My Lemmy experience so far

i havent seen a single porn so far on lemmy. i think my instance blocks it.

I guess I'm doing it wrong then, all I see are days old posts about how this place isn't reddit and how people are délétion their reddit posts, and how life without reddit is si much more betterer. REDDIT! Where are the tits?

All I've been getting are a ton of old memes

Mine is full of memes

You can change the settings of your account to not show NSFW and porn is filtered out 🙂

I have seen so much more porn on a single night of reddit than I have the entire time I've been on lemmy. I feel this is just a weird psyop to scare people away from the "degenerate leftist place!"

I have seen none. Zero.

I'll be honest, you have to go out looking for porn to find it on Lemmy.

that's disgusting! where??

I don't see any?

Weird. I have the exact opposite experience. Not for lack of trying mind you; it's the last thing that makes me open reddit.

Am I at the wrong Lemmy?

I can't understand how people are getting this experience. Are they browsing Local @ xxxlemmynsfw.porn or what?

Sure its a pic or two but not everywhere by a long stretch

I had to go out of my way to find porn on Lemmy. How the hell are so many of you just having it appear like magic?

And communists, so many communists

what are these awful, awful communities I should be staying away from

I actually haven't seen any. Although I don't doubt that it's out there.

Where the fuck is porn? I am searching for it but can't find it. Can someone please help

the internet runs on porn

I dunno what instance you're on, but I have allowed NSFW on lemmy.world and rarely have I seen porn. Thankfully a lot of it is over at lemmynsfw.com instead so I can see stuff labeled NSFW here without being flooded with porn. Unless .world defederated from lemmysnfw at some point. I haven't paid attention to much meta news and who has defederated from who.

Where is the NSFW switch? I have seen none porn here yet

Reminds me of the old Reddit times when you had some random nudes here and there while browsing through the “all“ sub / timeline.

I don’t think that’s a problem and should not happen when you tailor your subscribed communities accordingly or choose to blur / filter NSFW.

As far as I can tell there isn't actually that much? The only instance that really hosts it front and center is lemmyNSFW, and thats pretty small compared to most other spots

Weirdly enough, I've seen basically no porn at all. Guess Kbin is pretty good at filtering it out

Weird, because I haven't seen anything like that afaik.

Yea, perverts! Nobody likes porn on the internet! Weirdos.

Maybe I haven't been hanging around Lemmy that long, but I haven't seen any NSFW stuff yet. Might be tempting fate, and considering I am looking at Lemmy at work.

What? Where?

I think it's memes. Memes all the way down.

where? lol, I haven't really seen any porn beside someone spamming a scat gif in the comments, but other than that it has been pretty family friendly.

I saw a few nasty pics of a woman defaecating that were just slipped into random trending posts a couple of days ago, but it seems to have calmed down now. No idea how that kind of thing is going to be prevented in the future, but hopefully there will be something.

One thing that annoyed me a bit was that Lemmy Connect was not blurring the images, even though they had been heavily downvoted and I had blur NSFW enabled. I guess it only blurs things tagged, not things that have been downvoted, and it might be worth adding the option to blur images on -n downvotes as an option to enable users to crowd source censor images.

I have nsfw and I haven't seen any. Is this satire? Oh I'm using WefWef fyi

That's disgusting, where?

Bruh, I bet I have blocked over 100 communities. So much porn. Y'all need a bf/gf. Go out and meet someone and give your meat a rest. Lol

Porn is always the trailblazer. Without the demand for porn we wouldn't have had VHS (and hence the whole concept of video on demand in your home), or instant credit card payment gateways.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: an unhealthy amount of porn = a healthy community.

Don't lie you like it

Dude just make a different account that's for porn only.

Is there actually porn on lemmy? All I see are pics, gifs and snippets but I have not found a single community where they would post full porn movies.

Lemmy is just either memes or porn at this point honestly, even if you browse /all. Kinda annoying tbh.

Bro enabled show nsfw

I literally spent my Friday night blocking Yiff communities.

That shit is like fucking hepes on here.

I've seen zero. I wonder what step you took such that your feed is full of porn.

I'm on a different instance that's all about porn. I think it's actually the biggest instance for porn.

Pretty sure my instance also blocks porn. Can't say I mind it, really, because I can just create an account on a porn instance.

Allows me to keep NSFW posts on, but not have to worry about pulling up a pic of a gaped ass in public. Plus if I was interested in following porn communities, I'd probably create a second account anyway. And then I wouldn't even have to wade through all of the regular stuff, I could just sign up for a porn instance. Win-win.

I don't know how the hell some of these peeps in the comments are somehow avoiding it, but I've had to block probably a dozen or more communities before I could just enjoy Lemmy normally.

God damn it, I never see any porn!

Just disable nsfw in your settings

Seems to me that everyone with this opinion lives on Lemmy.world and peeps in other instances or on Kbin see something different, not sure why that happens

Been using Lemmy for a month and I haven't seen a single porn.

You could join an instance that blacklists lemmynsfw

Still better than politics

Let's conclude.

I have enabled NSFW content on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world. When I look up specific NSFW content, the results on lemmy.world are way more. Especially for NSFW instances, but also some posts itself. So for some reason, the result on lemmy.ml (and other instance) are censored and filtered. I mean, it's fine if you don't look for that content. What makes me wonder is, why there is no information about it when you join an instance.

I just banned all the porn and anime subs, good these enoying cunts where always spamming

There isn't really that much but customizing your experience is not the same as reddit so you see it all until you block instances.

Settings > uncheck "Show NSFW content" then lol

Otherwise, I hope you use tissues made from recycled paper lol

https://youtu.be/LTJvdGcb7Fs The Internet is for porn.

I think Lemmy should implement something like user domain block like in Pixelfed

Two things you can do:

1. You can change your account settings to filter out all NSFW content.

2. Alternatively, since NSFW can include more than just porn, you can block specific NSFW communities (most of which will probably come from lemmynsfw.com) as you encounter them. While logged in, if you encounter an NSFW community in your feed, just click on it to go to its main page (ex. !naked@lemmynsfw.com, a community from my own blocklist), go to the sidebar, and click "Block Community".

Everyone registers on lemmy.world as if there were no other options. There are several porn-free instances, just use those.

Lemmy is fucking dog shit. It's way worse than reddit.

I see none cos my instance blocks it, so it's just memes and cats

Maybe visit setting !

Where?

not a bug, working as intended :)

I'm using Connect for Lemmy, and under "All" it's everywhere. If you can't find it, you aren't looking. Would like an easier way to filter it all out rather than blocking individual communities

I can't understand where you find so much porn.

Go to settings and unclick show NSFW, I don’t see any anywhere.

Lmao. Don't you know there's something called NSFW?

I blocked all the porn

I don't see much porn, but my instance is currently so small that my subscription and all feeds aren't really that different yet.
