Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts?

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???

I think horror or gore should go to NSFL rather than moving porn off NSFW. NSFW had traditionally meant porn where NSFL has meant gore, there just hasn't been a separate NSFL tag because that type of content has been discouraged and giving it it's own tag could be seen as legitimizing it.

- Horror doesn't mean gore and people use the nsfw tag for things other than porn, gore or horror too.

  Horror should still be nsfl

  I totally agree with @Lojcs@lemm.ee (damn you scrolling comment setting)👆

The tags are currently worked on, if you want to say something to make a change, write there.

Github issue that started the tags conversation. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317

- I don't think tags would be a solution as they wouldn't be standard threadiverse-wide. Also porn communities would want to mark their posts with specifying tags like every other community does instead of a generic porn tag.
  
  What's needed is expansion of the nsfw mark into subcategories

  there is proposal for three types of tags: NSFW, spoiler and generic. NSFW and spoiler will blur the images, and generic tags are for content categorization. NSFW and spoiler tags should have the same behavior on lemmy. kbin dev will want to make parity change for his feature.

  I think copying Mastodon would be the best for this. You can mark the post as sensitive (nsfw), which blurs the images. You can also add a content warning that can be used for anything (nsfw, nsfl, spoilers, etc).
  
  And then use tags separately for categorizing posts.

- Thank you I'll check the links 👍

Just do what I do and fill your blocklist with over 500 (and growimg) porn communities...

/s

43
- Can you give me the list so I know what communities to avoid?
  
  19
  
  There's no means of exporting that list, and no way for you to import it except manually.
  
  I'm no going to that effort. (especially as I'm on mobile)
  
  Scroll all and block any porn that pops up. That's what I've done over the last few months.

  That would be a nice feature

- Done👍

- Some of the apps allow blocking of instances, I use Sync For Lemmy and I blocked pornlemmy and lemmynsfw and I don't see porn anymore for the most part, there are still some stray nsfw communities on other instances but I rarely see any of their content

- I feel this.

It would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.

29
- 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…
  
  22
  
  100% there needs to be a way to block lemmynsfw, I say this even as an admin for it!

- What about the content on lemmy.world? A few communities were set up on this instance as well.
  
  3
  
  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...
  
  9
- What's the second one
  
  You know, so I can block it too
  
  2
  
  Pornlemmy.com
  
  There's also yiffit (.net I think?) and some .uk instance, like lemmef.uk or something
  
  4
can we just block instances at the user account level?

21
- I think i saw there is a merge request for this up on git, which hopefully means it's not far away

  That's great news. I'll try find the link

- Many of the Android apps let you filter instances, as well as individual communities or users. Most instances don't host porn because of the legal headache, so blocking the only two that specialize in it should (mostly) do the trick: lemmynsfw and pornlemmy. On Sync for Lemmy, tap the overflow button on an offending post > filter > filter instance

  I get that, but I don't feel good about that solution. You're sort of beholden to that specific client.
  
  Given new lemmy is as a platform, I don't want to feel locked in yet (though I understand instance block lists might be cross compatible between all client apps supporting the feature).
  
  Another counter argument is that an instance block list should be relatively short. Keeping this list in a separate location and manually re-applying will probably not take up a lot of time.

Yeah, I originally left it unchecked because I'm fine with non-porn NSFW stuff, but the porn was so overwhelming I just had to block it all.

17
- People keep saying this and I keep not seeing very many salacious pics. I wonder why.
  
  6
  
  I'm not familiar with your instance, but it's possible that it's not federated with the two big porn instances.

Nsfl = inury / death

Nsfw = curse words, a boob, etc

Porn tag for porn and art with nude chicks

16
- I like this. Nudity shouldnt be joined with porn.
  
  Porn is the act of having any sexcual activity. A video of naked art or whatever is not porn, but maybe nsfw.

  The gals presenting their pussy is not porn?

Alternatively a filter for "hentai" and a more general "anime" filter would also be nice.

15
- How would the filters apply to those communities where it's lewd anime but still technically clothed? I've had to block several communities for being what is as close to hentai as you can get.
  
  4
  
  This system could work if the people who manage anime communities also enforced tagging borderline hentai with the hentai tag, which hopefully most wouldn't take issue with. You could always still block the community/instance if they don't follow this system.
  
  Personally I'm not interested in hentai or anime, which is why a general anime filter encompassing both of these themes would be perfect for me.
  
  1
- I'm an anime person but let's face it. People only post anime when it's boobs or NSFW material. I got in an argument with someone over not wanting to see obvious NSFW on Lemmy when it wasn't tagged and his argument was "they're in a swimsuit" which btw is not sfw by any means.
  
  I'd love an anime filter tag
  
  1
  
  Thats a you oroblem. Check out some walloaoer communities for solid art thats sfw.
  
  -2
Or a NUDE tag to cover all of the uncovered.

10
Can we have the exact opposite?

7
- "Safe" tagging?
  
  3
  
  No, way to tag nsfw that's not porn.
  
  14
I don't think ActivityPub supports that. There's just the "sensitive" flag (which Mastodon shows as a content warning and lemmy shows as NSFW). I think you'd have to do something outside of the specification.

5
- I don't think ActivityPub supports that.
  
  Which only means that you have to add it to activitypub first.
  
  12
While we're at it let's add that for different languages

I think overall a good way would be to add content warnings like other fediverse software and making it so that you can set specific communities to have specific content warnings to be applied.

4
Wait, the Fediverse has porn? Uh, asking for a friend.

3
- Apparently. According to what someone says anyway 😇

I’m on kBin and there is a setting that allows me to filter NSFW stuff. Not sure if this is available in lemmy but I thought I’d point it out to anyone else wasn’t aware.

- OP doesn't want to block all NSFW, just porn.

  Yep 👍

There is a current PR, nearly completed for instance level blocking.

Until then, there is an easier method. Its called, looking at your subscribed feeds, instead of blindly looking at all.

-2
- This is a growing platform with new instance and groups getting created all the time, why should i limit my experience? All i (we) ask for is a better way to filter porn.
