Because it's full of Linux IT people aka furries and anime nerds?
This is the answer. It comes with the territory when you have a demographic that is nerdy and terminally online.
This demo has more pros than cons, but I do find myself using the "block community" option liberally.
It seems like there needs to be additional community tags based on subject matter so you can block that tag rather than having to individually block a million communities or having to block an entire instance which you may not want to do.
Couldn't you also switch your feed to "subscribed"
Topic based tags could work, but there's no way to enforce that community's will tag things about themselves
You could just use subscribed but as Lemmy is fairly small, if you want new content with anything approaching regularity, searching by all or local is all but essential.
Everyone's opinions differ for sure but even in fairly popular communities there aren't that many posts a day, especially when compared to larger, other, less API friendly sites...
Yeah lol. Just view your subbed feed if you don’t want random shit in your feed. I mean we all used Reddit, right?
Lemmy Connect allows you to filter communities and posts on regex, e.g. I filter (hide) communities containing any of the following:
I use Connect also. How do I go about this? It doesn't seem to work in the block settings.
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. It was just further down in the settings. Thanks for this info as well, it was really useful. I would have missed this for a long time if you hadn't pointed it out.
I can't imagine that would be very successful consider people already forget to tag NSFW content.
If I recall correctly some furry instances have been defederated by other instances because one or two communities had a problem with that.
Standardization amongst tags could also be a headache where I don't see a consensus being reached on a federated platform like Lemmy.
Hear hear!
My wife saw me trying to block some big booby anime stuff and assumed I was browsing the community. I’m in my mid 40s guys, it’s not ok.
Also why do they always look ashamed of their boobs? They’re huge! You'd think they’d be proud.
They're not ashamed, they're in pain. Big boobs hurt
I've been a "Linux nerd" since Red Hat's Halloween release back in the nineties. I attest that I am not, not have I ever been, a furry nor have I ever been that into anime. That said, I appreciate good Hentai. If done well, it can be an impressive mix of art and erotica. But it's mostly big tiddy trans furry pegging or giant tiddy tentacle sex posted here. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Why ‘Linux / IT’ guys? Is that really the demographic or the perceived demographic? I would consider myself a Linux / IT guy, but I’m not ever seeing furry things in linux tutorials for example. Just surprised that was the ‘go to’ group you listed as the demographic.
It's a running joke at this point.
Haha that’s pretty damn funny 😄
Its just a meme. Most Linux guys are just normal dudes.
Better question is what are you doing to see so much hentai. I have NSFW on, and regularly browse "all" and porn in general remains a very rare occurence.
It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I've noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It's still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don't click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.
or depending of your instance? Or you still can see post from unfederated instances, I don't remember, but that wouldnt make much sense
Your instance would only matter if it is small-scale enough that users haven't subbed to the originating instances, if it has deliberately defederated from them, or if you are browsing by Local instead of All.
My feed is sorted by "hot" by default, whatever that means. I see tons on all. New NSFW communities are created daily and posted to by bots and beggars. The hentai seems a lot rarer than the regular porn.
you got NSFW turned on. It's hot.
This is the correct answer. I only ever see that sort of content when sorted by hot. If you go by active or top you will basically never see that sort of content. Anyone can upvote easily one-handed. It's very rare that anyone has much of anything to say about that sort of content or the ability to actually type it one-handed.
Anyone can upvote easily one-handed. It’s very rare that anyone has much of anything to say about that sort of content or the ability to actually type it one-handed.
hahaha god dammit
It's a lot. I'm not into anime or hentai at all, so I am constantly blocking communities. It seems like just when I get my "home page" how I like it, 16 more new communities popped up lmao.
What the hell why am I not seeing this? Not that I want to, but I keep hearing this and I just don't hardly ever see it.
Your instance is probably defederated from the nsfw instances the content gets posted to.
One of the biggest issues with the fediverse in my opinion, even the all feed is pre curated by what your instance has defederated. Lemmy needs a way for people to find content outside this filter bubble they are most likely not even aware of.
