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.
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.
Then block them?
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’s odd, maybe your instance fixed it. I have accounts on two Lemmy instances. I just logged myself into those instances and they both ignored the fact that I have it set to Subscribed. Not to All.
Not everyone is lucky enough to have their All be memes, and even still some memes I just don’t feel like seeing, or whose point are “lol thing bad.” Even if I agree with you that Thing is Bad I don’t want to see it.
I understand. I hear it's an issue on Kbin and it might be fixed on the newest versions of lemmy. But that's just how "All" is, you'll see everything whether you like it or not.
The problem is users like me who set to Subscribed and end up seeing All without ever choosing to navigate there. I fully understand that if I choose to look at All I can get blasted with anything, including things I don’t like. My entire problem is that I didn’t choose this. I opted out of it and am forced to see it anyways, which is how I became aware that not everyone is lucky enough to just have memes.

I personally want to keep my subscribed list small and manageable. I only subscribe to communities that I actively want to interact with the majority of the posts made. I actively avoid subbing to large communities because it makes interacting with the small ones nearly impossible.
The majority of my browsing comes from local or all.
I prefer to do this as well. So all would be obviously whatever the rest of the instance is subscribed to and should include large communities, then I would look at my subscriptions to see the smaller or more niche stuff.
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
Username does not check out
This is clearly a troll post
Just block it? Do you really browse c/all without filtering out unwanted communities?
Make an account on lemmy.blahaj.zone
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.
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.
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 use this usercript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances

Jerboa has an option you can select to not view NSFW content. It's in the profile settings.
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.
