How to stop NSFW subs from appearing on the feed?

I might use the app in public and don’t want any NSFW posts to appear at all. Plz halp.

I'm not sure if you can do this on the app you're using, but on the website you can click on your profile --> settings --> disable "Show NSFW Content" and hit save.
- That setting isn’t working very well on Memmy at the moment. I’ve had it disabled since I got the app and it was working, but suddenly all the nsfw subs are showing up in the feed.
  
  The first thing I ask myself when switching from subscribed to all is, “How much porn do I have the energy to block today?”. Would be nice to be able to block whole instances. I’m just here for memes and cat pictures.
  
  I would log back in to Memmy. There seems to be an issue where you lose authentication and there’s no indication.
- Thanks, I’ll try this. I’m using the somewhat new iOS app called Memmy.
  You might not be surprised to hear that I’m one from the great Reddit exodus, so I’m still a bit unfamiliar with how stuff works here.
  
  On Memmy, go to Profile - > Settings (top right of screen) -> Content. There should be an option to hide NSFW, turn that on.

And how can I get more NSFW to show? I don’t wanna go to a whole-ass porn site, just want some titties mixed in with my memes beans and screenshots and news.

  here you go, subscribe to them and they'll show up in your subscription feed!
- Subscribe to some lemmynsfw.com communities

Not sure what app this is but you can,
Block the individual communities and/or users.
Subscribe to communities you wanna see and then browse via your subscriptions feed
Disable/blur NSFW content in your settings.

Am I the only one who looks at subscribed instead of All?
- I’m new to the whole Fediverse thing, so there isn’t much I’m subscribed to, so for now, I’m looking at everything.
  
  Fair enough. You can go into your user settings (on the web). On the "Blocks" tab you can block specific communities (i.e. any NFSW communities you don't want to see).

Which instance is that? Asking for a friend.
- lemmynsfw.com probably, not that I would know.
- I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t know if “instance” is synonymous to “post” on here. I’m a new user and I am still learning. It’s in the err…well it’s not subreddit…it’s called “ass” lol.
  
  Since you didn’t quite get an answer, an “instance” is like a “website” kind of. Just like you’d go to Reddit and have access to all of the subreddits on their servers, an instance is a one version of Reddit. There are multiple “Reddits” like lemmy.world, lemm.ee, feddit.de, etc that all have their own “subreddits”. They all interact with each other though so you can see every community on every instance as long as they’re still linked.
  
  What is this ‘ass’ you speak of?

What I ended up doing is creating a second account on an instance which doesn't allow NSFW (feddit.de in my case but there are many more). These instances defederate from NSFW instances so you don't see the post at all on your feed.

The shit should be banned until they can figure out how to make the filters work right instead of the other way around.
