Seriously though.
Because it’s full of Linux IT people aka furries and anime nerds?
This is the answer. It comes with the territory when you have a demographic that is nerdy and terminally online.
This demo has more pros than cons, but I do find myself using the “block community” option liberally.
It seems like there needs to be additional community tags based on subject matter so you can block that tag rather than having to individually block a million communities or having to block an entire instance which you may not want to do.
Couldn’t you also switch your feed to “subscribed”
Topic based tags could work, but there’s no way to enforce that community’s will tag things about themselves
You could just use subscribed but as Lemmy is fairly small, if you want new content with anything approaching regularity, searching by all or local is all but essential.
Everyone’s opinions differ for sure but even in fairly popular communities there aren’t that many posts a day, especially when compared to larger, other, less API friendly sites…
I’ve been a “Linux nerd” since Red Hat’s Halloween release back in the nineties. I attest that I am not, not have I ever been, a furry nor have I ever been that into anime. That said, I appreciate good Hentai. If done well, it can be an impressive mix of art and erotica. But it’s mostly big tiddy trans furry pegging or giant tiddy tentacle sex posted here. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Why ‘Linux / IT’ guys? Is that really the demographic or the perceived demographic? I would consider myself a Linux / IT guy, but I’m not ever seeing furry things in linux tutorials for example. Just surprised that was the ‘go to’ group you listed as the demographic.
It’s a running joke at this point.
Haha that’s pretty damn funny 😄
Its just a meme. Most Linux guys are just normal dudes.
Perceived vocal minority
Better question is what are you doing to see so much hentai. I have NSFW on, and regularly browse “all” and porn in general remains a very rare occurence.
It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I’ve noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It’s still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don’t click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.
or depending of your instance? Or you still can see post from unfederated instances, I don’t remember, but that wouldnt make much sense
My feed is sorted by “hot” by default, whatever that means. I see tons on all. New NSFW communities are created daily and posted to by bots and beggars. The hentai seems a lot rarer than the regular porn.
It’s a lot. I’m not into anime or hentai at all, so I am constantly blocking communities. It seems like just when I get my “home page” how I like it, 16 more new communities popped up lmao.
What the hell why am I not seeing this? Not that I want to, but I keep hearing this and I just don’t hardly ever see it.
Dear god man
Do you allow NSFW content by default? I’m no prude, but I had to turn it off just because there was so much hentai and related porn.
No I get some NSFW content but usually just light topless in jeans or whatever
- Make sure you are browsing all, not subscribed or local.
- It depends on the time of day. Certain things are more popular at certain times of day in different time zones.
I’m same as gingerlegs, but I do 1. Probably because of 2 though
I’m always browsing all-hot but do do through jerboa so maybe that’s why? I don’t need hentai but more porn would be nice.
Try all/new or all/top 6 hrs
I’m on Lemmy.world.
Piracy talk is a big no-no, but I do get to see the continuous creation of never-ending pornographic hentai & furry shit or whatever. The drawings look like sexualized cartoons made for children and the furry stuff just looks like people drawing out their sick sexual fantasies of animals. Totally normal for the communities that are into that stuff. Don’t kink shame!
My blocked community list is several pages long now. I really hate that I have to fucking VISIT a community before I can click something to block it. I wish I could tap-and-hold on a post and be able to block the community it was posted in or block their whole fucking disgusting server.
But I can’t.
Because that’s the beauty of Lemmy and federation.
I’m guessing lemm.ee admins take a stronger stance against sick shit.
Edit: a lot of the posts I see are from communities on the “yiffit.net” server. I have no idea how to block the entire thing. I’ll block one community from there and then posts from another will show up.
Edit2: just saw a “kurumi_nsfw” post that looked like a drawing of a naked little girl and an “animefeet” post a little below where I saw this thread, so it’s definitely showing up for people.
Connect and Sync apps you to filter entire instances.
My experience exactly. It’s absurd.
Hentai? I never saw those in my feed. Are you sure it’s not the NSFW communities you subscribed to?
because for whatever reason that is what YOU tend to see in YOUR feed; why that is so, I do not know, it is not in mine.
Can you tell me where you found it so I can stay away from those places?
There is no concept of personal “algorithmic” feed here unless he subscribed to a bunch of hentai communities. I agree that when browsing on Everything sorted by New, there is a LOT of hentai. That includes AI generated hentai that seems popular here, probably because it is a legal gray zone.
Just sorted All by Active and New. Still no hentai

What a ridiculous answer.
There is hentai on Lemmy?
You’re on Lemmy.ml They censor all porn
I don’t know why you get downvotes for this. This is completely correct. “no porn” is one of their instance rules.
But they don’t block instances that allow porn, so there’s NSFW content coming from them and I am fine with this. No hentai, though (at least not enough to qualify as “so much” to me …)
They might have defederated from the instance that the hentai is from. It’s lemmynsfw.com
Funny, they really did. I remember this particular instance not being defederated some time ago. The rules say “no porn” so it’s understandable, though.
I have no idea. I have NSFW stuff turned off. I’m not on lemmy for porn.
You’re really missing out on all the hentai and furry content! /s
I’m really broken up about that.
I have no idea, can you provide examples for my research?
I actually think I might have NSFW turned off because I’ve never seen a single NSFW post on Lemmy, hmm
It’s a user account setting
Look in my blocked communities list. It’s full of memes, sports teams, and anime/hentai…
I haven’t seen that much hentai, just regular porn. What communities have you been seeing with hentai? So I can uh stay away from them
Same here
Because a lot of people like hentai ¯_( ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)_/¯
You dropped this mate \
You need to use 2 of them as they are also escape characters.
Freedom, that’s why. If you don’t like it, block the communities. You have the tools to solve the problem.

It’s the intetnet. Nothing should be done about it.
where are those hentai subs( ask for a friend btw
deleted by creator
But where is the yaoi?
You must be browsing All. Stop that.
How else are we supposed to discover new stuff?
For real, browsing all is mostly great. I just block the shit I don’t wanna see ever again.
