I guess I'm doing it wrong then, all I see are days old posts about how this place isn't reddit and how people are délétion their reddit posts, and how life without reddit is si much more betterer. REDDIT!
Where are the tits?
I have seen so much more porn on a single night of reddit than I have the entire time I've been on lemmy. I feel this is just a weird psyop to scare people away from the "degenerate leftist place!"
I dunno what instance you're on, but I have allowed NSFW on lemmy.world and rarely have I seen porn. Thankfully a lot of it is over at lemmynsfw.com instead so I can see stuff labeled NSFW here without being flooded with porn. Unless .world defederated from lemmysnfw at some point. I haven't paid attention to much meta news and who has defederated from who.
Maybe I haven't been hanging around Lemmy that long, but I haven't seen any NSFW stuff yet. Might be tempting fate, and considering I am looking at Lemmy at work.
As far as I can tell there isn't actually that much? The only instance that really hosts it front and center is lemmyNSFW, and thats pretty small compared to most other spots
I saw a few nasty pics of a woman defaecating that were just slipped into random trending posts a couple of days ago, but it seems to have calmed down now. No idea how that kind of thing is going to be prevented in the future, but hopefully there will be something.
One thing that annoyed me a bit was that Lemmy Connect was not blurring the images, even though they had been heavily downvoted and I had blur NSFW enabled. I guess it only blurs things tagged, not things that have been downvoted, and it might be worth adding the option to blur images on -n downvotes as an option to enable users to crowd source censor images.
Porn is always the trailblazer. Without the demand for porn we wouldn't have had VHS (and hence the whole concept of video on demand in your home), or instant credit card payment gateways.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: an unhealthy amount of porn = a healthy community.
Pretty sure my instance also blocks porn. Can't say I mind it, really, because I can just create an account on a porn instance.
Allows me to keep NSFW posts on, but not have to worry about pulling up a pic of a gaped ass in public. Plus if I was interested in following porn communities, I'd probably create a second account anyway. And then I wouldn't even have to wade through all of the regular stuff, I could just sign up for a porn instance. Win-win.
I don't know how the hell some of these peeps in the comments are somehow avoiding it, but I've had to block probably a dozen or more communities before I could just enjoy Lemmy normally.
Seems to me that everyone with this opinion lives on Lemmy.world and peeps in other instances or on Kbin see something different, not sure why that happens
I have enabled NSFW content on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.
When I look up specific NSFW content, the results on lemmy.world are way more. Especially for NSFW instances, but also some posts itself.
So for some reason, the result on lemmy.ml (and other instance) are censored and filtered.
I mean, it's fine if you don't look for that content.
What makes me wonder is, why there is no information about it when you join an instance.
You can change your account settings to filter out all NSFW content.
Alternatively, since NSFW can include more than just porn, you can block specific NSFW communities (most of which will probably come from lemmynsfw.com) as you encounter them. While logged in, if you encounter an NSFW community in your feed, just click on it to go to its main page (ex. !naked@lemmynsfw.com, a community from my own blocklist), go to the sidebar, and click "Block Community".
Its pretty crazy. I'm using Connect for Lemmy on Android, and I'd say at least 30% of the communities are NSFW/Porn. I spend an inordinate amount of time blocking communities. I also blocked the NSFW instance, and its helped some. but still.. . Ya'll some horny mfers.
I'm using Connect for Lemmy, and under "All" it's everywhere. If you can't find it, you aren't looking. Would like an easier way to filter it all out rather than blocking individual communities
