I've underestimated the chronically horny's capability of endless categorization and my mouse hand is growing weary of having to block every new porn category that shows up on the hot feed(tits! one tit! two tit! tits on a train! tits on a plane! tits being held! tits being smelled!). I'd like to keep NSFW enabled because some communities I subscribe to use the tag.
Is there any way to block lemmynsfw entirely from being seen in any feed I view?
I do wish there were more granular NSFW tags. I don't wanna see porn but I do want bongs, psychedelic related content, and things that may be marked NSFW due to explicit language
It's a frequently requested feature, there's a GitHub issue for it in the Lemmy project, Mastodon does it so it's possible, but it's not available yet.
To my knowledge, the only paths are:
Whack a mole with new titty communities, as you have been doing.
Use Connect, which achieves this via client-side filtering. That is to say, it must still download the titty posts, but doesn't display them to you.
Be a programmer and submit a PR to improve Lemmy, lemmy-web-ui, or the app of your choice to add this feature somehow.
It does not. I believe Connect is the only client with this feature, and it's done with client-side filtering. Connect still sees the posts from the instance, it just doesn't show them to you.
You also have to realize that the initial GitHub issue was submitted last year. Lemmy was a very different thing then. Now it is a catch-all for Reddit refugees, but for a bit it was going the same way as Voat.
Seriously lemmynsfw needs to be defederated. I was about to make a post on this issue. I spend an hour right now blocking all those cringe post from the all feed.
If I really in the mood to watch nudes. I would rather make an account over there than messing up with the feeds.
Nah, lemmy just needs to give users more control. Users should be able to block an entire instance. If I can stop being lazy, I will try and see if they accept a PR for this.
Reddit had community tags that it used to determine the nature of a community.
They used it to keep their advertisers happy, but I always wished it was possible for users to utilize the tags for filtering.
Heck — a sufficiently well-developed tag system could even be used for community exploration.
Thank you! Don't get my wrong, I love my porn, but I am not trying to have it in my primary feed that I scroll through at all times. This is definitely something that needs to be figured out!
Lemmynsfw isn’t the only nsfw content anymore though either. Lemmy.world has a ton of porn communities now so you’d still get them even if you were able to block Lemmynsfw
How much time do people spend on here? I barely see any nsfw, if any, content when I go to All which is my default. And even if I do come across any , they are obfuscated. IMO the solution is don’t spend too much time on social media.
Edit: ok I apologize, it seems like I have it my settings. Now I get what you guys are saying.
