How to stop NSFW subs from appearing on the feed?

I might use the app in public and don’t want any NSFW posts to appear at all. Plz halp.

I'm not sure if you can do this on the app you're using, but on the website you can click on your profile --> settings --> disable "Show NSFW Content" and hit save.

That setting isn’t working very well on Memmy at the moment. I’ve had it disabled since I got the app and it was working, but suddenly all the nsfw subs are showing up in the feed.

The first thing I ask myself when switching from subscribed to all is, “How much porn do I have the energy to block today?”. Would be nice to be able to block whole instances. I’m just here for memes and cat pictures.

Well, you can create an account on an instance that's defederated from nsfw instances and doesn't allow nsfw communities inside. For example I've seen almost no porn in my 'all' feed and had to block like one community from some big instance.

Lol thank you for perfectly articulating my thoughts. I tell myself that if I ever want my fitness content, I’ll have to block all the porny shit individually anyway. Really wish there were less of it though. Sadly the cat enthusiasts don’t spend nearly as much time posting as the incels.

I would log back in to Memmy. There seems to be an issue where you lose authentication and there’s no indication.

Nope. Re-saved the password, quit the app and came back in. Still seeing nsfw communities. Thanks for the suggestion though. Probably a bug that will get fixed soon.

Ah gotcha. I will say that I do not have them fully turned off, just blurred, but some are not blurred out so I think it may just be that some content is not properly tagged as nsfw.

Thanks, I’ll try this. I’m using the somewhat new iOS app called Memmy.

You might not be surprised to hear that I’m one from the great Reddit exodus, so I’m still a bit unfamiliar with how stuff works here.

On Memmy, go to Profile - > Settings (top right of screen) -> Content. There should be an option to hide NSFW, turn that on.

I have that and the option above it (to blur) both turned on :/

Maybe it’s a bug, the app is new so it’s possible the dev is working on stuff like this.

I haven’t seen any (on iOS/Memmy), but I had NSFW turned off on my main instance profile (lemmy.world), not sure if the toggle works within the app. Try turning it off from your main instance in your browser.

Maybe try to open your setting page via browser, and disable nsfw from there. It will stop all nsfw posts whatever apps you use

Not sure what app this is but you can,

  1. Block the individual communities and/or users.
  2. Subscribe to communities you wanna see and then browse via your subscriptions feed
  3. Disable/blur NSFW content in your settings.

Am I the only one who looks at subscribed instead of All?

I’m new to the whole Fediverse thing, so there isn’t much I’m subscribed to, so for now, I’m looking at everything.

Fair enough. You can go into your user settings (on the web). On the "Blocks" tab you can block specific communities (i.e. any NFSW communities you don't want to see).

Thanks, I’ll have to check the website out. I signed up using the iOS app (Memmy), so I’ve never visited the site.

Additionally, within Memmy, if you visit the community (in this case “ass”) and click in the upper right “…” you will have the option to block the community from showing in any of your feeds.

Which instance is that? Asking for a friend.

I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t know if “instance” is synonymous to “post” on here. I’m a new user and I am still learning. It’s in the err…well it’s not subreddit…it’s called “ass” lol.

Since you didn’t quite get an answer, an “instance” is like a “website” kind of. Just like you’d go to Reddit and have access to all of the subreddits on their servers, an instance is a one version of Reddit. There are multiple “Reddits” like lemmy.world, lemm.ee, feddit.de, etc that all have their own “subreddits”. They all interact with each other though so you can see every community on every instance as long as they’re still linked.

What is this ‘ass’ you speak of?

I’m not sure tbh, but apparently it’s superb.

Well what is it then?

Superb or ass?

Ok, I just checked the image and it’s a superb ass.

What I ended up doing is creating a second account on an instance which doesn't allow NSFW (feddit.de in my case but there are many more). These instances defederate from NSFW instances so you don't see the post at all on your feed.

The shit should be banned until they can figure out how to make the filters work right instead of the other way around.
