Too much porn (lemmy.world)

There definitely needs to be a way to block an entire instance(or whatever they’re called, please let me know I’m new) my feed is flooded with post to communities on lemmynsfw

Uncheck the "show NSFW" on your lemmy.world (etc) instance and then it won't show up in your feed then the rules will apply on your Memmy app. I have a separate account added for my NSFW stuff

[-] ClickToDisplay@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

That’s not exactly what I’m looking for either. Not all NSFW posts are actual porn. That’s why it’s be preferable to just ban the porn instances.

But thanks for the suggestion.

growing pains of the new platform for sure. I find that I haven't missed much with my main account not allowing the nsfw settings as of yet. Id prefer the scrolling experience and finding new communities in the "all" page with the porn being disabled.

[-] onionbaggage@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Sir. The internet is for porn.

[-] Glarrf@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

An easy solution is to join an instance that has defederated from the nsfw instances. I don't have a link but it's easy to search for.

[-] digitalgadget@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not seeing them at Kbin but it could be that my account has it blocked by default over here.

[-] kr0n@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Another way is just follows the communities that you want explicitly to follow and only show the post from subscribed communities.

That’s what I do.

[-] ClickToDisplay@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I would do that but I like finding new communities.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Agreed. It's too "early days" to not be able to find new communities.

[-] holgersson@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Isnt there a setting to block nsfw content?

[-] ClickToDisplay@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Only an option to Hide and Blur as far as I can find.

[-] Pandantic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And this doesn’t work if the post isn’t marked nsfw as I have the hide nsfw on am I still see nsfw posts.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I've gotten tired of blocking the ones that come up on my hot feed. I don't mind that there is porn, I just don't want any of it showing up while I'm scrolling with family around or at work. Hell, even with friends around it would be awkward.

Memmy allows you to hide nsfw

[-] ClickToDisplay@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yes but this would be all NSFW posts, not just porn.

[-] loaf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It also allows you to block communities that are porn-specific, which helps a ton.

[-] Pandantic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can you tell me how to get to that? Is it in settings or do you have to have the instance up?

[-] loaf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

When you have the community up that you want to block, the “…” in the top-right corner brings up the option to block the community:

The only tedious part is that you actually have to go to the community itself, but you get used to it 🙂

[-] cc8@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

Connect for Lemmy can block entire instances

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah. That stuff needs to be blocked by default on all instances until they can get this sorted out.

[-] Pandantic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if they have the same rules about marking nsfw on a nsfw instance? I wonder if I should report the posts?

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If it’s NSFW and not marked? Absolutely report it.

[-] uhh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’m running into the same issue as you. I wish we had different NSFW tags for different content. NSFW for porn, NSFL for gore/violence, NSFWM(ild) (or something similar) for text/not necessarily full blown porn. It would make filtering much easier. Using just the one tag has been counterproductive.

[-] notfromhere@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Voyager PWA has an option to disable all NSFW. Does memmy have that option? Its been a while since I’ve been on that app.

[-] Switorik@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You can block instances or just nsfw with connect for lemmy. I'm not sure about the other options.
