I guess they haven't discovered the button to block communities?

My feed is quite nice after blocking the stuff that doesn't appeal to me.

[–] [email protected] 81 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Same. Block is a key feature. That said, I’m actually fascinated at how many furry communities there are. You’d think blocking c/furry would take care of 90% of the problem, but who knew c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair had such a dedicated following.

The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (22 children)

Create two accounts, one with NSFW content turned off, and one with it on.

You could just browse your subscribed communities instead of All.

Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It's ramping up that way.

I think it's great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It's good Internetting.

Oh how quickly redditors forgot that r/all was packed full of porn not so long ago......

Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.

Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I'd go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.

There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It's never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.

It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist's livestock.

Reddit refuge here. I'm super sad to see people trying to turn lemmy into reddit, this is our chance to make it better. Stop filling the new feed with reddit archive bullshit.

Secondly, I'm fine with the porn. I miss scrolling r/all and getting the surprise boob. Surprise boobs are the best.

Although I will say the furry community on lemmy is fierce. I've blocked like 40 communities and I'm still getting dog dicks in my feed. How many different communities do you people need?

It's one thing to be a communist; it's another to be an apologist for the CCP.

I'm having an easier time arguing with tankies then I did with right wingers. Right wingers don't even believe themselves, so they shift the goal posts around to suit their needs.

I'm on lemmy.world and there's been virtually no NSFW content I'm seeing on this account. I had to create an account on lemmynsfw.com to be able to start seeing it. Hell, I have an Instagram account specifically to see NSFW stuff and I still find my feed filled with completely SFW funny animal videos, baking creations, and woodworking. The internet does not want me to give in to my vulgar proclivities.

No, I've missed the NSFW content. Reddit got rid of all the fun stuff for crypto spam.

Weird. I don't see much of that at all, even on "All". I guess it depends on what instance you join.

I haven't seen any porn since I joined lemmy. Where do I find this...porn?

People on lemmy.ml thinking we just really enjoy Mali.

It's actually been super refreshing to, generally, be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist and not immediately get downvoted into oblivion. There are still some of the kneejerk reactions to the CPC, but even then people seem more willing to engage on good-faith even with disagreements.

Create 2 accounts. One for daily reading with NSFW turned off, and another account with NSFW content for one handed reading. Problem solved.

Pepperidge farm remembers when reddit had porn on the all page.

NSFW content. That's disgusting. Where? Where is this vile content?

Hang on, where is this NSFW content? I need to review it... i mean, before I can express this outrage too.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Well, I've disabled nsfw so really it's like 95% memes for me at this point

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I have seen virtually no porn here on kbin. What am I doing wrong?

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

Same. Had to make a few horny accounts to compensate.

I would not say this is true as the main feed is seriously 90% memes, the rest is porn and some legit interesting posts.

Are they too dumb to uncheck the "show NSFW" button in settings? It was the same in Reddit idk. Can't do much about Communism, but at least the Lenin porn is blocked.
