Or just copy Mastodon and do content warnings. They’re a lot more versatile.
The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL.

How so, for those of us who are avoidant of other places?
mojo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m confused on what your question is
A content warning tag is similar to a spoiler tag, but you can fill out the warning yourself. So you could type something like “movie ending spoiler” or on Mastodon you’ll see considerate triggers like “TW: suicide” for various trigger warnings.
Which the ability for that makes more sense then having multiple individual tags. Also ActivityPub supports it already anyways, and it works nicely on Mastodon

Not Safe for Work versus Not Safe for Life?
gavi@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
I think content warnings would be a better approach to this, all other fediverse software have content warnings anyway. Making community content to force use content warnings would be helpful too.
dth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
i agree, use of cw would be more useful because ’nsfw’ is just too vague and not specific enough.

Not safe for lemmy
zeekaran@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Not safe for looking. Gore, usually.
Subverb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve never once heard it called “Not Safe for Looking”.
Thats like a few years ago when my wife said she thought LOL was “Lots of Love”.
favrion@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Al Gore?
Bebo@literature.cafe 1 year ago
Lol even I thought it’s not safe for life and was wondering what’s that about
Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Life is correct, NSFW is just something risqué or something that has bad language that you shouldn’t look at at work, but NSFL is like gore or something disgusting or terrible that you shouldn’t look at EVER unless you’re desensitized lol
JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I haven’t seen anything gorey here, luckily. I would much rather see an automatic video tag for both titles and comments. Kind of sick of opening YouTube unintentionally.
Hildegarde@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I regularly see videos and images from the war in Ukraine on lemmy. It is marked as NSFW, and blurred, so it looks nearly identical at a glance to content that is NSFW due to sexual content.
I would prefer if those two things were visually distinct in the interface.
JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Maybe it’s because my main account is lemm.ee? I just don’t see that stuff at all and I primarily browse All.
zeppo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There was some video a few weeks ago where some guy fucked up passing on a motorcycle and shredded his foot. Then showed it, quite graphically.
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Just do NSFW and PORN.
Porn is the reason for wanting a distinction, so don’t beat around the bush.Blueberrydreamer@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
A gore or nsfl tag is much more important than a porn one. The disturbing shit that will haunt my nightmares is what I want to keep off my feed, I’m not particularly worried about accidentally seeing some genitals.
Perfide@reddthat.com 1 year ago
No, the NSFL tag is more important imo. I don’t mind seeing tits randomly, I do not wanna see gore ever, period.
cm0002@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Even NSFL could be ideally split into NSFL and ENSFL (Extremely Not Safe for Life)
I don’t mind seeing like an X-RAY of somebody who broke their arm in 4 places, but a photo of it IRL and blood everywhere is ENSFL
Thrillhouse@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think gore as well. Things can be nsfw but also not gore.
kib48@lemm.ee 1 year ago
at that point it’d probably be better to just have a CW system like Mastodon
CleoTheWizard@beehaw.org 1 year ago
That’s not what the terms are aimed at though? NSFW covers a very broad range of things. You expect it to be pork 95% of the time, so it already means that. The main thing people want to separate are things like gore, death, racism, etc. So that’s what is being asked for. Separate links out because a NSFL link should seldom be clicked on but imo deserves to exist for discussion and calling out people on legitimate issues.
I was never a fan of the “death porn” put on Reddit but I do appreciate the real and unsanitized reality of some situations when the news can’t show them.
TheFrirish@jlai.lu 1 year ago
oh yeah I’m doing bro don’t worry
colourlesspony@pawb.social 1 year ago
Can we add spoilers too?
gavi@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
They are already there. But it’s in wonky markdown…

