is it actually that bad? i've seen no furry stuff in my feed (all/hot) beyond my first like 3 days here
totally not asking because i'm looking for it
In my experience you only see it if you have nsfw stuff turned on and you have nsfw unhidden and you browse stuff by new (this is coming from a furry on a furry instance). The furry complaints are overblown imo, lemmynsfw is way worse; stuff doesn't always get tagged as nsfw there.
I blocked like 3 magazines, and 99% of the furry stuff on my 'new' feed immediately dried up. Mostly just a few places being very active, it would seem.
Yup you just gotta block them, that's the animal control of Lemmy, lol. (No offense furries)
Yeah, that's why I don't understand the complaints. You're on the Lemmy equivalent of /r/all, of course you're gonna get furry stuff. Just block them. No one's gonna be upset by it. Only thing that'd make people upset is if instance blocking was added and blocking an instance also blocked all the users on it.
That said I do kinda wish I could block lemmynsfw as a whole
I don't think I have really come across any and I browser All with NSFW enabled.
I mean, I see a lot of furries in my local feed, but it doesn't take a sherlock to see why. In all feed though, even with this account, I could hardly see any furry posts, although very occasionally they show up.
So much so that I disabled NSFW posts altogether.
I had to block five to ten-ish furry or similar communities and I’ve since seen nothing furry related on my feed. So it’s not like it’s a huge problem, but it does certainly affect people’s first impression of the platform.
I have not seen any furry stuff yet, except the odd lemmy-flooded-by-furry meme. NSFW enabled.
Maybe it's lemm.ee? Not a furry but in all while sorting by new, I get a large quantity of furry porn, along with other porn. I'll admit I'm blocking every porn community until I can just block instances, so maybe that shows more, but it's been like this the entire time
If you allow any NSFW content (like Ukraine feeds) it comes through, and there are like 40+ Yiff communities. I spent the weekend after I joined blocking them.
The only others that are as bad are Baseball, Soccer, and F1. I am working on blocking all of them as well.
My fursona is a homo sapien. Am I doing this right?
(This joke isn't meant to denigrate furries at all, rather it is a joke pointing out that humans are animals, too. That's all)
Don't worry, I got the joke even before your edit.
Now then:
Pushes glasses up snout ACKTHUALLY while humans might technically be animals, the furry community revolves around animals that possess unnaturally human characteristics, or to put it another way, animals with anthropomorphic features. Because human characteristics are natural to humans, they aren't really part of the furry community.
That said, most furries will accept you anyway so long as you aren't disrupting the vibe. Hell, some people have 'sonas which aren't based on animals at all, but instead based on planes, trains, etc. There was a meme that went around furry Twitter recently where artists were turning trains into "synth" dragons or similar creatures.
I too identify as a homo sapien, you can call me homo
Theres a post on here trying to get people to switch to firefox because hot fox girl
meanwhile linux users:
Xenia is way cooler than the fucking penguin
Big brain idea: Xenia and Foxkeh should date
Do not have sex with the furry browser
But why is the furry browser so hot if I wasn't meant to have sex with it? Checkmate atheists.
The furry browser has nothing on Kiki

I mean, honestly, any way we can get people to drop the Chrome (and Chromium derivative) monopoly on the internet right now is important, because Google is really throwing their weight around. Web Environment Integrity is Digital Rights Management for fucking ads. Drink your verification can, please!
Firefox or Safari, they're the last two non-Chromium based browsers available.
First yiff is free.
NSFW stuff is generally fine with me, that can mean a lot of things. Luckily I haven't seen a ton of furry shit on my Lemmy feed, (primarily use jerboa, so maybe that has an effect?) But on Mastodon I have to block so many people that appear on my feed. I just don't wanna see your kink shit people, please.
are you using the federated timeline or did you set up shop on a furry instance? in most cases federated ends up being a trashfire and you should either use local and/or follow specific hashtags.
you can also mute words, so a carefully crafted set of word mutes would help you quite a bit. and the best of all, this is encouraged! nobody will blame you if you decide to filter out anything you don't want to see.
Using the mstdn instance. I follow hashtags such as "gaming" and "art" and that usually is where it comes from.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the original artist for the picture is. It's been sitting on my phone for years now, waiting for a chance to be used.
Lemmy does have an issue with NSFW stuff showing up in various sorting modes. I can't say any of it bothers me in particular but it's going to be a detriment to Lemmy's growth with the public at large if it isn't changed. I think the easiest fix is to exclude NSFW communities from appearing unless a user is subscribed to them.
Or maybe do a Reddit and make an NSFW-free version of all? It’s definitely not because I want to or anything but I’ve found most of my subscribed NSFW communities through the all feed so far.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
