So, how many lemmynsfw.com communities have you blocked?
I just reached 112 myself.
I'm very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don't want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.
You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.
None. But I also never browse All. Never have, on any form of social media.
I use it as a way to discover new communities. Any recommendations on how you manage your subscription without looking at all from time to time?
I look them up at lemmyverse.net
I go there about once a week to see if there are new communities I might be interested in. I'm on a selfhosted single-user instance, so my "all" is identical to my "subscribed" and this is how I populate my feed.
It's tedious, but I found just looking at lists of communities to be more helpful. If something looks interesting, open it up, check it out, and subscribe. Browsing your subscribed communities is an infinitely better experience. Plus, if you're willing to take the time blocking communities, I feel like that takes just as much time as scrolling through a list of ones for potential matches for your interests.
Will genuinely never understand people that treat home as their personal feed. WTF is subscribed for? 😵💫😮💨
How else will people find a reason to complain about, I CLICKED ALL, AND I SEE A BUNCH OF STUFF I DON'T WANT TO SEE. HOW TO I BAN THE STUFF I DON'T LIKE, INSTEAD OF using the subscribe feature, like a normal person.
Subscribed is for the communities that I want to actively engage with every or close to every post that shows up. All/Home are for browsing popular content that I don’t want in my sub feed (memes, news, other smaller communities, etc)
Why block them? I like a little spice with my scrolling. Plus it's a fun mystery box to see what's under the blur. Straight/gay? Cis/trans? That one guy that literally just posts 100 fully clothed celebs every hour to disappoint you? Who knows.
does gay non-ass/dildo/dick pics porn exist anywhere on the fediverse?!
None? I just stick to stuff I'm subscribed to so it's not really an issue.
Same. I'm not going to judge anyone for scrolling All, but that's definitely not a level of chaos I've ever wanted to deal with.
That has always been allowed. As long as you don't want others to censor nsfw, all is good. I like porn. I want more high quality porn on Lemmy. That takes time.
This isn't about controlling what others see - I'd just like for users to be able to block entire instances, because blocking 3 more porn communities every time I reload All gets tiring.
I like porn when I'm in the mood for it. I've got an alt on lemmynsfw for that. Though I feel your point about high quality content: The specific stuff I'm interested in hasn't had a new post in a month. The only thing I still use reddit for, really...
I just never turn on NSFW. It's not what I came here to see.
0, zero, none, nada, niente...
PS: I like boobs
I just have nsfw as a whole blocked. I have other ways to see porn if I want to and I want to use Lemmy in places where my daughter or my boss won't walk by and think I'm looking at porn.
If that's your thing, go for it, but it is too much of a risk for me with little reward.
Admin for lemmynsfw here, and I just wanna say that we desperately need instance blocking for lemmy. Or at least some way for instances to be able to restrict NSFW content in /all. Some people do not want to see NSFW content or simply can't, and that's more than fine.
I really don't get it. I use wefwef and don't see any nsfw, like at all. You just simply uncheck it on your home instance. And just learned today wefwef also has a nsfw toggle which was off for me
Does your instance allow nsfw content?
So much yiff stuff blocked. Being unable to block the entire instance is annoying.
Same with language specific instances I can’t understand.
Connect app lets you block instances
Which I've used to block languages I don't speak from being on my all feed
Thank you! Jebora was definitely missing that feature.
We need an option to block pornographic communities, but still see non-porn NSFW content. Blocking all NSFW is too broad and will block other content.
I agree. But I’d also like the opposite. The ability to block all nonporn nsfw posts.
Seems like an “easy” solution is to add more granular nsfw tags. I never want to see blood and gore, but I don’t mind porn.
Absolutely. There needs to ideally be content warnings, or at the very least a distinction between NSFW and pornographic content.
Oddly enough, none. Kind of like seeing the sheer variety the Internet had to offer (plus those folks have so much confidence it's almost admirable). And at least it's not gore-- I've seen accidently seen way too many dead bodies mindlessly unblurring pictures on Reddit or foolishly clicking troll links.
Probably going to change to block nsfw when my little ones are old enough to steal my phone and browse my account, though.
I haven't seen anything from lemmynsfw, so - zero. Though I don't spend a lot of time beyond my subscriptions and local feed.
I think lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmynsfw
Oh no! Anyway, I created a separate account there, because I don't want porn in my regular feed.
Almost none. I browse all almost exclusively and have nsfw enabled, but none of the communities really bother me enough to block them. I just scroll past the stuff that I don't have any interest in, same as sfw content.
A bunch of fetish communities I don't like, that's about it.