RIGHT!?!?! Like I hate taking a gamble on whether or not I’ll see an infected maggot ridden foot, or a big breasted cat girl turning into a Willy Wonka blueberry
Comment105@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Some of these responses seem to find bouncers and springers more gross than wounds, death and diseases. Like a bunch of psycho puritan Catholic warmongers.
Misconduct@startrek.website 1 year ago
We grew up watching people getting cut in half in movies while mom covered our eyes if a nipple appeared lol
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Where even are you seeing gore? I left Reddit a while back and I miss eyeblech.
FrederikNJS@lemm.ee 1 year ago
There’s plenty of combat footage in the various combat footage and Ukraine related communities.
Stern@lemmy.world 1 year ago
one more reason to not go back: they banned it.
littlecolt@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Wait, they banned eyebleach? Fucking monsters…
schwim@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Absolutely. Throwing everything that you may not want to open at work in with porn as an all-or-nothing view choice is incredibly shortsighted.
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Yeah, porn stars would appreciate being able to see their work without having to expose themselves to Gore et al
SGG@lemmy.world 1 year ago
NSFW and NSFL can mean different things to different people and cultures.
Best example is that in some countries, showing a boob isn’t straight away NSFW as much as it is in America.
Opposite example: In America, showing blood is almost G rated at this point (at least it feels that way to a non-American watching American media). In China you effectively can’t show blood in any media.
As has been mentioned in the comments already one solution would be more specific categories, probably customizable by site admins to suit their particular site culture. Either that or a site can stick to just a single NSFW tag to donate a more “hey, this might not be the best thing to look at on the job”.
thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The distinction is made to differentiate between two very different and clearly separated categories, one being just inapproriate to show around (a boob on your phone in a public is inappropriate pretty much everywhere, not just in the puritan US) and straight disturbing content that you might never want to see, even in private.
Different customizeable categories would be needlessly complicated to implement in every client
gavi@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
This is one of my dream features to make lemmynsfw moderation easier, alongside site mods and content warnings ~(alongside the ability to edit and force nsfw on posts in specific communities… and maybe being able to by default turn off instances caching OUR images as a “do not cache” server flag…)~
Abnorc@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I can see many people in the comments mentioning various levels of specificity for the tags. I think porn and gore should perhaps have a tag each. Maybe one or two more categories, but having too many would complicate posting on Lemmy a lot. For example, whether or not to put a politics tag may be ambiguous in some cases. I’m not sure about historical artwork, as there are situations where it’s normal to be viewing it. There are also some works that I’d rather not be seen looking at in all places: some of that stuff got weird. Not to mention: people marking things NSFW as a joke just confuses things further.
I never noticed it being a big problem though. I think just having one, two , maybe three different tags at most and letting communities play it by ear would work fine.
toxicbubble@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d rather we get rid of downvotes, serves no purpose but too “disagree”
Comment105@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Screw that nonsense. Trash exists and should be binned, your comment case-in-point.
PatFussy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Downvotes basically allows for dogpiling and allows stupid people to circlejerk. Also, i am perfectly ok with getting downvotes but others are not. These weak boned sensitive weenies delete their comments the first sign that people disagree so thats why you see everyone agreeing on everything. This is compounded with the fact that the fediverse is a series of bubbles so, for instance, i will immediately know I will disagree with someone if they have a lemmigrad or hexbear in their name.
Dagrothus@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Downvotes help to mitigate disinformation, ads, etc. It’s a big reason why old reddit posts are such a good resource for so many topics. When any random idiot can post garbage on the same footing as an actually useful comment, you end up with Facebook or those copy paste/AI articles at the top of Google searches.
AndreTelevise@lemm.ee 1 year ago
NSFL is just another name for gore or footage of death or injury. “Not safe for life” is not a thing. There’s no actual image that can kill you unless you have epilepsy or some other form of photosensitivity. I heard “Not safe for looking” but that’s an idiotic acronym, and most people don’t interpret NSFL that way at first, and it still has the connotation that it can physically harm you for some reason.
synceDD@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No
Delphia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nsfw, Nsfl, and “Porn”
I like nsfw memes but dont want my feed full of porn. I have a seperate account for porn.
FrederikNJS@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yes, a renaissance artwork that contains naked women, actual hardcore porn, and a Russian soldier being blown to pieces in Ukraine, should not occupy the same “NSFW” tag…
Of course there’s going to be grey area stuff, but 3 buckets like this is much much better than a single “everything people might not want to see” bucket.
collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Butball the sfw porn subs ruined it.
Need a new tag like “sexporn” or “genitals”
AdmiralShat@programming.dev 1 year ago
I think sfw porn is still porn.
danc4498@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sounds like we’re just describing tags at this point.
TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 1 year ago
SeGz
CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 1 year ago
I feel like the lines at that point get way too blurred. It would be like having a “porn” and “full blown porn” tag or hardcore versus softcore.
I will admit a distinct NSFW tag could be good for somewhat taboo stuff like mildly offensive jokes for example.
ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Would be kind of hilarious. You can have one normal tag like “serious” is for ask lemmy, then a million tags like soft core, forced, NSFL, etc…
Like the fediverse would be catering to SO MUCH PORN at that point
tehmics@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What if we just had specific tags that we could filter for. everything gets the nsfw tag but we have specific tags for nudity, violence, etc.
ChadCMulligan@lemm.ee 3 months ago

fruitSnackSupreme@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How do you actually find porn on Lemmy? I’ve tried and failed.
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Apparently lemmynsfw.com.
But it’s mostly celebrity pics, so I’m not entirely sure where else.
TheBest@midwest.social 1 year ago
sort by new search term “nsfw”, subscribe and filter from there.
pascal@lemm.ee 1 year ago
NSFW is an American construct, in Europe people don’t get scared by nudity. If Lemmy is truly worldwide, we can get rid of it.
thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 1 year ago
In Europe you wouldn’t want a dick on your phone while you are in the office or on the subway
TheCee@programming.dev 1 year ago
This and also
By “porn”, I suppose you mean nudity?
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
At this point just have a tag system and let people vote on tags. It’s a great way to get to reddit-like niche content curation at smaller acale across many smaller instances.
