Viewing All + Active feels like drinking from a firehose
Viewing All + Active feels like drinking from a firehose
Everyone is talking about how there isn't much content, but when I view All + Active the amount of stuff that pops up for me is almost overwhelming. Is it just me?
You're viewing a single thread.
For some reason, when I tried that, I got a literal firehose of furry porn. Which is fine, I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, but it was...a lot. All at once. And I'm unable to determine exactly where it's coming from (new to Lemmy, and pretty sure NSFW is not allowed on Beehaw).
I really wish we could just remove all NSFW from /all :/
Hey! I noticed that your name is in red. What exactly does that mean? Are you a mod?
He's one of the admins for the Beehaw server!
I'd rather put it on a toggle, off by default, so that if you want to go squeaky clean you can, then turn it on and you get all that
Yeah this would be my preference. In the meantime when porn pops up I go into the community and block it. If I ever want to use lemmy for porn I'll just create an account for that.
I have that problem too, but I know why. Beehaw federates with some nsfw instances and lets users choose to opt out. When making my account I checked the box to see nsfw stuff, remembering how various conversations over on reddit would be tagged nsfw, but that was a mistake. There are no discussions tagged nsfw, only porn. It must be possible to change that option somewhere, but I haven't really investigated yet.
It's in your user settings, you can always disable it of course.
Yeah, I think I'll look into in as well. On Reddit sometimes people would use NSFW as a trigger warning on writing, but I'm not really triggered by writing. I'm not super into porn of any kind, though, so I'd rather not see that kind of content.
I checked the box to see NSFW stuff for the same reason. The app I'm using (Connect) hides the previews for NSFW stuff, so that's handy.
This would be a real good feature request. The conflation of porn, gore, and discussion of sexuality all haphazardly into the category of NSFW has always been an annoyance to those who want the option of blocking one but not the others. Offering built-in labels would go along way.
That's how you know the platform is gonna live, lol. The absence of furry porn (yiff) means people won't hang around and the platform is ailing.
The server(s) you probably saw was yiffit.net.
Pawb.social has some, but I think they are gonna eventually request everyone port subs to yiffit if lemmy doesn't cone up with a feature toggle to bifurcate servers or have a toggle in settings.
I don't mind it, but right now my feeds are a bit of a mess.
