NOTICE TO PORN COMMUNITIES, PLEASE SET AN NSFW FLAG ON YOUR POSTS, thank you
use an nsfw flag if you're posting porn, please
i, and probably many others as well would not like porn to randomly appear on our homepage, this is nothing personal, but forcing porn on people is not right, I understand that many are new to lemmy/kbin so they might not have seen the option to flag posts as NSFW, but please edit your posts now that you know and apply it
Thank you
How do i do this?
tick that tickbox

Someone should open an issue on the git repo for lemmy & kbin to add a community-wide nsfw option, so that nsfw communities can just force all posts to be marked. Also allowing instance admins to do the same for remote communities or even entire instances (for example a nsfw-dedicated instance) would also be a very good feature to have.
I dunno if that's gonna scale if it requires per-instance work.

Maybe if there was a mechanism for trusting some remote feed of tags being attached to content. There are automated classification systems that can detect porn, and if you have one that presumptively flags magazines and instances that have a high ratio of flagged instances, that might be able to do most of the work. Maybe mix with graylisting, so that a receiving user chooses to defer seeing content from new magazines and instances, which would give classification systems a chance to process it before it gets seen.
Another problem is that there isn't a single global concept of what is socially-acceptable and legal, and requiring a single manually-set flag where the user at the source and the destination must have a common understanding imposes a certain inflexibility on the Fediverse as a whole, as it aspires to be a system for the world.
The main offender is Lemmynsfw.com, so instance wide shouldn't be an issue for them. People posting there think it's obvious since it's in the name, but that doesn't work with federation.
