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.
None. But I also never browse All. Never have, on any form of social media.
I use it as a way to discover new communities. Any recommendations on how you manage your subscription without looking at all from time to time?
I look them up at lemmyverse.net
I go there about once a week to see if there are new communities I might be interested in. I’m on a selfhosted single-user instance, so my “all” is identical to my “subscribed” and this is how I populate my feed.
I’m a little curious: If you unsubscribe from something, does it disappear from your All? Or is it enough that a user in an instance was at some point or another subscribed?
All is the collection of communities that anyone on your instance is subscribed to. I believe once everyone unsubscribes, new posts are not automatically retrieved.
This is correct.
If you unsubscribe it will sit there with 0 subscribers, no longer being updated.
You have to go in with an admin account and purge the community to remove it.

It’s tedious, but I found just looking at lists of communities to be more helpful. If something looks interesting, open it up, check it out, and subscribe. Browsing your subscribed communities is an infinitely better experience. Plus, if you’re willing to take the time blocking communities, I feel like that takes just as much time as scrolling through a list of ones for potential matches for your interests.
Will genuinely never understand people that treat home as their personal feed. WTF is subscribed for? 😵💫😮💨
How else will people find a reason to complain about, I CLICKED ALL, AND I SEE A BUNCH OF STUFF I DON’T WANT TO SEE. HOW TO I BAN THE STUFF I DON’T LIKE, INSTEAD OF using the subscribe feature, like a normal person.
Subscribed is for the communities that I want to actively engage with every or close to every post that shows up. All/Home are for browsing popular content that I don’t want in my sub feed (memes, news, other smaller communities, etc)
Why block them? I like a little spice with my scrolling. Plus it’s a fun mystery box to see what’s under the blur. Straight/gay? Cis/trans? That one guy that literally just posts 100 fully clothed celebs every hour to disappoint you? Who knows.

Tell me you don’t have an office job without saying you don’t have an office job.
Boss: “And here I see you’ve accessed something called ‘Lemmy’ 315 times today, what the hell is that?”
@ttmrichter: “Oh, no worries, I blocked all the porn.”
Hi. Friendly reminder to keep personal activity out of work devices.
Until we meet again!
My boss is on Lemmy too. I won’t exactly be surprising him with it.
That has always been allowed. As long as you don’t want others to censor nsfw, all is good. I like porn. I want more high quality porn on Lemmy. That takes time.
This isn’t about controlling what others see - I’d just like for users to be able to block entire instances, because blocking 3 more porn communities every time I reload All gets tiring.
I like porn when I’m in the mood for it. I’ve got an alt on lemmynsfw for that. Though I feel your point about high quality content: The specific stuff I’m interested in hasn’t had a new post in a month. The only thing I still use reddit for, really…
Yea they should have wildcard blocks. ‘*@lemmynsfw.com’
I would prefer regex blocking, as there are categories of communities that I am not interested in seeing regardless of which instance they are on. It is annoying to have to continually block them because someone setup a new instance and created the same community again.
I might actually submit a feature request for this. Maybe default to simple wildcard blocks with an “advanced” mode that enables regex matching.
Yes please!! I’ll review your PR. :)
Please do!!! It would be so helpful
I guess it’s my app but I can block entire instances or just a single community
Use a lemmynsfw login for porn and block nsfw on your main account.
I am still interested in non-pornographic NSFW content, so that’s too overkill for me.
I have never seen a non nsfw post that wasn’t porn on Lemmy.
I follow cannabis communities and they sometimes mark nsfw. Also, sometimes cat pics get marked nsfw for funny.
so your argument is that sometimes its funny to mis-tag posts? guess we should untag porn posts as a joke then.
They didn’t make that argument. They just pointed out that it DOES happen
They’re definitely rare but they do exist. It’s the principle anyways - because they’ll likely become a lot more common as the site grows.
Also I think you worded that backwards.
