not to subscribe to any NSFW communities, which prevents those communities from showing up in my All feed.
