I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

    It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it’s much more diverse.

    Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it’s on the roadmap.

        I’m using Liftoff and although I’ve got NSFW filter enabled I’m still seeing porn, lots of it.

            i have to block the same NSFW communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

            lucky that the blocking navigation is quite simple on liftoff.

              Interesting. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining but never seen any of it. I have NSFW filters off on the site and on Memmy. Kind of thankful I don’t have to go through any of the blocking

      I actually hasn’t see any porn when from the browser… Only when I decided to download an mobile app I got flooded by a lot of NSFW… I wonder why… Maybe the lemmy.world itself doesn’t have much porn, but what is “hot” and “active” in other instances it is? That explains why going directly in to https://lemmy.world/ they doesn’t show up.

        I think NSFW content is fully hidden by default, but then it depends on your app/account config.

        I don’t want to fully block it because some NSFW is not porn and is worth seeing.

        You might have disabled NSFW. But I don’t want to fully disable it as there are some NSFW posts that may not be porn which may be worth seeing.

          How do you disable it? I have tried on in the settings but doesn’t seem to work. It just blurs it.

      Do you normally browse all? I just browse subscribed - and this isn’t a problem for me. “All” is a measure of what’s popular, and porn is popular.
