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.

[–] bricks 83 points 11 months ago (6 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.

c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair

(It isn't really, but I do like those Eames chairs...)

Lmao that’s a comically specific /c/

[–] TrismegistusMx 4 points 11 months ago

The inside of those fursuits must smell awful.

[–] galloog1 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think it's a bad thing that people complain about problematic viewpoints, even if they can block them.

[–] hoodatninja 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Being a furry is a problematic viewpoint?

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] Uncle_Iroh 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

Why's that? I've been using a separate account for porn on reddit for over a decade. It's the only way to go imo

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (15 children)

That's why we need some 3rd party apps to make swapping amounts seamless.

[–] WaltJRimmer 10 points 11 months ago

Or just make a NSFW-less account on one instance and a NSFW-ful account on a different instance. You don't even need to log out of one to switch to the other. Just change the URL slightly.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Voyager does this pretty well.

[–] hoodatninja 6 points 11 months ago

It's pretty seamless on Jerboa. I've got this account on lemmy.one and a different account on lemmynsfw. Works great.

You could just browse your subscribed communities instead of All.

[–] frooch 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

hard to find new communities without using All

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

That's why I'm subscribed to [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah I agree, I mean I still mainly browse All. However that's always going to be the price you pay. You want everything, you get everything.

[–] Lars34 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Problem is that the website and clients never remember that I want Subscribed to be the default.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's lemmy.world for you lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can change that in your profile settings, and I'd imagine most apps as well.

[–] Lars34 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know, problem is that this is never remembered and is reset back to All every time.

I’m so confused by posts like this. I see very little porn stuff on /all/. How are so many others seeing it everywhere?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Some instances block it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Am I the only one who, like...never sees any porn in their feeds?

I’d like to block entire servers myself. But I can’t find a way to block the whole nsfw one. Individual communities yes, but I’d like to not see the whole server.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just move to an instance that has defederated from major nsfw instances.

[–] GeneralBoop 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It would be nice if there was a directory that made it clear what server has defederated what.

Fragmentation and the lack of continuity and good navigation is seriously going to be what kills any chance a federated Reddit alternative has at becoming even 25% as large as Reddit was.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You can see what an instance has defederated by adding /instances to the URL of the instance. There's no way to see it for more than one instance (at a time) as far as I know, so yeah, have to agree with you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, the only way defederation is a feature is if there's a way (even if it's standardized at the client-side) to merge that defederation for those who want a cohesive experience.

It'd almost be better if every user could pick their own "federations" instead of it being at the server level. Obviously the servers need to have that control and my hypothetical might not be in throwing range of what lemmy can/should do.

[–] Viking_Hippie 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I read earlier today that at least one instance is defederated from lemmynsfw so you can try making an account on that/one of those..

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I was reading the comments like: what nsfw stuff? I don’t see anything ever. I’m on lemmy.ml only.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

One of the nice things you can do on kbin, but I don’t think you can on Lemmy yet

You can also hide the NSFW content entirely, but some people are never happy.

Never happy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Thank you! I've just been browsing with NSFW turned off, but: A) I actually would rather turn on the blur function if there wasn't literal porn throughout the "all" feed. B) A bunch of mild soft core stuff like "pretty women" and "celebs" gets through anyway.

Can't believe it never occurred to me to use the block button to shape the all feed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Some phone apps do not support that feature. Couldn't find it in Memmy for Lemmy for example, so I bounced.

You can of course always do it through the web interface.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Memmy has it. Tap the community name and then the three dots in the top right. “Block community” will pop up as an option.

I’ve been using it to block Anime/Manga/Hentai communities as fast as they make ‘em. It’s never-ending with that stuff.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Good to know, must have missed that. Memmy felt a bit glitchy on my device, so I'm trying out Liftoff! now.

I'm expecting there will be a bit of a development boom with the increased interest, so it's always good to keep tabs on what the other apps have to offer.