That doesn’t stop the porn from getting through.
None? I just stick to stuff I’m subscribed to so it’s not really an issue.
Same. I’m not going to judge anyone for scrolling All, but that’s definitely not a level of chaos I’ve ever wanted to deal with.
I just never turn on NSFW. It’s not what I came here to see.
0, zero, none, nada, niente…
PS: I like boobs
Admin for lemmynsfw here, and I just wanna say that we desperately need instance blocking for lemmy. Or at least some way for instances to be able to restrict NSFW content in /all. Some people do not want to see NSFW content or simply can’t, and that’s more than fine.
I really don’t get it. I use wefwef and don’t see any nsfw, like at all. You just simply uncheck it on your home instance. And just learned today wefwef also has a nsfw toggle which was off for me
Does your instance allow nsfw content?
I just have nsfw as a whole blocked. I have other ways to see porn if I want to and I want to use Lemmy in places where my daughter or my boss won’t walk by and think I’m looking at porn.
If that’s your thing, go for it, but it is too much of a risk for me with little reward.
Married people watch porn?
Of course I watch porn. Do you think my wife has to drop her panties on command? There are times I’m feeling the need but she isn’t in the mood. Or isn’t around.
I was just surprised because jerking off to other women having sex while committed to one seems wrong. I didnt consider you two might have agreed on it. But I don’t agree its either porn or not having sex if your partner isnt around. You can just jerk off without.
Why is it wrong? You’re not cheating. It’s just fantasy. I haven’t stopped noticing other women who I think are really attractive either. I just don’t try to fuck them. Doesn’t mean I can’t imagine what it might be like.
Coincidentally, tomorrow will be our 23rd anniversary. You don’t stay married 23 years and never fantasize about what it might be like if your life had been different and you had been with a different woman.
It’s wrong because most of the time that isn’t something your SO will be ok with. If your wife is ok with it, thats that.
It is unreasonable to not be okay with fantasizing.
You’ve had some weird, prudish SO’s then, thats perfectly normal and if a woman i was dating was that controlling, I would be out the door.
I’m surprised you see it as prudish not wanting your SO lusting for and jerking off to other women having sex. Why not attend strip clubs too. Watching some women dance is tamer than watching them have sex.
When you grow up you realize the world isn’t quite so black and white.
I’m not sure how much more nuance there can be than ‘most people arent ok with it, but I get it if you and your wife are’
So much yiff stuff blocked. Being unable to block the entire instance is annoying.
Same with language specific instances I can’t understand.
Connect app lets you block instances
Which I’ve used to block languages I don’t speak from being on my all feed
Thank you! Jebora was definitely missing that feature.
We need an option to block pornographic communities, but still see non-porn NSFW content. Blocking all NSFW is too broad and will block other content.
I agree. But I’d also like the opposite. The ability to block all nonporn nsfw posts.
Seems like an “easy” solution is to add more granular nsfw tags. I never want to see blood and gore, but I don’t mind porn.
Absolutely. There needs to ideally be content warnings, or at the very least a distinction between NSFW and pornographic content.
Oddly enough, none. Kind of like seeing the sheer variety the Internet had to offer (plus those folks have so much confidence it’s almost admirable). And at least it’s not gore-- I’ve seen accidently seen way too many dead bodies mindlessly unblurring pictures on Reddit or foolishly clicking troll links.
Probably going to change to block nsfw when my little ones are old enough to steal my phone and browse my account, though.
I haven’t seen anything from lemmynsfw, so - zero. Though I don’t spend a lot of time beyond my subscriptions and local feed.
I think lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmynsfw
Oh no! Anyway, I created a separate account there, because I don’t want porn in my regular feed.
Almost none. I browse all almost exclusively and have nsfw enabled, but none of the communities really bother me enough to block them. I just scroll past the stuff that I don’t have any interest in, same as sfw content.
None. Even when I’m viewing all I don’t seem to see any.
