I'm sick of nsfwlemmy.com content popping up in my feed

smutsmutsmut@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – -6 points –

For the most part it's borderline child porn or stable diffusion spam. There should be an option to opt out of content from specific instances on account level.

Can't you stop it by unchecking the "Show NSFW content" option in Settings?

Not all NSFW content is porn.

My biggest disappointment with Lemmy is that they didn't fix the glaring problem of NSFW vs NSFL, or more tags.

That's the issue I have with blocking NSFW too. I don't want to see porn, but there is NSFW stuff I do want to see. You're forced to throw the blanket over everything, regardless of what it is.

Then it hides non-porn content too, which i might want?

I hit that when signing up, and I haven't seen a damn thing. It's a checkbox.

At the very least you can blur NSFW images in the settings

Have you tried browsing by "Subscribed" instead of "all"? It'll only show content from communities you're subscribed to, like the old Reddit frontpage

I do all, show nsfw on a Lemmy.world account and get zero porn.

I generally do top 12 hours or I get days old stuff. That could be it? Or maybe he's just scrolling a lot farther than I am.

Sorting by new/new comments is a lot of porn and memes on Lemmy.world

All is a good place to find leads for subscribed. Browsing communities seemed to be limited to the instance.

I want to discover content, since lemmy is young communities form constantly. Reddit /all has no communities that are marked nsfw. Intuitively I'd assume nsfw instances or communities are searchable but are hidden from /all.

Reddit hid NSFW from /all because of apple and advertisers. 2 things Lemmy doesn't care about appeasing. All is exactly what it sounds like, all.

There's literally several preventative measures you can take to never see nsfw content again. This is not one of them.

These people just want to make noise and get people riled up about porn on Lemmy, their problems are entirely unserious or they would have checked the box everyone sees when they make an account.

It seems like there is an effort to get NSFWLemmy shut down or at least so defederated that it may as well be it's own separate part of the fediverse.

I'm just going to say... "All" isn't your feed. It is everything people on your instance have subscribed to. So, what you are saying is that the other people on the instance are subscribed to too much NSFW content. I'm not sure that individuals should get to police that.

"Subscribed" is your feed. Include or exclude whatever content you wish. You can blur NSFW if you want to browse all without seeing anything you don't like.

Why not subscribe to the stuff you want to see and then only filter by subscribed? I honestly find it strange that people don't do this by default.

Or local as well. Your instance could have more on it than you are subscribed to.

This is exactly what I do! Unfortunately, when I first log into Lemmy or Kbin, despite me having my settings set to show me only subscribed stuff by default, it totally ignores that setting (and what communities I’ve blocked) and just shows me the equivalent of /all on kbin or on that Lemmy server. You can get back to only seeing subscribed things by refreshing, but at that point the damage has been done, the NSFW has already popped up on your screen and you have to refresh to take it away. Seems just in the realm of “annoying” except for the fact that some people also have their defaults set to subscribed in an effort to avoid ragebait or triggering content.

There’s a codeberg issue for this on kbin already, so just have to wait for it to be addressed. Not sure if Lemmy has an equivalent issue on their GitHub (or whatever they use) yet.

I do not have the same problem as OP. Probably because when I made my accounts, if there was an option to disable NSFW (or not enable NSFW) I made sure to have NSFW disabled/not enabled.

This doesn't seem to happen on lemmy. And even if it did, my "All" filter is all memes.

That’s odd, maybe your instance fixed it. I have accounts on two Lemmy instances. I just logged myself into those instances and they both ignored the fact that I have it set to Subscribed. Not to All.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have their All be memes, and even still some memes I just don’t feel like seeing, or whose point are “lol thing bad.” Even if I agree with you that Thing is Bad I don’t want to see it.

I understand. I hear it's an issue on Kbin and it might be fixed on the newest versions of lemmy. But that's just how "All" is, you'll see everything whether you like it or not.

The problem is users like me who set to Subscribed and end up seeing All without ever choosing to navigate there. I fully understand that if I choose to look at All I can get blasted with anything, including things I don’t like. My entire problem is that I didn’t choose this. I opted out of it and am forced to see it anyways, which is how I became aware that not everyone is lucky enough to just have memes.

when I first log into Lemmy or Kbin, despite me having my settings set to show me only subscribed stuff by default, it totally ignores that setting (and what communities I’ve blocked) and just shows me the equivalent of /all

That sounds like a problem with the browser your using. Try clearing cache, going back to default settings. See if it happens in a private window, or different browser altogether.

