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?
You’ve been getting dog dicks? If they’re drawn and attached a human like beast, that’s us and I’m sorry. If they’re like, not that? That’s not us, fuck those people.
Well said bruh, surprise boobs are nice to have back again. Definitely a lot of hentai and furries, but it’s a mild annoyance. Not seeing so much commey or right wing stuff though, so I think that’s people trying to shit talk Lemmy
I don’t get any porn… Am I doing something wrong?
Lemmy actually has two different “trending” feeds. Active, which seems to show posts that are getting more comments, and Hot, which seems more focused on votes. You probably have Active selected by default. Turns out porn gets lots of upvotes but doesn’t generate a lot of conversation.
I’ve just checked both active and hot (and for what it’s with, also checked new and and the other options). No porn or nsfw posits in at least the first several screenfulls of scrolling through “all”
Show nsfw is turned on on my account settings.
Maybe you’re on lemmy.ml or one of the other instances defederated from lemmynsfw where most of it is from 🤷
They are on the same instance as you are (lemmy.world).
What ‘my friends’ have done is make an acct on lemmynsfw and one on ml, the apps allow you you to swap between accounts in 2 button presses. (Jeroba for me). So I have porn mode and doom scrolling mode.
Are they too dumb to uncheck the “show NSFW” button in settings? It was the same in Reddit idk. Can’t do much about Communism, but at least the Lenin porn is blocked.
I wish there was a “Show Communism” switch too
Just visit .ml
I mean, to switch it off 😆
Stick to beehaw?
Read a book and learn what communication is and isn’t
You mean communism? I studied it. A beautiful theory. Sadly it doesn’t work
Reddit has NSFW off by default on new accounts.
Doesn’t Lemmy also do this? On the few accounts I have across instances I’ve had to explicitly check the “Show NSFW” box when I create my account.
I think so.
Wait. Where is this Lenin porn you speak of?
… in Warsaw.
For people who didn’t watch way too many Zizek talks: Zizek used this joke to illustrate a point. As it goes, I completely forgot the point, but memorized the joke. Probably because I’m a pervert. Here goes: In an exhibition in Moscow, there’s a painting with the title “Lenin in Warsaw” depicting a woman who looks suspiciously like Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin’s wife, screwing what appears to be a student. A confused visitor asks the guide standing beneath the painting: “But where’s Lenin?” The guide, of course, answers: “Lenin is in Warsaw.”
I don’t really have much problem with communism posts or comment, but too many communists/socialists are praising Lenin or Stalin which is just fucking stupid on so many levels.
Weird. I don’t see much of that at all, even on “All”. I guess it depends on what instance you join.
I have show NSFW content and have yet to see any.
Honestly, i haven’t seen a single NSFW post in lemmy. But if someone know where I can find it, so that I avoid visiting there.
That’s rich, especially since Communism and Porn are EXTREMELY common on Reddit.
Isn’t that why we’re here?
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.
Same. Block is a key feature. That said, I’m actually fascinated at how many furry communities there are. You’d think blocking c/furry would take care of 90% of the problem, but who knew c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair had such a dedicated following.
c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair
(It isn’t really, but I do like those Eames chairs…)
I haven’t seen this one in years.
The inside of those fursuits must smell awful.
Lmao that’s a comically specific /c/
It’s funny how when there’s no algorithm to dictate what you see, it’s furries and gay porn (for mastodon) that show up.
I don’t think it’s a bad thing that people complain about problematic viewpoints, even if they can block them.
Being a furry is a problematic viewpoint?
Some people might actually think that and I find that hilarious
You can also hide the NSFW content entirely, but some people are never happy.
Thank you! I’ve just been browsing with NSFW turned off, but: A) I actually would rather turn on the blur function if there wasn’t literal porn throughout the “all” feed. B) A bunch of mild soft core stuff like “pretty women” and “celebs” gets through anyway.
Can’t believe it never occurred to me to use the block button to shape the all feed.
I’d like to block entire servers myself. But I can’t find a way to block the whole nsfw one. Individual communities yes, but I’d like to not see the whole server.
One of the nice things you can do on kbin, but I don’t think you can on Lemmy yet
Just move to an instance that has defederated from major nsfw instances.
It would be nice if there was a directory that made it clear what server has defederated what.
Fragmentation and the lack of continuity and good navigation is seriously going to be what kills any chance a federated Reddit alternative has at becoming even 25% as large as Reddit was.