Or the community just doesn't get federated yet as no one in the instance is visiting/subscribed to that particular community.
Sounds about right. I'm not sure how all this instance stuff works yet. Pretty sure I just signed up through lemme.ee then used jerboa to browse it. Are there ways to get more NSFW content
You can see what your instance, or any instance, is federated / defederated with by going to, for example, lemm.ee/instances
Down at the bottom of the list you should see who they have defederated, meaning lemm.ee and those will not share content amongst each other.
So if you want to see more stuff you need to make a new account somewhere with less or no defederation. Personally I recommend lemmy.zip, I chose it specifically because they only defederate illegal content and meta. From there I can do the blocking of stuff I don’t want to see myself, I just like to have that control and not someone else.
That's what I need thanks
Sure thing, happy furry porn browsing
I just want regular porn though. Guess I can block stuff as I go. Thanks all the same.
No judgement here lmao
I was just joking though, I blocked so many furry porn communities it’s crazy. Almost as many out there as hentai
Ok I just got approved for lemmy.zip can I use jerboa to browse it? I kind of like the way this app is. I guess I'll figure it out lol. Thanks for the help though really.
You can just log in with your new account in any Lemmy client, the ones I have tried so far all support multiple accounts as well so you can switch on the fly. Also you’re quite welcome, it takes a bit of time to figure out how it works around here
Do you allow NSFW content by default? I'm no prude, but I had to turn it off just because there was so much hentai and related porn.
No I get some NSFW content but usually just light topless in jeans or whatever
I'm on Lemmy.world.
Piracy talk is a big no-no, but I do get to see the continuous creation of never-ending pornographic hentai & furry shit or whatever. The drawings look like sexualized cartoons made for children and the furry stuff just looks like people drawing out their sick sexual fantasies of animals. Totally normal for the communities that are into that stuff. Don't kink shame!
My blocked community list is several pages long now. I really hate that I have to fucking VISIT a community before I can click something to block it. I wish I could tap-and-hold on a post and be able to block the community it was posted in or block their whole fucking disgusting server.
But I can't.
Because that's the beauty of Lemmy and federation.
I'm guessing lemm.ee admins take a stronger stance against sick shit.
Edit: a lot of the posts I see are from communities on the "yiffit.net" server. I have no idea how to block the entire thing. I'll block one community from there and then posts from another will show up.
Edit2: just saw a "kurumi_nsfw" post that looked like a drawing of a naked little girl and an "animefeet" post a little below where I saw this thread, so it's definitely showing up for people.
The Jerboa app allows me to block communities without going to the community page, don't even need to open the post
I'm on Jerboa and I didn't realize this... Thanks for the tip.
Connect and Sync apps you to filter entire instances.
Dear god man
Make sure you are browsing all, not subscribed or local.
It depends on the time of day. Certain things are more popular at certain times of day in different time zones.
I'm same as gingerlegs, but I do 1. Probably because of 2 though
I'm always browsing all-hot but do do through jerboa so maybe that's why? I don't need hentai but more porn would be nice.
Try all/new or all/top 6 hrs
Can confirm, after a couple pages of normal stuff, all+top 6 hours is a lot of porn.
My experience exactly. It’s absurd.
Where are all these Hentai you speak of so I can avoid it.
Hentai? I never in my feed saw those. Are you sure it's not the NSFW community you subscribed to?
There is hentai on Lemmy?
You're on Lemmy.ml They censor all porn
I don't know why you get downvotes for this. This is completely correct. "no porn" is one of their instance rules.
But they don't block instances that allow porn, so there's NSFW content coming from them and I am fine with this. No hentai, though (at least not enough to qualify as "so much" to me ...)
They might have defederated from the instance that the hentai is from. It's lemmynsfw.com
Funny, they really did. I remember this particular instance not being defederated some time ago. The rules say "no porn" so it's understandable, though.
I have no idea. I have NSFW stuff turned off. I'm not on lemmy for porn.
