Right; appreciate that, but that's not actually what I want. What I want is to be able to browse All and have any content come up as long as it isn't something that is literally just porn. Like: a meme caption that features a person scantily clad on a beach is fine. A video of a crazy lady screaming and taking her top off? Hilarious. A post that is just "Jessica Smith loves sucking cock" in a "!cumguzzlers" community? Ideally somehow excluded from my list.

It was not a problem in reddit simply because those posts were just not upvoted enough to appear in the All feeds unless you browsed by "New", but here nothing is upvoted enough to block.

I guess I'll just block the communities as they come up.

Feels unlikely to me, personally. Those places were designed for shitheads, and there just aren't that many shitheads to overrun regular places.

I was only a skeptic because the UI of Lemmy is hot garbage when you first get here, and they are crippled by the fundamental point of the infrastructure: That there's no single "correct" place to go. Lemmy the software can't really endorse a single instance.

But it seems like lemmy.world is that one. They should honestly just self promote as if they "are" Lemmy, and let people figure out the rest after they're here.

For me, I just really wanted to stop using Reddit and forced myself to figure it out. It hasn't been an awesome experience, but it feels like the right thing to do. Getting Liftoff on my android phone has helped. I'm still skeptical. And would happily ditch Lemmy if something better came along.

...Is there no way to keep access to NSFW communities but not have straight up porn constantly coming into my feed? Because I am rarely at risk for needing to hide away from NSFW content, but on the other hand I have no interest in the content of 100 different niche porn communities randomly flowing into my feed.

The People Under the Stairs was an awesome, semi-smart 90s horror movie with a social message.

You should go find the How Did This Get Made podcast about it and then listen to that first!

This is not a McMenamins. :( And it doesn't appear to have actually been one in the past..?

Oh neat. Thanks!

Well somebody installed it, of course, but the place is currently the storefront of a noodle shop that used to be a food cart. My guess is it wasn't them, but it feels like the ratio of probable cost to value is way out of wack for any restaurant unless this somehow fit into an aesthetic somehow.

Edit: It used to be called "Industrial Cafe and Saloon", and had an industrial/metal theme. Which does, indeed, explain this.

Is this a joke or do you really know this place?

"Bing Mi Dumpling and Noodle Bar" in Northwest Portland, Oregon. Food was pretty good too fwiw.
