Issue with nsfw material in feed (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

28 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So this post from lemmynsfw.com just popped up in my feed. It is not tagged as nsfw although it obviously is. I have tried attaching a screenshot but Jerboa throws an error. I have nsfw material turned off in my account settings, so this wouldn't happen if the post would be tagged properly. I'm using Jerboa. I could just ban the whole community but it is not the solution in looking for, because the ban works on app level and I have separate accounts for separate needs. Also banning the community is a reactory move and I would need to repeat that for every offending community in the future. That means that my feed would still be getting occasional nsfw material. Please advise.

Technically I believe every communities created with the NSFW tag will auto-apply the NSFW tags on all posts. Maybe the user who posted submitted to a community that isn't tagged as such (some of them like /c/[email protected]) because the content is not always NSFW.

The only thing we can realistically do is to report these posts. It send a report to your instance admins, who can hide the post from being viewed at the instance you're at. It will also send a report to the mods of community at lemmynsfw.com in which the post was submitted who can take action on the post itself.

I think this is the issue - if the community itself isn't tagged, blocking NSFW on your account doesn't filter the posts (although they should be blurry if the posts themselves are tagged).

Fortunately, most of the untagged communities (inc. celebs) are modded by a user called Madness, so blocking him cleared up my feed.
