Bye, hope you can figure out the one simple checkbox that blocks all that stuff on whatever other aggregator you end up on.

Yeah I’m deleting this app now. I love a nice alternative to reddit, but considering how much unblurred porn bleeds through to my timeline with no provocation, I really don’t want to run the risk of something truely heinous like whatever is associated with this making it to my Frontpage.

You have an account on an instance with a very active admin team. We were even the first one to report this specific instance to the rest of the admins. We didn’t do it in public to not give them any kind of exposure.
As others in this thread have suggested, you can disable NSFW communities completely by disabling the NSFW flag in your user settings.

If it helps, I use kbin.social (and its PWA for mobile browsing) and haven't seen any porn at all in my feed. I assume it's filtered out by default, but I haven't checked. I don't get any of the extreme political stuff in my feed either.
Tigbitties@kbin.social 8 months ago
Yep. Kbin is the way.
Kaldo@kbin.social 8 months ago
Yep, there was some in the early days but nowadays it seems to be gone to the point I think it's bugged and hiding all NSFW content regardless of your profile setting.
loobkoob@kbin.social 8 months ago
I occasionally see something tagged as "18+", although it's never been porn. I have wondered if it's bugged, too, but I don't really mind either way - there are other websites that are far, far better for porn if that's what I'm looking for. Maybe there's some great non-porn, non-gore content that I've been missing out on, but I think the chances are fairly slim.

It’s honestly depressing at how Lemmy has turned over the last few months since I joined. I would now never mention I use the site or recommend it to others. There’s just too many fucking landmines for new users to step over to have a good experience here.
I’m sticking with it for the time being, but I don’t see myself ever using it again if it gets worse.
Tigbitties@kbin.social 8 months ago
Kbin is much better. I don't see any porn.

Lemmy user here, I don’t see either… The guy has bad settings

You don’t see porn on the front page of lemmy either, if you used the “subscribed” view, instead of treating “ALL” as if it doesn’t contain everything.

I look at “everything” and it shows everything people around the world have made, good and bad, how dare they!

You can simply block NSFW, you can do it in your settings

Might be wise to reverse the default. Those who want can enable it.
davidgro@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s how it is. Even on the largest porn instance (lemmynsfw.com), you need to check the box explicitly on the sign up page. (And on the second biggest I know of (pornlemmy.com) there’s a full page consent splash screen before even you can even reach the sign up page.
The thread starter is complaining about posts which should be marked as NSFW, but are not. I personally haven’t noticed any of that, but I mostly stick to “subscribed” views instead of “All”
antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
That’s how Lemmy works already. When you register, the registration page gives the option to enable NSFW - i.e. it is off by default. (At least on lemmy.world and on dbzer0, I haven’t checked other instances but I believe they work the same, except the porn instances.)
