I'm with you. I blocked the most prolific meme communities and the main posting bots and my feed looks way better now. Remember that you can click on the community name and there's a "block" option on the sidebar, which works on all views. Same with users.
Wish I could do this with instances. Personally don't want to scroll all and see a load of porn from lemmy.world, blurred or not.
I'll be surprised if that option isn't coming soon, a lot of people have asked for it. In the meantime, there's a profile setting for not showing NSFW content if that helps. Oh, and I'm betting that, like with Reddit, a giant percentage of the NSFW content comes from a much smaller set of communities, so you might try blocking those to at least reduce it.
Tried the blocking communities. Unfortunately lemmy.world seems to have a sprawl of these that for individual kinks I guess.
I'm not complaining too much that it's there. Just annoying that it pops up.
I didn't block NSFW content to begin with because I thought there might be some gory stuff that I'm missing out on, but it turns out it's all porn :D
I think none of it is actually on .world, it's almost all on lemmynsfw.com and a couple others.
The gore (or, at least, deaths, is in c/Ukraine. I'd rather see the porn though.
