News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I barely use reddit anymore save for porn and niche subs but after that glorious app I had used for ages finally died a few days ago I felt devastated. it was like losing an old friend. I hope reddit dies an even slower and more painful death

We really should have the ability to block entire instances as users.

[–] Fantomas 18 points 2 years ago (5 children)

You can turn off NSFW content. I suppose if I'm browsing all then I should expect it.

[–] KazuyaDarklight 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While that is reasonable, its really just the porn I want to filter, most people won't really give you too much trouble for a lot of the non-porn things that get labeled nsfw, some won't even really register it, but porn always catches peoples eyes.

[–] Fantomas 4 points 2 years ago

Mine has the blur filter on it.

Reminds me off the day Reddit removed porn from its all feed and everyone was upset. Lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Its blocked by default on accounts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where do you turn off NSFW? I checked the box to allow it when creating my account. Where can I turn it off now?

Ahh ok in the settings of the website of the instance? Would be great if there was an option in the apps themselves, but I'm guessing there's a reason it's not like that?

[–] ultranaut 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some apps do have it as a setting, or at least one I tried did. I think app development isn't far enough along. There's all kinds of basic functionality that isn't implemented yet in the available apps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I have hope for Sync, it was such a great Reddit app. Right now I'm using wefwef, which is interesting because I've never used an iPhone before.

[–] guyman 2 points 2 years ago

That's not good enough. Some NSFW users may want to see that isn't porn. Being able to block instances like "lemmynsfw" is way more effective.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'd wager most people who want to see NSFW don't want to see it in all. NSFW seems like it's more of a thing you search for at specific times rather then something you want popping up while you're browsing for the other kind of entertainment. Not that I'm speaking from experience of course.

Also, as others have mentioned, the more gorey or profanity filled style NSFW isn't something I'd like to have blocked from all, but it is something I don't want to autoplay or be uncensored in case I'm actually at work.

I think on kbin you can. Hopefully it will be added on Lemmy too

click your name on the top right, settings, check "hide adult content"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When you're on an instance, instead of clicking the subscribe button on the right hand side, click the circle with a line through it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah - "on an instance," I hadn't ever done that. While I'm not seeing a handy "click to browse this instance," I have sorted out that I can do kbin.social/d/[instance} to get there. That works well enough for my purposes. (And kbin refers to these as "domains.")

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

Just for future knowledge then, you can click on the little name of the instance/domain below a post and that'll take you to that same main page you're manually navigating to.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you! I promise I'm not stupid, just ignorant.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

No judgement here. I just wanted to make sure you knew so you could utilize it in the future.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Agreed, but they are working to get the federation scaling issues resolved, first.

We'll have to make do with blocking communities.

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

I wouldn't be surprised if the large "mainstream" Lemmy and KBin instances start degenerating from the NSFW focused instances before too long.

[–] guyman 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope they don't. Users should have the power to decide for themselves what content they want to see.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I understand that but at the same time instance admins need to take into consideration whether they're willing to deal with NSFW content in terms of moderation. Especially with NSFW content from other instances that they have no control over. When you're talking about consequences that could include legal issues, it's completely fine for admins to decide they'd prefer to not deal with it at all. Especially especially since for the end user, the way to get around defederated porn instances is to just have an account on or simply visit a NSFW instance.

[–] guyman 0 points 2 years ago

Errr.. this has nothing to do with illegal content or even specifically NSFW content. Users should have the power to block instances they don't want to. It's impossible to find an instance that blocks all the instances an individual user wants to unless they host it themselves or are friends with the hosts.