You're really missing out on all the hentai and furry content! /s
I'm really broken up about that.
I have no idea, can you provide examples for my research?
I actually think I might have NSFW turned off because I've never seen a single NSFW post on Lemmy, hmm
It's a user account setting
Look in my blocked communities list. It's full of memes, sports teams, and anime/hentai....
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !aigen@lemmynsfw.com
because for whatever reason that is what YOU tend to see in YOUR feed; why that is so, I do not know, it is not in mine.
Can you tell me where you found it so I can stay away from those places?
There is no concept of personal "algorithmic" feed here unless he subscribed to a bunch of hentai communities. I agree that when browsing on Everything sorted by New, there is a LOT of hentai. That includes AI generated hentai that seems popular here, probably because it is a legal gray zone.
Just sorted All by Active and New. Still no hentai
Keep trying, we need answers here.
“Well I don’t have this problem so nobody should bother trying to solve it”
I haven't seen that much hentai, just regular porn. What communities have you been seeing with hentai? So I can uh stay away from them
Same here
Until we see links to this hentai we are trying to avoid, I’m not even sure it exists.
I've not seen any hentai or porn!
You‘ve probably got the „show NSFW content“ toggle off.
Because a lot of people like hentai ¯_( ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)_/¯
You dropped this mate \
You need to use 2 of them as they are also escape characters.
Especially nerdy, terminally online types.
Not that that applies to any of us.
Haven't seen any at all on my end.
Lemmy has been in large part adopted by horny weebs. Just block the communities or set your reader app to filter out nsfw posts.
Or become a connoisseur ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It doesn't matter how many of these communities I keep blocking and blocking and blocking, the barrage just keeps on coming, it's relentless, they refuse to stick to one community or even two dozen of them, they have to make what seems like hundreds.
The worst are the horde of not necessarily nsfw celebrity communities. Thankfully it's all from 1-2 users so you can just block them, but it's like there's another new one created every couple seconds.
a cunnyseur 😭😭
Freedom, that's why. If you don't like it, block the communities. You have the tools to solve the problem.
It's the internet, nothing you can do about it
It's the intetnet. Nothing should be done about it.
where are those hentai subs( ask for a friend btw
But where is the yaoi?
WHERE IS THE YURI
On burrgit.moe
oh thank you.
Not more than Reddit.
Welcome to the internet, I guess. There always was and will be a shit-ton of hentai on any platform where users can post pictures.
You must be browsing All. Stop that.
How else are we supposed to discover new stuff?
For real, browsing all is mostly great. I just block the shit I don't wanna see ever again.
Lol Steve you're on the internet there's gonna be some hentai
Menu -> Block Community
Oh hey I don't have to be bothered by bad porn anymore.
Ever boot up Wallpaper Engine?
It pops up with a "do you want to hide Hentai?" button due to how much of it there is.
You have nsfw on? Or you taking about cartoon styles?
Humans are freaky.
Weebs
There is a lot of it on the Internet. They know they can get good amounts of upvotes.
This is why I just stick to the subscribed feed.
I already had to put a filter on Mastodon to stop seeing their creepy posts on my timeline with a #gaming tag, even though it's got nothing to do with gaming. Bluesky is also full of them and one of the main reasons I barely look at it.
Why not? There is always the option to block.
Basement dwelling neckbeards are common.
I blocked a lot of those communities. But there is a lot of hentai out there, hence why you see a lot of hentai appear from hentai dedicated communities.

Pro tip: If you don't want to see topic $foo in your feed, don't subscribe to communities with that topic.
That doesn't work if you browse All feed.
Why would you do that and expect stuff not showing up you don't like?
I don't particularly care, I just block what I don't want to see, I was just pointing out that your simplification doesn't quite work.
It does work very well if you don't do something to sabotage it.
There isn't. I mainly sort by all, and i don't recall ever seeing a hentai post. Maybe you have 'show NSFW' set to on?