Yeah, the only way defederation is a feature is if there’s a way (even if it’s standardized at the client-side) to merge that defederation for those who want a cohesive experience.
It’d almost be better if every user could pick their own “federations” instead of it being at the server level. Obviously the servers need to have that control and my hypothetical might not be in throwing range of what lemmy can/should do.
Use a different instance, some block it
I read earlier today that at least one instance is defederated from lemmynsfw so you can try making an account on that/one of those…
Find the hosts file on your machine. Add a line for the domain you want to block, like so:
lemmy.annoyingassholes.com 0.0.0.0
If that didn’t make sense, google the terms I used and you’ll find tons of tutorials.
Eh, I understand that. Theres a whitelist approach and there’s a blacklist approach. Should you browse !all while cherrypicking blocks or should you manage your experience with subscriptions.
The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.
I’m so confused by posts like this. I see very little porn stuff on /all/. How are so many others seeing it everywhere?
Some instances block it
Am I the only one who, like…never sees any porn in their feeds?
Create two accounts, one with NSFW content turned off, and one with it on.
That sucks just as much lol
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
That’s why we need some 3rd party apps to make swapping amounts seamless.
Or just make a NSFW-less account on one instance and a NSFW-ful account on a different instance. You don’t even need to log out of one to switch to the other. Just change the URL slightly.
It’s pretty seamless on Jerboa. I’ve got this account on lemmy.one and a different account on lemmynsfw. Works great.
Jerboa is really good, I’m very hopeful about it.
Memmy
Imagine suggesting this thinking the average user wants to manage this bullshit.
Pro tip: make accounts on different instances, so you don’t need to log in and out but just type in a different url
🤦♂️ you people really really don’t get it do you 🤣
You could just browse your subscribed communities instead of All.
hard to find new communities without using All
That’s why I’m subscribed to newcommunities@lemmy.world
Yeah I agree, I mean I still mainly browse All. However that’s always going to be the price you pay. You want everything, you get everything.
Problem is that the website and clients never remember that I want Subscribed to be the default.
You can change that in your profile settings, and I’d imagine most apps as well.
That’s lemmy.world for you lol
Is that too difficult?
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.
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.
I’ve been on Lemmy.world for about a month now and have hardly seen any porn at all. Not sure what these people are looking for that is getting them so much porn.
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.
True lol. I’m not the one complaining, though, I’m just the guy who thought the combination was hilarious and got an idea for a meme 😁
Communists are fine, tankies on the other hand are not. It’s not fun watching tankies defend the USSR as someone who had a large part of their family deported to their death camps.
I believe that US-Americans are unable to do so because https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww

Its pretty rude to be a shitheel, too.
Yet here you are, embracing it fully.
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.
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.
I almost forgot about Slashdot! Gosh, that was decent back in the day. I remember unsubscribing from their email newsletter years ago, after I noticed a consistent trend in topics being unfavourable to my ethos.
Slashdot was great and then I remember after DICE bought them they lost originality and the comments were just people meta complaining. Same feeling as you about the ethos change. Felt greasy at the end of my time there.
enshittification
ThinkGeek use to be great. Still have the titanium spork I got from them for conventions and the “if you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the precipitate” tshirt.
This is the most patronizing response in here 🤣
Christ 🤦♂️
Communist America sounds like an upgrade to me. Just don’t go Trotsky or we’ll have ww3 on our hands.
Eh, communists on Lemmy are the “Russia and China are great” kind of communists.
What they call communism I call crony capitalism with a sprinkle of feudalism, aka the only ones that actually count are the very rich extremely well connected people appointed by the supreme ruler, everyone else counts for less than zero.
TBH America seems less of a capitalist hellscape than either of those countries, which is saying something…
I for one welcome my new meme, porn, and communism content overlords.
Oh how quickly redditors forgot that r/all was packed full of porn not so long ago…
Not as much, I remember having to scroll down a good bit before seeing any. But yes
When did you arrive on Reddit’s shores? Back when Digg collapsed there was gonewild porn on the front page every day.
I was going to reply 5 years, but then I remembered that we’re in 2023… Jesus
I guess 10 or 9 years thenSexually explicit material was removed in early 2021.
Initially I missed the occasional boobies but then realized not seeing the same 5 onlyfans chicks with a bunch of cult followers was refreshing.
That said I’m all in for some naughty content on the all feed to help identify where those communities are. Until there’s too much OF promotion.
