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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hentai? I never saw those in my feed. Are you sure it's not the NSFW communities you subscribed to?
Where are all these Hentai you speak of so I can avoid it.
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.
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 ...)
I have no idea. I have NSFW stuff turned off. I'm not on lemmy for porn.
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
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.
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
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 ͡°)
Freedom, that's why. If you don't like it, block the communities. You have the tools to solve the problem.
where are those hentai subs( ask for a friend btw
Basement dwelling neckbeards are common.
You must be browsing All. Stop that.
Pro tip: If you don't want to see topic $foo in your feed, don't subscribe to communities with that topic.
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.
Why not? There is always the option to block.
