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.

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.

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.

So much yiff stuff blocked. Being unable to block the entire instance is annoying.

Same with language specific instances I can’t understand.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

None. But I also never browse All. Never have, on any form of social media.

[–] Cow_says_moo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Shiimiish@lm.ainyataovi.net 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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.

Will genuinely never understand people that treat home as their personal feed. WTF is subscribed for? 😵‍💫😮‍💨

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 10 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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)

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Connect app lets you block instances

Which I've used to block languages I don't speak from being on my all feed

[–] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Thank you! Jebora was definitely missing that feature.

[–] gridleaf@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] stevestevesteve@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

None? I just stick to stuff I'm subscribed to so it's not really an issue.

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.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I just never turn on NSFW. It's not what I came here to see.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] adonis@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

0, zero, none, nada, niente...

PS: I like boobs

[–] ttmrichter@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (8 children)

If by "block" you mean "haven't bothered to look at ever" ... well, all of them.

Just the dicks

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (9 children)

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...

[–] kaotic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Yea they should have wildcard blocks. ‘*@lemmynsfw.com’

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.

[–] dbilitated@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Wutchilli@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Same with my instance and i also have an extra porn Account.

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] gridleaf@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] Durotar@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I haven't seen anything from lemmynsfw, so - zero. Though I don't spend a lot of time beyond my subscriptions and local feed.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmynsfw

I have NSFW posts disabled anyway

[–] loom_in_essence@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 browse mainly subscriptions, so I didn't see them

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

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.

I've blocked all the dicks but there are quite a few really tasteless pussy upclose ones that I blocked as well. The ai porn is absolute s tier quality though. I guess I'm more into artistic nudity than hardcore porn. I. Do. Not. Want. To. See. Upclose shots of genitals or buttholes.

[–] SRo@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago
[–] ramplay@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] poopsmith@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] FluffyPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

None, like the porn posts need to be clicked on to show the picture so it's not really an issue and even if it was visible by default I wouldn't mind, it's just porn. I would block gore but I haven't come across that yet.
