Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
It would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.
For real, if I could block lemmynsfw that would remove 90% of the porn from my feed.
I swear I blocked every community on there but more keep showing up…
100% there needs to be a way to block lemmynsfw, I say this even as an admin for it!
Ha, great reply
Nothing against your instance, just wish I could hide it from my “all” feed without hiding all NSFW content.
Agreed. There needs to also have more granular federation options (blocking images, forcing NSFW on another instances posts, silence them in c/all, etc etc)
Well Lemmy just needs more nuanced search and filter capabilities in general.
I would like to be able to say “don’t show me nsfw in my normal feed.” Sometimes I want to see nsfw content, but I want to specifically search for it, and I don’t think Lemmy’s user-level curation tools allow for that kind of richness yet.
Incidentally, I’ve found a structural problem in Lemmy’s UI that I noticed because of the unique nature of lemmynsfw. Y’all restrict browsing topics to logged in accounts, the reasons for which I understand. But from my account on sh.itjust.works, I can’t go to another instance and browse the communities they have there. I get redirected to that community’s homepage, where I don’t have an account, so I’m not logged in…see the issue here? I can search, but not browse, other instances while logged into my fediverse account.
A problem that existed on Reddit as well but is worse on Lemmy: There’s no topic/directory structure. Here’s an example I ran into here that I’ve cited before: Someone on some instance spun up a bunch of communities about some sports ball league. They created a nearly identical community for each team in the league complete with a nearly identical bot that posted scores in each community. I think this is a perfectly valid use case for Lemmy, this is legitimate and valid traffic that 100% deserves to be on the fediverse. I also think it’s really spammy for those of us who aren’t interested in sports and I’d like a convenient way to filter it out. If instances specialized in topics and there was a lemmysports.world I could personally block, that would pretty much do it…except that pretty much didn’t happen. There are general purpose instances, political extremist outcast instances, lemmynsfw, and kbin. A topic/directory structure might let non-sports fans easily say “don’t show me /sports/” but…nope that’s not a thing. So tailoring your feed to your preferences is a Sisyphean task, and I don’t immediately see a solution to this.

What’s the second one
You know, so I can block it too
Pornlemmy.com
There’s also yiffit (.net I think?) and some .uk instance, like lemmef.uk or something
What about the content on lemmy.world? A few communities were set up on this instance as well.
By comparison, There’s far fewer porn communities outside those main instances.
If we could block an entire instance, my block list would drop from over 500 communities to those two instances + like 10 other individual communities.
Plus maybe I could go more than 20min without adding to it…