Tried with cleared cache and private mode, still happens. Will try with different browser when I get to my computer.

EDIT: Tried on my computer, no dice. Thanks anyways!

I personally want to keep my subscribed list small and manageable. I only subscribe to communities that I actively want to interact with the majority of the posts made. I actively avoid subbing to large communities because it makes interacting with the small ones nearly impossible.

The majority of my browsing comes from local or all.

I prefer to do this as well. So all would be obviously whatever the rest of the instance is subscribed to and should include large communities, then I would look at my subscriptions to see the smaller or more niche stuff.

ALL is not your feed and shouldn't be treated as such. SUBSCRIBED is your feed one and only feed.

I don't get NSFW content from porn communities in reddit /all. The whole point of /all is discovery.

You used to be able to see nsfw on r/all. They only removed it recently when they started their plan of going public.

I think Apple forced them to hide the porn, same thing as what happened with the Tumblr mobile app.

Ah yeah I think I remember that. They forced apps to only allow logged in users to see any nsfw content.

For most of reddit's existence there was NSFW content in /all. That change was made a couple years ago.

Gee it's almost like people don't bother to explore their settings when they use a new site or app

You could use this to find an instance which blocks lemmynsfw.

You can also check with /instances endpoint i.e.

lemmy.world/instances

My instance just blocked them the other day due to sketchy underage stuff. Hopefully more follow suit.

Just block it? Do you really browse c/all without filtering out unwanted communities?

Switch to Kbin. You can already block by domain on there.

kbin has different problems. There is a "random" magazine that is just a collection of random posts, and it is featured on the sidebar with no option to turn it off. It sometimes randomly features porn.

Don't get me wrong, I want to like kbin, but I get an error on login every single time and have to clear my browser history so I don't really bother with it.

The current kbin domain block doesn't really work well as an instance block. What it does is block any post linking to that specific domain. It will block a nsfwlemmy user posting images to their own instance, but it won't block lemmy.world or lemmy.ml user posts there as they link to their own respective domains instead. It also won't block any post from that instance linking to a 3rd party domain either.

Username checks ou.. username does not check out. On a more serious note, Connect for Lemmy has the option to block instances at an account level.

Jerboa has an option you can select to not view NSFW content. It's in the profile settings.

I use Memmy and have a porn account and a non-porn account. On the non-porn account, I block any porn communities that show up in the All feed and eventually I stop seeing them.

Really? I've blocked so many, but more keep getting created. It's like chopping heads off a hydra.

It's pretty impressive how oddly specific they can get.

There are plenty of Lemmy instances that blocked those porn instances. Just join one of them.

Good advice. GitHub has a list of instances with columns showing instance details including whether it allows NSFW content.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I'm using Connect for Android and I just tap the options for the post and I can block the user, community, or instance. Lemmynsfw was the first one I blocked and I haven't seen anything since.

Also, apropos of nothing else,when you block a user, you still get an option to see their comments (it'll come up as this user was blocked) but then you click thru to see it.

There is not yet an option to block instances in the web frontend. Neither does Jerboa

I have trouble getting any to show up. And if I go to lemmynsfw specifically, I can't find any nsfw content. All that shows up is sfw pictures of beautiful women.

NSFW content has an enable/disable toggle check box in the settings. Sounds like you've got it turned off.

I have it selected to show it. If I go to my subscribed lemmynsfw instances they show up. It's whatever. Not like I'm gonna be using it as much as I did reddit anyways.

Memmy has the ability to block instances on its latest testfight release. Hopefully it comes to more apps

Do tell me.

The stream of new threads from all communities shouldn't appear on the "frontpage"...

"I chose to view content from all federated instances and now I'm seeing content from all federated instances. How can this be happening to me???"

I know better solutions and see them applied everywhere, like "filter out keywords", "block certain domains", "show only threads with more than x upvotes", etc, etc.

tl;dr: don't be an ass, dude.

Man, I thought I had it bad. I’ve had to block AI, trans, and furry porn. Thank god I haven’t had your first issue.

That’s one thing Reddit did better - no porn on front page. I only want to browse the porn I want to browse - which doesn’t seem to align with what the greater populace likes.
