I always felt like NSFW should be broken down two categories:
- sexual content
- graphic content (like gore or gross stuff)

MODERATORS
People asked for this on reddit for years. This should be a no brainer.
Yeah. Lots of communities seemed to have NSFW vs NSFL to distinguish porn from gore, respectively. I agree with that distinction.

yeah better tags!!!
PornographicallyNotSafeForWork PNSFW
Not to be confused with PacificNorthSummerFiresWest PNSFW
Perfect for differentiating porn from OSHA violations.
Try just enabling nsfw. I haven't seen porn on Lemmy yet.
I mean if you go to all then there is a bunch of porn. Maybe not local or subscribed obviously. But yeah. Mucho porn in the early stages just like the other site at the beginning
If you go to the lemmynsfw instance and just pre-emptively block all of the communities, it mostly disappears. Folks are (at least on my feed) being pretty good about keeping it all there.
You must only look at local or subscribed. There's an awful lot of porn on Lemmy, but it's mostly on lemmynsfw.com.
That place is weird. Seems like 90% of its communities are celebrity names. Maybe it's because I don't have an account there, but that would also solve the OP's issue. If you can't really see things from there even with NSFW enabled, then it's not really a problem.
They turned off showing NSFW content without login, so if you just go to the URL and don't have an account, you'll only see SFW stuff like the celeb communities. But if you're on your home instance and do /all, you'll see all the posts your instance is federated with, including the NSFW contents on that instance.
I've never seen a single porn post here and I have NSFW enabled. Maybe because of the instance, but still, I occasionally check "All" sources and haven't seen a single one.
If it's possible to block an entire instance, block the lemmynsfw one
Unfortunately it currently isn't possible to block instances.
