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…)
The inside of those fursuits must smell awful.
Lmao that’s a comically specific /c/
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
Zoomers gonna zoom
E: Apparently zoomers can’t take a joke. Get over yourselves nerds
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.
The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.
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.
Memmy
Imagine suggesting this thinking the average user wants to manage this bullshit.
I’m so confused by posts like this. I see very little porn stuff on /all/. How are so many others seeing it everywhere?
Am I the only one who, like…never sees any porn in their feeds?
Is that too difficult?
You could just browse your subscribed communities instead of All.
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.
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…
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.
You can see what an instance has defederated by adding /instances to the URL of the instance. There’s no way to see it for more than one instance (at a time) as far as I know, so yeah, have to agree with you.
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.
You can also hide the NSFW content entirely, but some people are never happy.
The ratio right now is a bit off compared to Reddit…I didn’t mind the occasional NSFW post when it was ~1% of my feed. But on Lemmy ATM it’s about 10%. I do block em, but I feel like I’m missing the occasional NSFW post that’s important (say war updates from Ukraine, etc)
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.
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.

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 🤦♂️
Oh how quickly redditors forgot that r/all was packed full of porn not so long 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?
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
Can you show me one? I’m genuinely curious because I have not seen any porn show up in my feeds. And I just specifically looked in all of them. I wonder if it’s a bug. Did you sign up recently?
Yeah what instances have that porn?
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 😂
This has less to do with liking capitalism than it does with self-avowed communists on the internet being insufferable.
Oh no, the open source community who worked together to create a great ecosystem for free and fto the benefit of all, in the face of data greedy capitalists are commies!
Save me from these sexy FOSS anticapitalists
Exactly. I legitimately long for an actual leftist space which isn’t just edgy anti-western brain rot. I want to actually discuss theory and praxis and statecraft with people who can actually acknowledge that obsessive Chinese autocracy should be condemned as harshly as western imperialism. Unfortunately, my experience on Lemmy has once again demonstrated that this is impossible.
It’s one thing to be a communist; it’s another to be an apologist for the CCP.
Americans want socialism. This is spun as “communism” to distract and distort the argument.
And what really is the difference between Socialism and Communism?
Communism entails the collective ownership and administration of all means of production and the absence of social classes, while socialism advocates for worker control over means of production within a democratic society, allowing for some individual ownership and social stratification.
In addition, there are different levels of socialism. “Some” individual ownership turns people off. “The State owns the house I worked so hard to pay off?” You can have full private ownership of your things AND have single-payer health care, top-tier public education, reining in predatory banks, etc. We want to be Norway, not Venezuela.
Your government is directly responsible for Venezuela’s instability. Your government’s entire foreign policy is destabilizing different parts of the world to float the Dollar as the main currency and you the citizens benefit the most from it, this is why I cringe inwardly when Americans complain of Capitalism’s adverse effects, if you enjoyed it while it was good, you must enjoy it while it gets bad.
As a venezuelan, no. What happened and still happens here was the sole responsibility of the socialist party’s government and the ultimate reason why I don’t trust leftists as they don’t own up their failures and just disregard them as “not true socialism”
The government of Venezuela isn’t blameless but to think that American sanctions didn’t affect the Venezuelan economy are the words of a true partisan. Your kind set up piano wire and beheaded civilians on motor bikes in Venezuela and I find that despicable.
Most Americans definitely do not want socialism. People simply want things to be affordable, and be able to live with the social services we need readily available, and to have the freedom to do what they want. That’s not socialism, that’s a well functioning democracy with a strong economy.
A lot of Americans “definitely do not want” Obamacare either, but they sure don’t want to give up the improvements that came with the Affordable Care Act.
In other words, Americans hate the label, but not the policies.
(By the way, regarding your other comment: FDR doesn’t get to decide what words mean. It doesn’t matter whether he called himself a socialist or not; what matters is whether he acted like one.)
Tell me a time in history when this existed without FDR’s socialism.
FDR said he was not a Socialist.

I’m having an easier time arguing with tankies then I did with right wingers. Right wingers don’t even believe themselves, so they shift the goal posts around to suit their needs.
Liberals try to understand political nuance challenge: Impossible!
Where’s the nuance in simping for an authoritarian state-capitalist regime? It’s like the people who unironically think the DPRK is more democratic than the US.
I’m going to let you re-read the comments and think harder about how to re-interpret them.
I believe in you. Unless you’re a liberal, then you proved my point.
Fuck China, and fuck the United States I live in. The nations of the Nordic region and a few other developed nations have my respect because they respect and value their citizenry. Their economy is a tool that is used to facilitate the distribution of goods and services for the benefit of their society and its citizens, what an economy is supposed to be, instead of doing it ass backwards as we do, hurting citizens to protect the beloved fucking economy and the growth/metastasis expectations of the owner class.
