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.

    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

    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.

        Boss: “And here I see you’ve accessed something called ‘Lemmy’ 315 times today, what the hell is that?”

        @ttmrichter: “Oh, no worries, I blocked all the porn.”

    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

      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.

        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)

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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 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.

    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.

        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.
