Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
I think horror or gore should go to NSFL rather than moving porn off NSFW. NSFW had traditionally meant porn where NSFL has meant gore, there just hasn’t been a separate NSFL tag because that type of content has been discouraged and giving it it’s own tag could be seen as legitimizing it.
Horror doesn’t mean gore and people use the nsfw tag for things other than porn, gore or horror too.
Horror should still be nsfl
I totally agree with @[email protected] (damn you scrolling comment setting)👆
It would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.
For real, if I could block lemmynsfw that would remove 90% of the porn from my feed.
I swear I blocked every community on there but more keep showing up…
100% there needs to be a way to block lemmynsfw, I say this even as an admin for it!
Ha, great reply
Nothing against your instance, just wish I could hide it from my “all” feed without hiding all NSFW content.
Agreed. There needs to also have more granular federation options (blocking images, forcing NSFW on another instances posts, silence them in c/all, etc etc)
Well Lemmy just needs more nuanced search and filter capabilities in general.
I would like to be able to say “don’t show me nsfw in my normal feed.” Sometimes I want to see nsfw content, but I want to specifically search for it, and I don’t think Lemmy’s user-level curation tools allow for that kind of richness yet.
Incidentally, I’ve found a structural problem in Lemmy’s UI that I noticed because of the unique nature of lemmynsfw. Y’all restrict browsing topics to logged in accounts, the reasons for which I understand. But from my account on sh.itjust.works, I can’t go to another instance and browse the communities they have there. I get redirected to that community’s homepage, where I don’t have an account, so I’m not logged in…see the issue here? I can search, but not browse, other instances while logged into my fediverse account.
A problem that existed on Reddit as well but is worse on Lemmy: There’s no topic/directory structure. Here’s an example I ran into here that I’ve cited before: Someone on some instance spun up a bunch of communities about some sports ball league. They created a nearly identical community for each team in the league complete with a nearly identical bot that posted scores in each community. I think this is a perfectly valid use case for Lemmy, this is legitimate and valid traffic that 100% deserves to be on the fediverse. I also think it’s really spammy for those of us who aren’t interested in sports and I’d like a convenient way to filter it out. If instances specialized in topics and there was a lemmysports.world I could personally block, that would pretty much do it…except that pretty much didn’t happen. There are general purpose instances, political extremist outcast instances, lemmynsfw, and kbin. A topic/directory structure might let non-sports fans easily say “don’t show me /sports/” but…nope that’s not a thing. So tailoring your feed to your preferences is a Sisyphean task, and I don’t immediately see a solution to this.
What about the content on lemmy.world? A few communities were set up on this instance as well.
What’s the second one
You know, so I can block it too
There’s also yiffit (.net I think?) and some .uk instance, like lemmef.uk or something
Yeah, I originally left it unchecked because I’m fine with non-porn NSFW stuff, but the porn was so overwhelming I just had to block it all.
Alternatively a filter for “hentai” and a more general “anime” filter would also be nice.
I’m an anime person but let’s face it. People only post anime when it’s boobs or NSFW material. I got in an argument with someone over not wanting to see obvious NSFW on Lemmy when it wasn’t tagged and his argument was “they’re in a swimsuit” which btw is not sfw by any means.
I’d love an anime filter tag

I fail to see how that’s a me problem
can we just block instances at the user account level?
I think i saw there is a merge request for this up on git, which hopefully means it’s not far away
That’s great news. I’ll try find the link
This is really the best solution
Many of the Android apps let you filter instances, as well as individual communities or users. Most instances don’t host porn because of the legal headache, so blocking the only two that specialize in it should (mostly) do the trick: lemmynsfw and pornlemmy. On Sync for Lemmy, tap the overflow button on an offending post > filter > filter instance
I get that, but I don’t feel good about that solution. You’re sort of beholden to that specific client.
Given new lemmy is as a platform, I don’t want to feel locked in yet (though I understand instance block lists might be cross compatible between all client apps supporting the feature).
Another counter argument is that an instance block list should be relatively short. Keeping this list in a separate location and manually re-applying will probably not take up a lot of time.
Ideally this would be baked into ActivityPub, true, as would a distinction between porn, gore, and other sensitive topics for easy filtering by flair. But in the meantime, I’m relatively satisfied with the (admittedly hacked together) approach we have now. We already spend a couple minutes playing around with the look and feel of any new client we download, and filters are just part of that “settling in” process. If we had a bunch of them to set, it’d be one thing. But porn filtering really is just a matter of tagging one or two instances to cover 99% of the content out there. And the best part is that you’re not even digging through the settings, you’re tapping 3 buttons (max) on posts if you see them at all. As far as inconveniences go when switching apps, that one’s pretty minor.
As for being “locked in” and beholden to a particular client, are you really locked in if all of them let you do the same things (albeit in their own ways)?
My primary gripe with the ‘lock in’ part is the experience divergence between mobile client apps and the desktop web view.
Nsfl = inury / death
Nsfw = curse words, a boob, etc
Porn tag for porn and art with nude chicks
“NSFW” is such a terrible overloaded term.
I like this. Nudity shouldnt be joined with porn.
Porn is the act of having any sexcual activity. A video of naked art or whatever is not porn, but maybe nsfw.
The old reddit rule says that wild things are porn and porn things are random ass photos of neat things… also, words strongly suggesting things related to the sex are just cats…
So, we need a better wording for the porn-porn tag
Or a NUDE tag to cover all of the uncovered.
Can we have the exact opposite?
“Safe” tagging?
No, way to tag nsfw that’s not porn.
I think overall a good way would be to add content warnings like other fediverse software and making it so that you can set specific communities to have specific content warnings to be applied.
Wait, the Fediverse has porn? Uh, asking for a friend.
Apparently. According to what someone says anyway 😇
