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.

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.

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.

I don't really block unless it just becomes overwhelming on the TL with spam or weird comments; but my instance isn't federated anymore, anyway (though I'm not entirely sure how the whole concept works because I can still see the two I'm subscribed to fine - maybe it just won't actively show up on the timeline but you can still enter the community by typing it in??)

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

As far as my understanding goes, you can still see all content from lemmynsfw that predates the defederation, but you won't see any new content posted to it.

[–] bigmanjezza@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I only browse on my subscribed list, so I don't really see it much

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

I block all the IRL porn I see, but the hentai and the like can stay

[–] Owljfien@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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 just use this usercript to block the whole instance: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
You need to edit line 17

I just blocked the entire instance. Does that not work in lemmy?

14 / 15.

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I never get these, is it because I don't browse all?

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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).

[–] Fitik@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

I use kbin so I just have NSFW switched to off (by default and I haven't changed that) and I haven't seen a single one

[–] LexiconDexicon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

112?

What an oddly specific number that's been mentioned now in multiple threads regarding a study that's being spammed.......

Why do I so oft get the impression many of you are just using ChatGPT to make posts? Are you using the fediverse as your new LLM?

None. When you make a profile it asks if you are interested in nsfw and I just left it unchecked. I'm not sure if that's the difference but I remembered getting flooded early on with porn until I unchecked that box in my profile.

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The lemmynsfw.com content is always properly marked as nsfw, so that's definitely the difference. Only downside is you may be missing out on non-pornographic nsfw content, which is honestly not that common yet.

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How often those non-porn nsfw posts appear on Lemmy? Is it often enough to justify enabling nsfw on your account while blocking lemmynsfw?

You can just also move to other instances that block Lemmynsfw.

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They’re used for spoiler tags in sports subreddits a lot

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

That's the joy of connect on android lol. Instance blocking isn't perfect, it can miss posts here and there, but it isn't often.

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago

My instance just defederated them all together.
