So, how many lemmynsfw.com communities have you blocked?
I just reached 112 myself.
I'm very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don't want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.
You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.
Why block them? I like a little spice with my scrolling. Plus it's a fun mystery box to see what's under the blur. Straight/gay? Cis/trans? That one guy that literally just posts 100 fully clothed celebs every hour to disappoint you? Who knows.
That has always been allowed. As long as you don't want others to censor nsfw, all is good. I like porn. I want more high quality porn on Lemmy. That takes time.
I just have nsfw as a whole blocked. I have other ways to see porn if I want to and I want to use Lemmy in places where my daughter or my boss won't walk by and think I'm looking at porn.
If that's your thing, go for it, but it is too much of a risk for me with little reward.
Admin for lemmynsfw here, and I just wanna say that we desperately need instance blocking for lemmy. Or at least some way for instances to be able to restrict NSFW content in /all. Some people do not want to see NSFW content or simply can't, and that's more than fine.
Oddly enough, none. Kind of like seeing the sheer variety the Internet had to offer (plus those folks have so much confidence it's almost admirable). And at least it's not gore-- I've seen accidently seen way too many dead bodies mindlessly unblurring pictures on Reddit or foolishly clicking troll links.
Probably going to change to block nsfw when my little ones are old enough to steal my phone and browse my account, though.
Almost none. I browse all almost exclusively and have nsfw enabled, but none of the communities really bother me enough to block them. I just scroll past the stuff that I don't have any interest in, same as sfw content.
None, since feddit.de hast lemmynsfw.com blocked. I wouldn't mind porn I think, but it's fine without as well. If I ever want to check out porn lemmy I'll make another account for that.
Maybe 12? Just the celebrity ones that kept popping up, really. Not only because I do not give a single fuck about any celebrity enough to have a desire to see them naked, but also because those subs don't actually have porn which is the content I expect from that instance.
I mean, I had to find and make an account on the instance just to see most of it in the first place when I was looking for hentai and furry porn communities.
My home lemmy instance doesn't federate with NSFW instances to reduce legal risks which I totally support for their protection. In addition to the things which are outright illegal just about everywhere there is content that may or may not be legal in some places and an individual running a small instance doesn't have the legal funds or the protection from liability enjoyed by huge corporations. It is nice not having to worry about it when using the app in public or around family.
i WISH i had this problem; it's so difficult to find the porn i used to get from reddit and ALL of porn instances i found were either straight or dildo/ass/dick pics.
I've found it much more effective to ban the spam posters / bot posters in general, instead of communities. That catches the worst of it and mostly eliminates all of the cross posting.
I think my home instance blocks porn-only instances, which is fine with me. I can open an account on the porn instance if I want, it's not the same kind of browsing.
Disabled nsfw for now, before that I tried blocking all the creepy celebrity-communities. There's one for every third rate female celeb under the sun and the guys posting there are spamming every picture with a hint of cleavage or leg.
Way too many. I'd like to see occasional non-sexual NSFW content in my All feed, hence not turning on NSFW filtering, but lemmynsfw is too prolific in my All feed.
I hear people talk about porn in All but I never see it despite not filtering for NSFW. Not sure why that is. Something to do with the particular instance I'm connected to? I believe that is Lemmy.world
Social media for anything else is just toxic, so other than niche things, I get most of my news from news sites now (that way I don’t have to see all the awful comments that just infuriate me).
Yeah man, same boat. I actually do have NSFW disabled, but I've still blocked at least a dozen or two lemmynsfw communities for actresses, celebs, gentlemenboners, ladyboners, ladyladyboners, just a metric ton of SFW porn communities.
Would make things so much easier if I could outright block the instance, and heck, maybe I'd even turn on NSFW in that case.
Probably a similar amount, it’ll just take time I guess before all the stuff I want to see is getting posted enough. I have a separate acct specifically for lemmynsfw, on this acct I actually don’t see any nsfw stuff. The problem is that my Subscribed list feels too barren, there’s not enough stuff getting posted or maybe I haven’t found all the communities I might be interested in. So I sort by All, which has quite a bit of stuff I’m not interested in at all, so I block that stuff. Eventually I’m assuming the two lines will cross paths and I can just switch over to my Subscribed list full-time. Until then I’ll just have to fight through waves of concerning porn until I can find my totally vanilla deviancies.
I have 238 blocked communities. ~3/4 porn, 1/4 sports, gaming, and non-English. I don't really want to block the instance as i kind of like to see the community titles. It's like a weird name competition. Winners are currently hentaibdsm and dangleandjiggle.
I blocked the whole instance. I'll admit that I do want to see nude females (who are obviously adults) but I was seeing lots of other stuff that I don't find sexy, and blocking specific communities was like playing whack-a-mole.
I've only blocked all the trans ones that pop up cause I just am not interested in that frankly.
Other than that, I scroll past the odd post but they're blurred so it's really not an issue to me. I can click it if I want and I'm not in a place I shouldn't be
I've blocked all the dicks but there are quite a few really tasteless pussy upclose ones that I blocked as well. The ai porn is absolute s tier quality though. I guess I'm more into artistic nudity than hardcore porn. I. Do. Not. Want. To. See. Upclose shots of genitals or buttholes.
None. When you make a profile it asks if you are interested in nsfw and I just left it unchecked. I'm not sure if that's the difference but I remembered getting flooded early on with porn until I unchecked that box in my profile.
I'm blocking some bots and a bunch of porn. I didn't block porn on Reddit, just scrolled past the few posts but with less content there is more porn in my way. I'm not worried about it being there in general I guess.
I don't really block unless it just becomes overwhelming on the TL with spam or weird comments; but my instance isn't federated anymore, anyway (though I'm not entirely sure how the whole concept works because I can still see the two I'm subscribed to fine - maybe it just won't actively show up on the timeline but you can still enter the community by typing it in??)
None, like the porn posts need to be clicked on to show the picture so it's not really an issue and even if it was visible by default I wouldn't mind, it's just porn. I would block gore but I haven't come across that yet.
Blocked a few dozen, subscribed to maybe half a dozen. It got a lot easier once I figured out the app lets me block communities without having to open the community page.
I block basically all of the cartoon porn. Just not my cup of tea.
Weird thing though: I subscribe to a very few communities there because I like the occasional nudity in my news feed. Browsing by Subscribed I almost never get posts from there even though they are active. Only every now and then something comes through. I wouod expect a slightly higher frequency.
I know the connect app allows instance level blocking, but i don't think thunder or jerboa do yet. I've also heard that there is a request for the lemmy devs to add that as a feature, so it nay happen in the near future.
