Hey! Careful where your images live if your instance doesn't allow NSFW (yiffit.net)

I've not seen this happen yet, but figured I'd draw attention to it just in case, because it can be a little counter intuitive. Apologies if this isn't the right place or this is already in the rules somewhere.

When you post to a community on Yiffit, the post (and any attachements like images) lives on your homeserver, not Yiffit.

If your homeserver allows you to view NSFW but does not allow you to post it, you may be breaking that rule by posting NSFW to a remote instance.

I think (from a quick reading of their rules), pawb.social and lemmy.world allow posting of NSFW, but be careful out there if you're on another instance!

Good to know, and I will, thanks!

I mostly was seeing it from this instance yesterday, so it might've been before it started being enforced (or before those posts were caught). Today's been a completely different instance, lemmynsfw, which you obviously wouldn't have any control over.

What I'd really like is an option to see nfsw posts, but have the pictures blurred out unless I click on them to reveal them. Maybe they'll add something like that in the future...

That's actually the default behavior on lemmy. On yiffit our custom CSS style removes the blur, but you can re-enable it. Thinking about it, I should add a toggle/button.

Apologies for causing you problems. I'll review older posts and notify their authors to edit them if any lack the toggle.

That's fine, it's all growing pains on the platform.

More options are always good. The same person might want them unblurred when home alone and blurred when they are out in public, and if there was a toggle, they could just turn it on and off when appropriate...
