How is a fediverse user supposed to find communities? I can’t find a way to search across the fediverse, which pretty much kills the concept IMO. I was browsing All via Lemmy.world - Mlem - iOS and my feed is half anime porn, with some pictures depicting underage and others not blurred as NSFW.
Am I going about the fediverse all wrong? How do y’all deal with this? Right now the fediverse seems like a glitchy, overcomplicated 4chan.
You could disable NSFW in your profile or use a service like lemmyverse.net to find communities to subscribe to.
Is nsfw specifically for porn or is it like Reddit where it was used for anything anyone might find offensive or inappropriate anywhere? I hesitate to block all nsfw content on the fediverse for fear of missing legitimate content.
From what I’ve seen NSFW tags are implemented similarly to reddit, however from browsing all and not having NSFW blocked the majority of the posts are porn/nudity.
I’ve been blocking NSFW communities that I don’t want to see while browsing all which has been working fairly well.
I like how the app Jerboa can handle NSFW, I have it set to show the post, but blur the image, which makes it easier to decide if it is something I want to look at or not.
It would be nice if we could have a tag specifically for nudity and/or porn.
There were a few times on r/stablediffusion where I clicked on something nsfw expecting nudity or something, and was instead greeted by extremely gory eldritch abominations.
Having separate tags for boobs vs nsfl would indeed be nice
Like a subcategory for NSFW - nudity, extreme violence, porn, death (aka NSFL), etc.
Preferable all of the above. It’s not because I’m looking at anime boobs that I want to find myself looking at something like goro (if you don’t know what that is already, you probably won’t want to look it up).
So… my curiosity got the best of me and I googled “goro” and it pulled up Mortal Kombat and I feel like I might have dodge a bullet thanks to the recent game release and opted to not dig any further. Also, anyone remember the heyday of r/spacedicks?
I guess my instance doesn’t federate because browsing all I don’t see anything nsfw. NSFW is on though.
I totally don’t have that problem on kbin. I can also just view my subbed “Magazines”.
Do you use an app to browse kbin on ios? I couldn’t get wefwef to take my Kbin account.
On iOS, you can just use Safari, and “add kbin to home screen.” This creates a shortcut to kbin on your home screen, but it also allows you to use kbin like an app. The website has an amazing UI through safari that feels like a native app you purchased in the App Store. I’ll attach a screenshot to this comment for you to see.
Thank you — this is what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I still think there’s a need for an app… this browser stuff is glitchy. It logs me out automatically, I can’t add multiple accounts, my keyboard loads all funky sometimes, and media needs to be manually expanded.
Personally I just use the search function at the top of the website or in Memmy to look for keywords and hope for a match.
Also as others have said you can block NSFW stuff which should help.
I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy for a few days now and it helped me a lot with finding instances I wanted to follow.
@Doxix Honestly just moving to a different instance instead of lemmy.world should do it; many of them do not federate with NSFW instances or if they do they federate with a limited selection of them. I haven’t checked in awhile, but when I was looking for what Kbin/Lemmy instance to join lemmy.world federates with everything except for two instances, which is asking for trouble.
Being able to block entire instances is a feature that I’m surprised isn’t in the works. It would be simpler to block 2 instances than to block a hundred communities.
It is on kbin. Go to kbin.social/d/[instanceaddress], then in the righthand column is a block symbol, exactly like blocking a magazine or a user
My current fix is just subscribing to a lot of communities and using all less. The other option is to uncheck nsfw but that of course blocks non nudity stuff too.
I do the same. Back on Reddit I always used r/all, but here that just doesn’t look to be viable at the moment.
I mean you weren’t using unfiltered all were you? You at least blocked the shit that bothered you the most?
Yeah of course, but with how messed up the filter options are on lemmy right now all sorts of stuff show up. At least with r/all it had to be popular.

You could try finding an instance that isn’t porn-friendly. The one I’m currently using (https://dmv.social) asks users not to subscribe to any NSFW communities, which prevents those communities from showing up in my All feed.
My block list for anime/nsfw is getting ridiculous
Someone should create a masterlist of nsfw communities and create anotherscript that blocks them lul
Being able to block instances as a user (not defed but just hide all their communities) would be helpful
Theres a few specific ones I am constantly blocking communities from (nsfw/porn, anime, furry, sports)
Yeah :) I am already on a simple script to mass block communities ;)
Update: https://github.com/Pdzly/lemmy-block-script
Its a bit techy, but somewhat straightforward. Simply put in the communities names and you have to get your jwt_token from a request you made to lemmy ;)
Added a nsfw community list to it. and i am open if you have a list of nsfw or bad communities
