After a week of blocking every porn sub I see I’m feeling defeated

I’m blocking so many a day I think it’s giving me carpal tunnel, and I know it will never end. Porn is more infinite than the universe. Please dear god let me block lemmy.nsfw

You can also go in your lemmy profile and check that you want to hide all NSFW posts.

- I do have the blur/hide options checked. But perhaps some posts are bypassing the hide function? I see lots of blurred porn posts still, and of course soft core is wide open
  
  Here have some screenshots:

  Wdym by soft core? I’ve never seen untagged nudity

  Iirc you need to make the change via the web interface rather than Memmy currently.

Just make an account on a server that doesn't federate porn. Lemmy.ml or midwest.social don't.

Lemmygrad doesn't either, but it's understandable if it's not for you.

This is how I feel blocking sports too.

- Or all the shitpost meme communities… at least you can block porn with the NSFW flag.
  
  4
- Same tbh. Saw some “fanatical” instance I’d love to block as well. Had a sub for every sports team and I was getting flooded yesterday
  
  2
- Yep. Porn, sports and foreign language.
  
  Along with the occasional location based ones that spam local news.

You’re posting in the Memmy community. This feature has been added, at least on the TestFlight version.

13
- I’m posting here because I use memmy. I’m just a normie here, I don’t know what TestFlight is or how to use it. I’m just going through the apple app store

  Oh, well know it’s added and hopefully you get to experience it on the App Store soon.

I'm on lemmy.world using connect and I haven't seen a single porn post? I wonder why we are having such different experiences.

12
- Voyager and lemmy.world here. Constant porn.
  
  No I don't want to turn off all NSFW because health/fitness and war reporting would disappear too. And it seems OP's problem is that setting isn't working in their client.
  
  Instance blocking is absolutely required for lemmy to function, and hopefully mods will enforce keeping the incels in their own little instances.

  ~~Voyager has instance blocking.~~ No it doesn't

- I’m on memmy, not connect. I posted screenshots above of the ‘hide nsfw’ option not working

  You can filter out instances with Memmy now, via Settings > Filters

- This is one of those things that people have been asking for for forever (I hate that that's grammatically correct. That too) on Reddit. Would be really, really nice to have more specific NSFW tags

lemmy.blahaj.zone has defederated from lemmy.nsfw if you don't mind changing instances. The local tab has a lot of queer content tho if you're not into that (but you can just ignore that tab and use All or Subscribed, of course).

I also am on kbin.social, and I do not even have the "Hide NSFW content" turned on, and I almost never see it. I haven't had to block anything (maybe once?), and in the <1/1000 chance it pops up, it is blurred by default.

It can randomly show up in the Active People area though.

Lemmy/Kbin is a wild, uncharted frontier, still alpha version software and very much in active development, it does not just "take care of people" like Reddit and Twitter did - you may want to not browse it at work then. Also, even if you successfully blocked every single porn magazine, as you see a new one could come up and blow up your entire All feed at any point in time -> that approach was never going to be 100% successful.

So it may be worth the pain of switching to Kbin, b/c that will work? Note that you will lose everything that way - account migration is something promised but not yet implemented iirc - but you can still see all of the communities you subscribed to before, from the new server (you will just have to subscribe to all of them again, plus block all the others, like I unsub from every foreign-language one that I see).

- I know right? What the hell? I've been on kbin for weeks and I barely saw a titty. I need to go create an alternate lemmy account

- I'm on lemmy and i don't see porn. I'm honestly trying to remember if I've ever seen one on this account. Probably instance-related.
  
  1
- Yeah I’m not against switching instances from .world, but I’m also not looking forward to starting from scratch. I’ve already made a lot of progress curating this account

Wait until the weebs come here, and you have to block every subreddit for every character for every anime ever released.

5
- I’ve already started that on here lmao. At least this time I’m getting a head start
  
  4
- you know, or just start using subscriptions instead of fighting with all

Man idk what people are doing or if it's because I am on lemmy.ml but man I never see or hardly ever porn communities. And I don't have it blocked.

EDIT: It seems one of the rules of lemmy.ml is "No Porn" so I am gonna guess that that's why. I mean that would apply to their communities but I guess they might be blocking the ones from other communities that have porn aswell.

It needs to be easier to block those communities.

I hate having to tap into a community in order to block it. If I don’t wanna see that shit, I definitely don’t want to have to see MORE of it in order to block it.

We should be able to long press on a post or community name from the main feed, and be able to block the community from that popup menu.

- I think one of the bigger problems with the fediverse is that theres no way to mass filter content.
  
  By default/main language would be a big one, porn second.

  Language filtering would be damn helpful
  
  1
- I wonder if blocklists could become a thing to solve this

Been gone for a few days but I am back. We have added filtering of whole instances so you'll be able to do this now.

I...haven't seen a single one. Is this a Lemmy thing? I'm on Kbin.social.

2
- Hide nsfw is checked by default and even if we uncheck it, we can hide instances, so it kinda is a lemmy thing yeah.
  
  1
- Lemmy.world yeah

There's literally a toggle in the account settings that toggles whether you see nsfw posts lol

2
- It doesn’t work.
  
  It hasn’t worked since 0.1.0 released.

  I haven't seen a single NSFW post since I've toggled it off. I have had to block a couple bot accounts that have been posting porn in comments, but that is a mod issue, not a Lemmy one.
  
  2
- Already have them both toggled thanks

Why not just change the instance you’re a member of. A number of them have a no porn policy, so it all gets filtered at the instance level.

I only view subscribed.

i thought it was kinda silly when reddit blocked porn from the all & popular but holy shit do i appreciate it now. i’ve never seen my feed as bad as this. i’m getting so much that i will have 2-3 posts in a row from the same community.

1
Agreed. It’s too much fucking porn. It just clogs up the feed. If I want to look at porn I’m not going to look at pictures; this isn’t the 90s.

We need a way to filter all of this shit out.

Have you tried crying like a little bitch?

- Have you tried not being a useless cunt?

  Every day and twice on sundays. Get better soon.<3

Access the 'verse from KBIN, no porn in the feeds, at all, like civilized folk/ Fuck Lemmy.

-6
- I'm on Lemmy but I don't have porn neither. It depends o' the instance you are in I think. Experience may vary.
