I just reached 112 myself.

I'm very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don't want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.

You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.

I never get these, is it because I don't browse all?

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yup, that's why - if you're on Subscribed you'll only ever see posts from communities you subscribed to. Or even if you're on local, you won't see any content from other instances like lemmynsfw.com.

Could you please share your complete list so I too can block these disgusting NSFW instances?

Way too many. I'd like to see occasional non-sexual NSFW content in my All feed, hence not turning on NSFW filtering, but lemmynsfw is too prolific in my All feed.

[–] shirro@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

My home lemmy instance doesn't federate with NSFW instances to reduce legal risks which I totally support for their protection. In addition to the things which are outright illegal just about everywhere there is content that may or may not be legal in some places and an individual running a small instance doesn't have the legal funds or the protection from liability enjoyed by huge corporations. It is nice not having to worry about it when using the app in public or around family.

I've been working on all the 'yiff' shit myself. Just the word, I fucking hate it, and seeing the art is even worse.

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I've seen a lot of people complaining about that too, but it hasn't really showed up on my All page: Only one of my blocked communities has "yiff" anywhere in its name

None. I just don't browse All.

I have 238 blocked communities. ~3/4 porn, 1/4 sports, gaming, and non-English. I don't really want to block the instance as i kind of like to see the community titles. It's like a weird name competition. Winners are currently hentaibdsm and dangleandjiggle.

I have NSFW posts disabled anyway

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Probably a similar amount, it’ll just take time I guess before all the stuff I want to see is getting posted enough. I have a separate acct specifically for lemmynsfw, on this acct I actually don’t see any nsfw stuff. The problem is that my Subscribed list feels too barren, there’s not enough stuff getting posted or maybe I haven’t found all the communities I might be interested in. So I sort by All, which has quite a bit of stuff I’m not interested in at all, so I block that stuff. Eventually I’m assuming the two lines will cross paths and I can just switch over to my Subscribed list full-time. Until then I’ll just have to fight through waves of concerning porn until I can find my totally vanilla deviancies.

Mostly furry porn.

[–] dan@sffa.community 4 points 1 year ago

You know they are under click wall, yeah?

[–] SRo@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago
[–] FluffyPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

None, like the porn posts need to be clicked on to show the picture so it's not really an issue and even if it was visible by default I wouldn't mind, it's just porn. I would block gore but I haven't come across that yet.

[–] ramplay@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I've only blocked all the trans ones that pop up cause I just am not interested in that frankly.

Other than that, I scroll past the odd post but they're blurred so it's really not an issue to me. I can click it if I want and I'm not in a place I shouldn't be

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

No idea, since it seems Jerboa doesn't show the list anywhere, but it's probably a couple dozen, all non-English communitues.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've found it much more effective to ban the spam posters / bot posters in general, instead of communities. That catches the worst of it and mostly eliminates all of the cross posting.

What are you browsing with? Connect on Android has an option to block instances.

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The regular browser site, on Desktop.

[–] Hazzard@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah man, same boat. I actually do have NSFW disabled, but I've still blocked at least a dozen or two lemmynsfw communities for actresses, celebs, gentlemenboners, ladyboners, ladyladyboners, just a metric ton of SFW porn communities.

Would make things so much easier if I could outright block the instance, and heck, maybe I'd even turn on NSFW in that case.

[–] loom_in_essence@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I blocked the whole instance. I'll admit that I do want to see nude females (who are obviously adults) but I was seeing lots of other stuff that I don't find sexy, and blocking specific communities was like playing whack-a-mole.

I'm blocking some bots and a bunch of porn. I didn't block porn on Reddit, just scrolled past the few posts but with less content there is more porn in my way. I'm not worried about it being there in general I guess.

[–] Owljfien@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I never noticed any because Aussie.zone isn't federated with it, took me a while to realise this, just thought there wasn't any porn here yet

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The first few days I blocked them when I saw them. Now I never see them. So simple. Guess maybe 40-60 of them. Two clicks on the app I use.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't really block unless it just becomes overwhelming on the TL with spam or weird comments; but my instance isn't federated anymore, anyway (though I'm not entirely sure how the whole concept works because I can still see the two I'm subscribed to fine - maybe it just won't actively show up on the timeline but you can still enter the community by typing it in??)

Dont know but most of them are either unknown languages, politics circlejerking and virtuesignaling, or porn

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

My instance just defederated them all together.

[–] Pretzelise@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

none!

...cause aussie.zone blocks NSFW completely hehe
