Am i missing out on anything other than porn by disabling NSFW on lemmy ?

[Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world – 57 points – 8 months ago

Like am i missing out on big boy talk, gore, news etc that are adult ? Lemmy should seriously get a second filter like one that filters porn and the other that filters the rest if that is the case . Anyway what do you think ? Should news etc. be put behind nsfw ? I know i am straying far off the primary question but i am just talking casually and pulling it out of my ass as i go so thoughts ??

Edit : Is there any issue open in lemmy git for additional filters ??? If not can someone less lazy than me open one ?

I've had great success just outright blocking the porn-centric instances.

But then i will miss out on those users comments , normal posts etc . tho

I don't think that's how it works. It should only block the communities on those instances, but not the users. At least that's my understanding.

Idk i guess someone need to confirm

Instance Blocks for Users

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

That cleared it up .
