I’m blocking so many a day I think it’s giving me carpal tunnel, and I know it will never end. Porn is more infinite than the universe. Please dear god let me block lemmy.nsfw
You can also go in your lemmy profile and check that you want to hide all NSFW posts.
I do have the blur/hide options checked. But perhaps some posts are bypassing the hide function? I see lots of blurred porn posts still, and of course soft core is wide open
Here have some screenshots:
Wdym by soft core? I’ve never seen untagged nudity
I mean non-nude porn. For example a woman in a bikini with legs spread. No blurring occurs here, probably because people don’t mark it nsfw because it isn’t explicit nudity
Which is stupid. It stands for Not Safe For Work. That doesn’t just mean nudity, and I’m sure most employers wouldn’t want you looking at bikini-clad women whilst on the clock.
Edit: There were also plenty of subreddits that were completely text-based and still marked all posts NSFW. r/sex for example.
I would just filter to your subscribed content and not join instances with content like that. You’re probably never going to escape bikini-clad women if you’re filtering by all communities.
This is how I feel blocking sports too.
Yep. Porn, sports and foreign language.
Along with the occasional location based ones that spam local news.
Man idk what people are doing or if it’s because I am on lemmy.ml but man I never see or hardly ever porn communities. And I don’t have it blocked.
EDIT: It seems one of the rules of lemmy.ml is “No Porn” so I am gonna guess that that’s why. I mean that would apply to their communities but I guess they might be blocking the ones from other communities that have porn aswell.
Been gone for a few days but I am back. We have added filtering of whole instances so you’ll be able to do this now.
Just make an account on a server that doesn’t federate porn. Lemmy.ml or midwest.social don’t.
Lemmygrad doesn’t either, but it’s understandable if it’s not for you.
I’m on lemmy.world using connect and I haven’t seen a single porn post? I wonder why we are having such different experiences.
Voyager and lemmy.world here. Constant porn.
No I don’t want to turn off all NSFW because health/fitness and war reporting would disappear too. And it seems OP’s problem is that setting isn’t working in their client.
Instance blocking is absolutely required for lemmy to function, and hopefully mods will enforce keeping the incels in their own little instances.
You’re posting in the Memmy community. This feature has been added, at least on the TestFlight version.
Agreed. It’s too much fucking porn. It just clogs up the feed. If I want to look at porn I’m not going to look at pictures; this isn’t the 90s.
We need a way to filter all of this shit out.
i thought it was kinda silly when reddit blocked porn from the all & popular but holy shit do i appreciate it now. i’ve never seen my feed as bad as this. i’m getting so much that i will have 2-3 posts in a row from the same community.
It needs to be easier to block those communities.
I hate having to tap into a community in order to block it. If I don’t wanna see that shit, I definitely don’t want to have to see MORE of it in order to block it.
We should be able to long press on a post or community name from the main feed, and be able to block the community from that popup menu.
I think one of the bigger problems with the fediverse is that theres no way to mass filter content.
By default/main language would be a big one, porn second.
Language filtering would be damn helpful
I also am on kbin.social, and I do not even have the “Hide NSFW content” turned on, and I almost never see it. I haven’t had to block anything (maybe once?), and in the <1/1000 chance it pops up, it is blurred by default.
It can randomly show up in the Active People area though.
Lemmy/Kbin is a wild, uncharted frontier, still alpha version software and very much in active development, it does not just “take care of people” like Reddit and Twitter did - you may want to not browse it at work then. Also, even if you successfully blocked every single porn magazine, as you see a new one could come up and blow up your entire All feed at any point in time -> that approach was never going to be 100% successful.
So it may be worth the pain of switching to Kbin, b/c that will work? Note that you will lose everything that way - account migration is something promised but not yet implemented iirc - but you can still see all of the communities you subscribed to before, from the new server (you will just have to subscribe to all of them again, plus block all the others, like I unsub from every foreign-language one that I see).
I know right? What the hell? I’ve been on kbin for weeks and I barely saw a titty. I need to go create an alternate lemmy account
Have you tried crying like a little bitch?
Have you tried not being a useless cunt?