I just use this usercript to block the whole instance: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
You need to edit line 17
Here adapted to work also with MLMYM (https://old.lemmy.world): https://pastebin.com/z0mShfDP
I went the other way. Made accounts on lemmynsfw and Lemmy.world and then couldn't log into my lemmyworld for some reason.
I browse all from lemmynsfw, and it's virtually pornfree.
Similar amount + even more users.
I miss "by type" filters. With politics, news, sport and cats/dogs gone, I'd probably have to block only few communities irrelevant to my interests.
A disclaimer: I love both cats and dogs, but the communities dedicated to either are damn depressing + the photos are usually of shit quality.
I've only blocked a single user: @youtube_feed_bot@lemm.ee. The amount of posts from them on my All page was stupid.
I've considered blocking a few people who cross-post, since it's annoying to have the same exact post from the same exact user in 2-4 different communities being on my All page at the same time, but haven't yet.
Do tell me...
I'm not sure what motivates people who come here to practice "gorilla marketing" and do everything in their power to gain popularity and virtual points. It's like they don't realize it's not Facebook or Reddit...

Post tags is probably the one feature I'm wishing for the most at the moment, tied with Multireddit style grouping for different frontpages for different topics.
None, since feddit.de hast lemmynsfw.com blocked. I wouldn't mind porn I think, but it's fine without as well. If I ever want to check out porn lemmy I'll make another account for that.
I just blocked the entire instance. Does that not work in lemmy?
Not yet. Hopefully soon!
Honestly, hearing from you that kbin already lets you do that is kind of tempting me to swap over.
Weirdly I have seen 0 NSFW stuff at all. I use Kbin, browse All/Hot and don’t have Hide NSFW checked.
Instead, my experience has been blocking the endless number of Meme communities.
Interesting...I wonder if since you're coming from kbin rather than another Lemmy instance it treats you as "not logged in" and hides the NSFW content automatically, like if you were to just go to lemmynsfw and browse without logging in.
Maybe 12? Just the celebrity ones that kept popping up, really. Not only because I do not give a single fuck about any celebrity enough to have a desire to see them naked, but also because those subs don't actually have porn which is the content I expect from that instance.
I mean, I had to find and make an account on the instance just to see most of it in the first place when I was looking for hentai and furry porn communities.
If by "block" you mean "haven't bothered to look at ever" ... well, all of them.
Just the dicks
i WISH i had this problem; it's so difficult to find the porn i used to get from reddit and ALL of porn instances i found were either straight or dildo/ass/dick pics.
Remindme 1week :-)
PLEASE let this be true!!! i'd be happy with a just a lemmy version of pg-13 subreddits like r/pecsandpecbouncing and/or r/topsandbottoms
I think my home instance blocks porn-only instances, which is fine with me. I can open an account on the porn instance if I want, it's not the same kind of browsing.
Same with my instance and i also have an extra porn Account.
I only browse on my subscribed list, so I don't really see it much
My home lemmy instance doesn't federate with NSFW instances to reduce legal risks which I totally support for their protection. In addition to the things which are outright illegal just about everywhere there is content that may or may not be legal in some places and an individual running a small instance doesn't have the legal funds or the protection from liability enjoyed by huge corporations. It is nice not having to worry about it when using the app in public or around family.
I've found it much more effective to ban the spam posters / bot posters in general, instead of communities. That catches the worst of it and mostly eliminates all of the cross posting.
If you see them or anyone spamming on LemmyNSFW, please report them.
Our definition of spam may be different. I think of it on a personal level as "this guy / bot just cross-posted the same thing to five different communities within two minutes." Others wouldn't define that as spam.
None.... because I don't see any of them. Ever.
If I were subscribed to them, I might see them.
But, I do not see them. EVER.
I exclusively browse "All" and block communities I don't want to see. I haven't found enough I want to sub to, and those I have subbed to don't have enough content.
Disabled nsfw for now, before that I tried blocking all the creepy celebrity-communities. There's one for every third rate female celeb under the sun and the guys posting there are spamming every picture with a hint of cleavage or leg.
Connect for Lemmy has a block instances feature. No idea how well it works though

Instantly, completely, and perfectly. I know because I accidentally blocked my home instance (.world), and I had NOTHING on my local page. Took a few moments to figure out how to unblock it lol
Lemmynsfw is the biggest reason I’m on here.
Social media for anything else is just toxic, so other than niche things, I get most of my news from news sites now (that way I don’t have to see all the awful comments that just infuriate me).
