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.
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?
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.
Zoomers gonna zoom
E: Apparently zoomers can’t take a joke. Get over yourselves nerds
The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.
Am I the only one who, like…never sees any porn in their feeds?
Is that too difficult?
Create two accounts, one with NSFW content turned off, and one with it on.
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…
You can also hide the NSFW content entirely, but some people are never happy.
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.
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)

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 😂
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?
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?)
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
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.
It’s one thing to be a communist; it’s another to be an apologist for the CCP.
Liberals try to understand political nuance challenge: Impossible!
Americans want socialism. This is spun as “communism” to distract and distort the argument.
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.
True.
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.
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.
On a slightly broader note: just people going out of their way to justify bad behavior.
Some days it’s hard to tell the difference…
As a communist who hates the CCP I see this as a win.
In our feeds, comrade.
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!
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.
I don’t get any porn… Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe you’re on lemmy.ml or one of the other instances defederated from lemmynsfw where most of it is from 🤷
They are on the same instance as you are (lemmy.world).
What ‘my friends’ have done is make an acct on lemmynsfw and one on ml, the apps allow you you to swap between accounts in 2 button presses. (Jeroba for me). So I have porn mode and doom scrolling mode.
NSFW content. That’s disgusting. Where? Where is this vile content?
