Because it's full of Linux IT people aka furries and anime nerds?

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the answer. It comes with the territory when you have a demographic that is nerdy and terminally online.

This demo has more pros than cons, but I do find myself using the "block community" option liberally.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (7 children)

It seems like there needs to be additional community tags based on subject matter so you can block that tag rather than having to individually block a million communities or having to block an entire instance which you may not want to do.

Lemmy Connect allows you to filter communities and posts on regex, e.g. I filter (hide) communities containing any of the following:

/politics/, /news/, /memes/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/

I've been a "Linux nerd" since Red Hat's Halloween release back in the nineties. I attest that I am not, not have I ever been, a furry nor have I ever been that into anime. That said, I appreciate good Hentai. If done well, it can be an impressive mix of art and erotica. But it's mostly big tiddy trans furry pegging or giant tiddy tentacle sex posted here. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Why ‘Linux / IT’ guys? Is that really the demographic or the perceived demographic? I would consider myself a Linux / IT guy, but I’m not ever seeing furry things in linux tutorials for example. Just surprised that was the ‘go to’ group you listed as the demographic.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a running joke at this point.

Better question is what are you doing to see so much hentai. I have NSFW on, and regularly browse "all" and porn in general remains a very rare occurence.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I've noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It's still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don't click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.

My feed is sorted by "hot" by default, whatever that means. I see tons on all. New NSFW communities are created daily and posted to by bots and beggars. The hentai seems a lot rarer than the regular porn.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you got NSFW turned on. It's hot.

It's a lot. I'm not into anime or hentai at all, so I am constantly blocking communities. It seems like just when I get my "home page" how I like it, 16 more new communities popped up lmao.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (10 children)

What the hell why am I not seeing this? Not that I want to, but I keep hearing this and I just don't hardly ever see it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (9 children)

Your instance is probably defederated from the nsfw instances the content gets posted to.

One of the biggest issues with the fediverse in my opinion, even the all feed is pre curated by what your instance has defederated. Lemmy needs a way for people to find content outside this filter bubble they are most likely not even aware of.

I'm on Lemmy.world.

Piracy talk is a big no-no, but I do get to see the continuous creation of never-ending pornographic hentai & furry shit or whatever. The drawings look like sexualized cartoons made for children and the furry stuff just looks like people drawing out their sick sexual fantasies of animals. Totally normal for the communities that are into that stuff. Don't kink shame!

My blocked community list is several pages long now. I really hate that I have to fucking VISIT a community before I can click something to block it. I wish I could tap-and-hold on a post and be able to block the community it was posted in or block their whole fucking disgusting server.

But I can't.

Because that's the beauty of Lemmy and federation.

I'm guessing lemm.ee admins take a stronger stance against sick shit.

Edit: a lot of the posts I see are from communities on the "yiffit.net" server. I have no idea how to block the entire thing. I'll block one community from there and then posts from another will show up.

Edit2: just saw a "kurumi_nsfw" post that looked like a drawing of a naked little girl and an "animefeet" post a little below where I saw this thread, so it's definitely showing up for people.

My experience exactly. It’s absurd.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Hentai? I never saw those in my feed. Are you sure it's not the NSFW communities you subscribed to?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Where are all these Hentai you speak of so I can avoid it.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're on Lemmy.ml They censor all porn

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't know why you get downvotes for this. This is completely correct. "no porn" is one of their instance rules.

But they don't block instances that allow porn, so there's NSFW content coming from them and I am fine with this. No hentai, though (at least not enough to qualify as "so much" to me ...)

I have no idea. I have NSFW stuff turned off. I'm not on lemmy for porn.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're really missing out on all the hentai and furry content! /s

I have no idea, can you provide examples for my research?

I actually think I might have NSFW turned off because I've never seen a single NSFW post on Lemmy, hmm

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

It's a user account setting

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Look in my blocked communities list. It's full of memes, sports teams, and anime/hentai....

because for whatever reason that is what YOU tend to see in YOUR feed; why that is so, I do not know, it is not in mine.

Can you tell me where you found it so I can stay away from those places?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

There is no concept of personal "algorithmic" feed here unless he subscribed to a bunch of hentai communities. I agree that when browsing on Everything sorted by New, there is a LOT of hentai. That includes AI generated hentai that seems popular here, probably because it is a legal gray zone.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just sorted All by Active and New. Still no hentai

I haven't seen that much hentai, just regular porn. What communities have you been seeing with hentai? So I can uh stay away from them

Haven't seen any at all on my end.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Freedom, that's why. If you don't like it, block the communities. You have the tools to solve the problem.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Lemmy has been in large part adopted by horny weebs. Just block the communities or set your reader app to filter out nsfw posts.

Or become a connoisseur ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not more than Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Welcome to the internet, I guess. There always was and will be a shit-ton of hentai on any platform where users can post pictures.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You must be browsing All. Stop that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How else are we supposed to discover new stuff?
