Weird. I don't see much of that at all, even on "All". I guess it depends on what instance you join.

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did your instance defederate lemmynsfw.com? It shows up quite a bit on my "all" feed.

[–] mochi@lemdit.com 39 points 1 year ago

Sorry for the late reply. It's been a busy couple of weeks. I double-checked and it isn't defederated. I think maybe no one had ever looked up content from the server before so it wasn't showing up. It hadn't federated yet. Now that I've pulled in posts with a search, I might have opened the floodgate. LOL.

I guess they haven't discovered the button to block communities?

My feed is quite nice after blocking the stuff that doesn't appeal to me.

You can also hide the NSFW content entirely, but some people are never happy.

Never happy

[–] Mercival@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some phone apps do not support that feature. Couldn't find it in Memmy for Lemmy for example, so I bounced.

You can of course always do it through the web interface.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Memmy has it. Tap the community name and then the three dots in the top right. “Block community” will pop up as an option.

I’ve been using it to block Anime/Manga/Hentai communities as fast as they make ‘em. It’s never-ending with that stuff.

[–] Lars34@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Create two accounts, one with NSFW content turned off, and one with it on.

[–] Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That sucks just as much lol

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Why's that? I've been using a separate account for porn on reddit for over a decade. It's the only way to go imo

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's why we need some 3rd party apps to make swapping amounts seamless.

[–] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 1 points 1 year ago

Voyager does this pretty well.

I want more communism

[–] Bricktamland29@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Reddit refuge here. I'm super sad to see people trying to turn lemmy into reddit, this is our chance to make it better. Stop filling the new feed with reddit archive bullshit.

Secondly, I'm fine with the porn. I miss scrolling r/all and getting the surprise boob. Surprise boobs are the best.

Although I will say the furry community on lemmy is fierce. I've blocked like 40 communities and I'm still getting dog dicks in my feed. How many different communities do you people need?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait... How am I missing out on all this NSFW content? I'm just seeing Linux and Star Trek memes, somebody help me find the titties!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure most of it is on the lemmynsfw instance, which some instances have defederated with out of either prudishness or a ridiculous notion that all porn is inherently exploitative. Maybe you're on one of those? 🤷

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Accord to https://status.lemm.ee, lemm.ee is federated with lemmynsfw and I even personally sub to a couple lemmynsfw communities. I also have NSFW enabled and unblurred in settings, and still I never see porn unless I actively seek it out. I want surprise titties, goddamn it!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Damn, that sucks. Maybe if you use a lemmy client that lets you mark communities as favorites you'll be more likely to have some thrown into your feed now and then?

I'm using Thunder, which has that. Can't say for sure how effective it is yet, though, as I only found out the day before yesterday and haven't done any measured testing..

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Hey, I don't love my client yet, so I'm down to check out Thunder. Thanks for the recommendation, whether it ends up not helping me find my sought-after surprise titties or not 👍

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

No problem 😁

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It's ramping up that way.

I think it's great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It's good Internetting.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reminds me of old school slashdot. A mix of techies, skeptics and libertarians. Luckily, the Demon Haunted World quotes stuck over the Ayn Rand junk. Last time I went on slashdot, it seems the libertarians took over. Never thought I'd see anti vaxxers there.

No, I've missed the NSFW content. Reddit got rid of all the fun stuff for crypto spam.

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Porn is like raid for the ad cock roaches. Nobody will try to advertise if there's a lot of porn.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

That being the case: Viva la smut!

[–] Drop_All_Users@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

In our feeds, comrade.

[–] pauzalala@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Me who never get porn contents on my feed :()

[–] torpak@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

It's pretty rude to come into a new community and the first thing you do is complain. Not everyone is as obsessed with avoiding communist thoughts as much as US-Americans. Deal with it. As for NSFW: just switch it off.

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.

Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I'd go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.

There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It's never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.

It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist's livestock.

Ant's eye view: I'm here because my app stopped working 😂

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This has less to do with liking capitalism than it does with self-avowed communists on the internet being insufferable.