China/The US/Russia are the world leaders in exporting the notion that their citizens should be exploited to stoke the growth of the economy for the benefit of their respective elites. Whoever wins, their people lose.
Why should I go rah rah America when most stakeholders in our society are not meaningful institutional shareholders in the value society produces?
It shouldn’t be about saying simon says or coming out of a rich vagina or if not making perfect economic decisions and kissing ass from age 18, begging to be included and killing yourself for masters who were born into wealth for a small chance of being included in the prosperity of the prosperous nation you’re supposedly a member of.
And don’t you just love the class traitors here that come out to celebrate the failures of citizens who tried? oh you took out student loans in a subject that in hindsight didn’t pay dividends, haha loser. Oh you just started working and didnt get an education and are stuck in the underclass, haha loser. That’s what it means to be an American, rooting against one another as the owner class laughs.
To me, the definition of a 3rd world country is about how the poor are living there.
You can live a nice life in literally any country, if you have enough money. But how do those live, who don’t have anything? That’s what differentiates between a decent country and a 3rd world country.
Those nordic countries are suported by a global network of unequal exchange
I’m someone still recovering from republican/libertarian capitalist brainwashing. Would you know of a good book or two on this subject? It’s fascinating to me.
Like on which topic? Capitalist critiques, options for a better society, inequality?
Capitalist critiques mainly.
The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein (easy) A Brief History of Neoliberalism by David Harvey (medium)
True.
On a slightly broader note: just people going out of their way to justify bad behavior.
As a communist who hates the CCP I see this as a win.
Some days it’s hard to tell the difference…
I’m on lemmy.world and there’s been virtually no NSFW content I’m seeing on this account. I had to create an account on lemmynsfw.com to be able to start seeing it. Hell, I have an Instagram account specifically to see NSFW stuff and I still find my feed filled with completely SFW funny animal videos, baking creations, and woodworking. The internet does not want me to give in to my vulgar proclivities.
There’s virtually no nsfw content on lemmynsfw (unless you have to log in?)
There’s lots what are you talking about?
I just saw tons of sfw celebrity pics
Yes, NSFW content is hidden unless you log in.
I’m trying Connect and checked that NSFW is OK for me to see. In these two days I’ve seen like seven NSFW posts. LOL
In our feeds, comrade.
People on lemmy.ml thinking we just really enjoy Mali.
It’s actually been super refreshing to, generally, be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist and not immediately get downvoted into oblivion. There are still some of the kneejerk reactions to the CPC, but even then people seem more willing to engage on good-faith even with disagreements.
be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist
CPC
I think those two things are not the same and quite incompatible. Modern China is a capitalist hellscape, certainly not the communist utopia Marx had in mind. They have one of the highest levels of wealth disparity in the world and the highest number of billionaires, even more than the US.
I fully believe that Marx would be horrified if he saw modern China.
It’s always the people who haven’t read Marx who say this.
Where’s your source on wealth disparities and number of billionaires? I see this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_equality https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_billionaires (make sure you’re sorting by per capita)
Theres is a lot of nuance to that argument. Even Marx agreed that a capital stage is a necessary step on the way to communism. That’s the whole dialect part of dialect materialism. Each step of the ladder has to be walked through and past as it becomes obsolete.
I think he meant that it was necessary when going from a capitalist society to a communist society. China went from a rural society to a communist society to a capitalist society.
To be honest, nothing against that, it’s obvious to me that communism as applied by the USSR or Mao or the Kims does not really work and the people really suffered for that, but if you do believe in the communist tenants, then China and Russia are as far away from that as you can possibly get.
woah woah woah…
I haven’t seen any porn since I joined lemmy. Where do I find this…porn?
It’s mostly on the instance lemmynsfw.com, but you should be able to see it when looking at All. Maybe the app you’re using has NSFW content blocked by default? Yeah there’s a ton of porn, but mostly just images or links to red gif
Create 2 accounts. One for daily reading with NSFW turned off, and another account with NSFW content for one handed reading. Problem solved.
The only trouble is that not everything NSFW is porn. Your suggestion only works if you never want to see things like potentially-disturbing news articles, fail videos where somebody gets injured, etc. either. (Or if you’re a sicko who gets off on that stuff too, I suppose!)
We like to be called cummies
Cummunism
Yes cummrade!
Let us all Cum together, for the power of the Prostatariat!
I have not seen any porn. What am I doing wrong?
deleted by creator
I’m on all. Still no porn. I’d like it to stay that way tho
Join lemmynsfw.com
3 possible things:
- You have nsfw turned off in settings
- your instance blocks pornographic instances (mine does)
- You’re not sorting right. nsfw stuff is not going to show up in active because no one discusses it. Try hot
I tried hot. I tried top too. I’m on .world and ‘show nsfw’ is checked on.
?
LOL same
Pepperidge farm remembers when reddit had porn on the all page.
Hang on, where is this NSFW content? I need to review it… i mean, before I can express this outrage too.
