After a week of blocking every porn sub I see I’m feeling defeated
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.
That’s the goal, yeah. Just using ‘all’ a lot right now to find active communities to subscribe to.
There’s a community called trendingcommunities that might be helpful if you’re looking for active communities

I’ll check it out, thanks
When I was on .ml there wasn’t really any porn at all. When I moved to .one it was like a golden shower of porn. Think I’ve blocked like 30 subs so far.
Iirc you need to make the change via the web interface rather than Memmy currently.
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.
This is how I feel blocking sports too.
Or all the shitpost meme communities… at least you can block porn with the NSFW flag.
Yep. Porn, sports and foreign language.
Along with the occasional location based ones that spam local news.
Same tbh. Saw some “fanatical” instance I’d love to block as well. Had a sub for every sports team and I was getting flooded yesterday
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.
Voyager has instance blocking.No it doesn'tI guess I was wrong. They added a feature to see an instances sidebar but not instance blocking.
Strongly agree. It’s a pretty basic feature that would give users a lot of agency over their experience. Apparently memmy has this in the works it just hasn’t been pushed to the App Store yet.
Thanks for the tip!
Haven't touched memmy in a couple of weeks but I'll give it another go if it beats voyager and liftoff to this feature.
I’m on memmy, not connect. I posted screenshots above of the ‘hide nsfw’ option not working
You can filter out instances with Memmy now, via Settings > Filters
You’re posting in the Memmy community. This feature has been added, at least on the TestFlight version.
I’m posting here because I use memmy. I’m just a normie here, I don’t know what TestFlight is or how to use it. I’m just going through the apple app store
Oh, well know it’s added and hopefully you get to experience it on the App Store soon.
Glad to hear it, will patiently suffer until then
This is one of those things that people have been asking for for forever (I hate that that's grammatically correct. That too) on Reddit. Would be really, really nice to have more specific NSFW tags
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
I'm on lemmy and i don't see porn. I'm honestly trying to remember if I've ever seen one on this account. Probably instance-related.
Yeah I’m not against switching instances from .world, but I’m also not looking forward to starting from scratch. I’ve already made a lot of progress curating this account
lemmy.blahaj.zone has defederated from lemmy.nsfw if you don't mind changing instances. The local tab has a lot of queer content tho if you're not into that (but you can just ignore that tab and use All or Subscribed, of course).
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 was literally coming to suggest this.
Please, please, please add this as a feature. I am getting an insane amount of porn and I’m actually wondering if it’s a byproduct of me having to open that community to block it…? The worst part of having to open the community page is that whilst the pictures in the threads are blurred, the community icon isn’t, and they are often NSFW also.
Like OP, I like to stay on all at the minute because I want to find new communities. It feels like blocking porn and sport communities has become a part-time job (mostly porn). No qualms about sport, it’s annoying but I’ll plod on, there’s a finite amount of teams in the world lol. The porn however is limitless…
As an aside, is there a limit to the amount of communities we can block?
I wonder if blocklists could become a thing to solve this
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
Yup, another chunk of my blocked communities are foreign language ones.
Wait until the weebs come here, and you have to block every subreddit for every character for every anime ever released.
I’ve already started that on here lmao. At least this time I’m getting a head start
you know, or just start using subscriptions instead of fighting with all
There's literally a toggle in the account settings that toggles whether you see nsfw posts lol
It doesn’t work.
It hasn’t worked since 0.1.0 released.
I haven't seen a single NSFW post since I've toggled it off. I have had to block a couple bot accounts that have been posting porn in comments, but that is a mod issue, not a Lemmy one.
Yeah, not sure. More than likely an intermittent or environment specific bug.
For me, nsfw content appears in my thread despite the toggle being enabled. It also appears blurred so it’s not like Memmy doesn’t know about it or anything.
I’ve reinstalled the app as well and that doesn’t help.
I guess I could just turn it off at the account level but there are sometimes nsfw content that isn’t straight porn. Even spoilers are marked as such and I would miss those posts. Which is why an instance blocking mechanism would be great.
Already have them both toggled thanks
I...haven't seen a single one. Is this a Lemmy thing? I'm on Kbin.social.
Hide nsfw is checked by default and even if we uncheck it, we can hide instances, so it kinda is a lemmy thing yeah.
Lemmy.world yeah
Why not just change the instance you’re a member of. A number of them have a no porn policy, so it all gets filtered at the instance level.
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 only view subscribed.
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.
Access the 'verse from KBIN, no porn in the feeds, at all, like civilized folk/ Fuck Lemmy.
I'm on Lemmy but I don't have porn neither. It depends o' the instance you are in I think. Experience may vary.
Have you tried crying like a little bitch?
Have you tried not being a useless cunt?
Every day and twice on sundays. Get better soon.<3
You too baby girl xoxo
