There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren’t being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.
EDIT: I personally don’t care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don’t know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.
I have added the option to set the entire magazine as +18, including remote. Please provide me with those here in the comments that require action.
Is it possible to have separate nsfw tags for nudity Vs gore or is all gore supposed to be tagged nsfl instead. Because that was something I thought Reddit should have had different, if you turn off nsfw, you miss alot of things that are ‘18+’ that aren’t nudity. If that makes any sense.
Granularity would be awesome for NSFW tags.
It’s something that took Reddit forever to do. NSFW, NSFL/GORE, and SPOILER are very important tags/filters to have.
Yes please! That’s something people have been asking for on reddit for so long. Would be great to have that added early into development
Given that folks are saying the main source is an instance called lemmynsfw.com, perhaps it would be useful to have an option to set an entire instance as having that flag? I’m foreseeing a future where instances tend to be subject-specific so something like that seems like it’d be pretty handy.
Is there a way to block an entire instance? Because in my kbin.social settings I have “hide adult content” turned ON and yet I keep getting posts from lemmynsfw in my feed and my sidebar of random recent posts.
How do you do that as a normal user, I can’t seem to see it my preferences.
There’s this option for me in the main settings page on kbin.
OK, I saw that, but most of the content of lemmynsfw is not tagged as NSFW. How do I block a complete instance?
edit: I just realised that I was answering to the same person who asked the exact same question, sorry. Still new to this
No worries, we all just want the same thing I guess. The ability to block a complete instance from our feed.
You can visit domain page, as you would magazine page, and there is a button to subscribe to it or block it. Here is the link to domain page of lemmynsfw.com, but be warned - you’ll see the post from that instance and some of them might not be properly tagged, so consider it NSFW despite your settings https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com. That should block entire instance (and i think the magazines/communities you are subscried to are exempted from this block, so you still see those)
@Mugox
THANK YOU so much! I’m very new to kbin so I had no idea that existed. Much appreciation!
Several people here are saying that the bulk of it is coming from lemmynsfw. If so then it may well be best to defederate in the short term to buy time for a better solution (like marking everything from there NSFW automatically, either by a lemmy enhancement on their end or a kbin enhancement here)
Do you have plans on adding another admin to help with moderation?
Definitely, in the upcoming days, apart from staying in close contact with the maintainers, I would like a;so to build a moderation team. That is a priority. However, I first need to urgently address and take care of a few matters.
IFTAS (about.iftas.org) may be able to help with this, happy to discuss.
@jazmichaelking Thank you, I will look into it.
Thanks for answering, keep it up!
For the all page or other curated pages that have suggested content and not handpicked content like subscribed I would recommend blocking those NSFW pages. Obviously people can view it if they want, but blasting it in a new users face could easily turn them away if they aren’t expecting it. Personally I would also go far enough to prevent anything not on kbin from showing on those pages at all. Ya, there’s tons of good content but searching isn’t completely obvious to new users yet so the people looking for federated content are not going to overlap with those only browsing all by very much.
Just my opinions is all
