There definitely needs to be a way to block an entire instance(or whatever they’re called, please let me know I’m new) my feed is flooded with post to communities on lemmynsfw
Uncheck the “show NSFW” on your lemmy.world (etc) instance and then it won’t show up in your feed
That’s not exactly what I’m looking for either. Not all NSFW posts are actual porn. That’s why it’s be preferable to just ban the porn instances.
But thanks for the suggestion.
growing pains of the new platform for sure. I find that I haven’t missed much with my main account not allowing the nsfw settings as of yet. Id prefer the scrolling experience and finding new communities in the “all” page with the porn being disabled.
Sir. The internet is for porn.
An easy solution is to join an instance that has defederated from the nsfw instances. I don’t have a link but it’s easy to search for.
I’m not seeing them at Kbin but it could be that my account has it blocked by default over here.
Another way is just follows the communities that you want explicitly to follow and only show the post from subscribed communities.
That’s what I do.
I would do that but I like finding new communities.
Agreed. It’s too “early days” to not be able to find new communities.
Connect for Lemmy can block entire instances
Isnt there a setting to block nsfw content?
Only an option to Hide and Blur as far as I can find.
And this doesn’t work if the post isn’t marked nsfw as I have the hide nsfw on am I still see nsfw posts.
I’ve gotten tired of blocking the ones that come up on my hot feed. I don’t mind that there is porn, I just don’t want any of it showing up while I’m scrolling with family around or at work. Hell, even with friends around it would be awkward.
Memmy allows you to hide nsfw
Yes but this would be all NSFW posts, not just porn.
It also allows you to block communities that are porn-specific, which helps a ton.
Can you tell me how to get to that? Is it in settings or do you have to have the instance up?
When you have the community up that you want to block, the “…” in the top-right corner brings up the option to block the community:
The only tedious part is that you actually have to go to the community itself, but you get used to it 🙂
I’m running into the same issue as you. I wish we had different NSFW tags for different content. NSFW for porn, NSFL for gore/violence, NSFWM(ild) (or something similar) for text/not necessarily full blown porn. It would make filtering much easier. Using just the one tag has been counterproductive.
Voyager PWA has an option to disable all NSFW. Does memmy have that option? Its been a while since I’ve been on that app.
You can block instances or just nsfw with connect for lemmy. I’m not sure about the other options.
Yeah. That stuff needs to be blocked by default on all instances until they can get this sorted out.
I wonder if they have the same rules about marking nsfw on a nsfw instance? I wonder if I should report the posts?
If it’s NSFW and not marked? Absolutely report it.
