Can't you stop it by unchecking the "Show NSFW content" option in Settings?

Not all NSFW content is porn.
My biggest disappointment with Lemmy is that they didn't fix the glaring problem of NSFW vs NSFL, or more tags.
NSFW, NSFL and Porn are the three categories that would be most useful to configure independently. While there are always gray areas and situations where either/or might apply, I think there are generally pretty clean dividing lines between those three that will cover almost all content.
That's the issue I have with blocking NSFW too. I don't want to see porn, but there is NSFW stuff I do want to see. You're forced to throw the blanket over everything, regardless of what it is.
Then it hides non-porn content too, which i might want?
I hit that when signing up, and I haven't seen a damn thing. It's a checkbox.
At the very least you can blur NSFW images in the settings
There's literally several preventative measures you can take to never see nsfw content again. This is not one of them.
These people just want to make noise and get people riled up about porn on Lemmy, their problems are entirely unserious or they would have checked the box everyone sees when they make an account.
It seems like there is an effort to get NSFWLemmy shut down or at least so defederated that it may as well be it's own separate part of the fediverse.
Why not subscribe to the stuff you want to see and then only filter by subscribed? I honestly find it strange that people don't do this by default.
Or local as well. Your instance could have more on it than you are subscribed to.
This is exactly what I do! Unfortunately, when I first log into Lemmy or Kbin, despite me having my settings set to show me only subscribed stuff by default, it totally ignores that setting (and what communities I’ve blocked) and just shows me the equivalent of /all on kbin or on that Lemmy server. You can get back to only seeing subscribed things by refreshing, but at that point the damage has been done, the NSFW has already popped up on your screen and you have to refresh to take it away. Seems just in the realm of “annoying” except for the fact that some people also have their defaults set to subscribed in an effort to avoid ragebait or triggering content.
There’s a codeberg issue for this on kbin already, so just have to wait for it to be addressed. Not sure if Lemmy has an equivalent issue on their GitHub (or whatever they use) yet.
I do not have the same problem as OP. Probably because when I made my accounts, if there was an option to disable NSFW (or not enable NSFW) I made sure to have NSFW disabled/not enabled.
This doesn't seem to happen on lemmy. And even if it did, my "All" filter is all memes.

That sounds like a problem with the browser your using. Try clearing cache, going back to default settings. See if it happens in a private window, or different browser altogether.

Then block them?
ALL is not your feed and shouldn't be treated as such. SUBSCRIBED is your feed one and only feed.

Gee it's almost like people don't bother to explore their settings when they use a new site or app
Just block it? Do you really browse c/all without filtering out unwanted communities?
Username does not check out
This is clearly a troll post
Make an account on lemmy.blahaj.zone
Username checks ou.. username does not check out. On a more serious note, Connect for Lemmy has the option to block instances at an account level.
Switch to Kbin. You can already block by domain on there.
kbin has different problems. There is a "random" magazine that is just a collection of random posts, and it is featured on the sidebar with no option to turn it off. It sometimes randomly features porn.
Don't get me wrong, I want to like kbin, but I get an error on login every single time and have to clear my browser history so I don't really bother with it.

I use Memmy and have a porn account and a non-porn account. On the non-porn account, I block any porn communities that show up in the All feed and eventually I stop seeing them.
Really? I've blocked so many, but more keep getting created. It's like chopping heads off a hydra.
It's pretty impressive how oddly specific they can get.
There are plenty of Lemmy instances that blocked those porn instances. Just join one of them.
Good advice. GitHub has a list of instances with columns showing instance details including whether it allows NSFW content.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I'm using Connect for Android and I just tap the options for the post and I can block the user, community, or instance. Lemmynsfw was the first one I blocked and I haven't seen anything since.
Also, apropos of nothing else,when you block a user, you still get an option to see their comments (it'll come up as this user was blocked) but then you click thru to see it.
There is not yet an option to block instances in the web frontend. Neither does Jerboa
I'm just going to say... "All" isn't your feed. It is everything people on your instance have subscribed to. So, what you are saying is that the other people on the instance are subscribed to too much NSFW content. I'm not sure that individuals should get to police that.
"Subscribed" is your feed. Include or exclude whatever content you wish. You can blur NSFW if you want to browse all without seeing anything you don't like.
I use this usercript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances

Have you tried browsing by "Subscribed" instead of "all"? It'll only show content from communities you're subscribed to, like the old Reddit frontpage
I do all, show nsfw on a Lemmy.world account and get zero porn.
I generally do top 12 hours or I get days old stuff. That could be it? Or maybe he's just scrolling a lot farther than I am.
I have trouble getting any to show up. And if I go to lemmynsfw specifically, I can't find any nsfw content. All that shows up is sfw pictures of beautiful women.
NSFW content has an enable/disable toggle check box in the settings. Sounds like you've got it turned off.
I have it selected to show it. If I go to my subscribed lemmynsfw instances they show up. It's whatever. Not like I'm gonna be using it as much as I did reddit anyways.