I hear people talk about porn in All but I never see it despite not filtering for NSFW. Not sure why that is. Something to do with the particular instance I'm connected to? I believe that is Lemmy.world
I'm lemmy.world too, and I've got porn in my All feed a few times a day even with how many I've blocked - and all of my blocked ones have come directly from All. So who knows? Maybe you're only browsing Local?
Lemmy.world here too and I haven't seen any porn in my feed yet (local or all). Although, I've only been browsing for at most 10 minutes a few times a week.
None.
I have NSFW posts disabled anyway
I never get these, is it because I don't browse all?
Yup, that's why - if you're on Subscribed you'll only ever see posts from communities you subscribed to. Or even if you're on local, you won't see any content from other instances like lemmynsfw.com.
Way too many. I'd like to see occasional non-sexual NSFW content in my All feed, hence not turning on NSFW filtering, but lemmynsfw is too prolific in my All feed.
What are you browsing with? Connect on Android has an option to block instances.
The regular browser site, on Desktop.
Could you please share your complete list so I too can block these disgusting NSFW instances?
Your instance isn't even federated with lemmynsfw, nice try 😛
Asking for a friend 😉
Cause u can't browse lemmy at work?
None. I just don't browse All.
I browse mainly subscriptions, so I didn't see them
I've been able to ban whole instances with Connect for Lemmy and hide nsfw. Made the browsing a lot more enjoyable
Probably a similar amount, it’ll just take time I guess before all the stuff I want to see is getting posted enough. I have a separate acct specifically for lemmynsfw, on this acct I actually don’t see any nsfw stuff. The problem is that my Subscribed list feels too barren, there’s not enough stuff getting posted or maybe I haven’t found all the communities I might be interested in. So I sort by All, which has quite a bit of stuff I’m not interested in at all, so I block that stuff. Eventually I’m assuming the two lines will cross paths and I can just switch over to my Subscribed list full-time. Until then I’ll just have to fight through waves of concerning porn until I can find my totally vanilla deviancies.
My preferred way to browse (even when I was on reddit) is to ignore subscriptions entirely, always browse All, and just block communities that regularly post content I'm not interested in. Once enough things are blocked it starts being pretty much all stuff I want to see.
I am subscribed to a lot of communities on Lemmy, but I might as well not be for how often I swap from All to Subscribed. For all the years I used reddit I only ever subscribed to like 3 subreddits.
On Reddit, I found myself swapping back and forth all the time. Sometimes I want hyper-specific content just related to the things I’m interested in, just because some of that stuff is so niche it’d never show up in r/all. But then other times I’d want to see what was going on with the broader Reddit “society”, what new drama was afoot or what new weird-ass trend had people started latching onto. I liked having a clear division between the two and specifically didn’t subscribe to subreddits that regularly showed up in r/all. I rarely blocked anything except for users whom I specifically hated their stuff.
On lemmy I pretty much have to do All by default, that’s the only way to do it if I want to see new stuff at all.
I blocked the whole instance. I'll admit that I do want to see nude females (who are obviously adults) but I was seeing lots of other stuff that I don't find sexy, and blocking specific communities was like playing whack-a-mole.
How did you block an instance?
Connect app on Android lets you block communities from the post without opening the post or navigating to the community
I have 238 blocked communities. ~3/4 porn, 1/4 sports, gaming, and non-English. I don't really want to block the instance as i kind of like to see the community titles. It's like a weird name competition. Winners are currently hentaibdsm and dangleandjiggle.
So, instead of subscribing to communities you want to see, you block communities you don't want to see. Interesting approach. You have more communities in your blocklist than communities I subscribed to.
Yeah man, same boat. I actually do have NSFW disabled, but I've still blocked at least a dozen or two lemmynsfw communities for actresses, celebs, gentlemenboners, ladyboners, ladyladyboners, just a metric ton of SFW porn communities.
Would make things so much easier if I could outright block the instance, and heck, maybe I'd even turn on NSFW in that case.
None, but I browser by "Subscribed" instead of "all"
I've been working on all the 'yiff' shit myself. Just the word, I fucking hate it, and seeing the art is even worse.
I've seen a lot of people complaining about that too, but it hasn't really showed up on my All page: Only one of my blocked communities has "yiff" anywhere in its name
Lemmy.world and I assume others are federated with an entire instance focused on that. Seem like nice people, sure, I'm just not interested at all in the content. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to block instances from the web interface... only communities, so I've done that one at a time.
0
I never noticed any because Aussie.zone isn't federated with it, took me a while to realise this, just thought there wasn't any porn here yet
I've only blocked all the trans ones that pop up cause I just am not interested in that frankly.
Other than that, I scroll past the odd post but they're blurred so it's really not an issue to me. I can click it if I want and I'm not in a place I shouldn't be
