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.

None. But I also never browse All. Never have, on any form of social media.

[–] Cow_says_moo 39 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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.

Will genuinely never understand people that treat home as their personal feed. WTF is subscribed for? 😵‍💫😮‍💨

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

None? I just stick to stuff I'm subscribed to so it's not really an issue.

[–] OverfedRaccoon 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[–] Chickenstalker 46 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That has always been allowed. As long as you don't want others to censor nsfw, all is good. I like porn. I want more high quality porn on Lemmy. That takes time.

[–] zkfcfbzr 29 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (10 children)

This isn't about controlling what others see - I'd just like for users to be able to block entire instances, because blocking 3 more porn communities every time I reload All gets tiring.

I like porn when I'm in the mood for it. I've got an alt on lemmynsfw for that. Though I feel your point about high quality content: The specific stuff I'm interested in hasn't had a new post in a month. The only thing I still use reddit for, really...

[–] kaotic 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yea they should have wildcard blocks. ‘*@lemmynsfw.com’

[–] PineapplePartisan 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I would prefer regex blocking, as there are categories of communities that I am not interested in seeing regardless of which instance they are on. It is annoying to have to continually block them because someone setup a new instance and created the same community again.

I just never turn on NSFW. It's not what I came here to see.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

0, zero, none, nada, niente...

PS: I like boobs

[–] FlyingSquid 31 points 11 months ago (11 children)

I just have nsfw as a whole blocked. I have other ways to see porn if I want to and I want to use Lemmy in places where my daughter or my boss won't walk by and think I'm looking at porn.

If that's your thing, go for it, but it is too much of a risk for me with little reward.

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.

So much yiff stuff blocked. Being unable to block the entire instance is annoying.

Same with language specific instances I can’t understand.

[–] Jackcooper 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Connect app lets you block instances

Which I've used to block languages I don't speak from being on my all feed

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.

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

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.

[–] hightrix 19 points 11 months ago

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.

I haven't seen anything from lemmynsfw, so - zero. Though I don't spend a lot of time beyond my subscriptions and local feed.

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

I think lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmynsfw

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Oh no! Anyway, I created a separate account there, because I don't want porn in my regular feed.

[–] stevestevesteve 16 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

A bunch of fetish communities I don't like, that's about it.

[–] Crul 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I just use this usercript to block the whole instance: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
You need to edit line 17

Here adapted to work also with MLMYM (https://old.lemmy.world): https://pastebin.com/z0mShfDP

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

I went the other way. Made accounts on lemmynsfw and Lemmy.world and then couldn't log into my lemmyworld for some reason.

I browse all from lemmynsfw, and it's virtually pornfree.

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

Similar amount + even more users.

I miss "by type" filters. With politics, news, sport and cats/dogs gone, I'd probably have to block only few communities irrelevant to my interests.

A disclaimer: I love both cats and dogs, but the communities dedicated to either are damn depressing + the photos are usually of shit quality.

[–] zkfcfbzr 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've only blocked a single user: @youtube_[email protected]. The amount of posts from them on my All page was stupid.

I've considered blocking a few people who cross-post, since it's annoying to have the same exact post from the same exact user in 2-4 different communities being on my All page at the same time, but haven't yet.

None, since feddit.de hast lemmynsfw.com blocked. I wouldn't mind porn I think, but it's fine without as well. If I ever want to check out porn lemmy I'll make another account for that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just blocked the entire instance. Does that not work in lemmy?

[–] zkfcfbzr 9 points 11 months ago

Not yet. Hopefully soon!

Honestly, hearing from you that kbin already lets you do that is kind of tempting me to swap over.

[–] ttmrichter 9 points 11 months ago (8 children)

If by "block" you mean "haven't bothered to look at ever" ... well, all of them.

Weirdly I have seen 0 NSFW stuff at all. I use Kbin, browse All/Hot and don’t have Hide NSFW checked.

Instead, my experience has been blocking the endless number of Meme communities.

Just the dicks

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Maybe 12? Just the celebrity ones that kept popping up, really. Not only because I do not give a single fuck about any celebrity enough to have a desire to see them naked, but also because those subs don't actually have porn which is the content I expect from that instance.

I mean, I had to find and make an account on the instance just to see most of it in the first place when I was looking for hentai and furry porn communities.

[–] bigmanjezza 8 points 11 months ago

I only browse on my subscribed list, so I don't really see it much

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

None.... because I don't see any of them. Ever.

If I were subscribed to them, I might see them.

But, I do not see them. EVER.

[–] gridleaf 8 points 11 months ago

I exclusively browse "All" and block communities I don't want to see. I haven't found enough I want to sub to, and those I have subbed to don't have enough content.

[–] morgan_423 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.
