I’m up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don’t see the point of. I’ve got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.
79 so far. If we could just block instances it would be so much better. OR if we had a distinction between NSFW porn and NSFW non porn. I just don’t want porn in all, but I want to be able to discover new communities. And I don’t want to block all NSFW because I enjoy some content that is marked as NSFW…I just don’t want porn.
I’m ok with the porn, I just want to avoid the furry shit. Titties? Sure. An anime fox fucking another anime fox? No thanks.

Yep, I got the same issue with blocking communities. It would be so much simpler to simply block pornlemmy and lemmynsfw than to block the myriad of communities that pop up
I don’t mind some of the porn. I can just scroll by it when I’m not interested in it.
I’m sure a user based block instance will show up in Lemmy at some point.
I don’t mind the porn either, but not on my main accounts on lemmy.ca and lemmy.world
There’s a whole yiff instance with various yiff communities. I think I may have finally gotten them all.
Until someone makes another yiff community on the instance lol
Why must I struggle so just not see humanoid animals fucking?
I never saw this problem coming as a child.
Exactly. Well put.
The connect app has the ability to block instances, which I find very helpful.
It’s a fantastic feature, but the app just does not work well for me
💀
I had problems in the past where Connect would not populate random certain communities in my subscriptions, making it unusable as an app.
But I just redownloaded it and it appears to work now so I may play with this a bit more!
Edit: Wait nope. Now it seems to randomly glitch out often and delete ALL of my subscriptions. Maybe even worse than before…
I want some stuff from lemmynsfw, just not furry or hentai. There is a yiff instance I wouldn’t mind blocking, but Liftoff doesn’t have instance blocking yet and that’s the app I prefer.
I’m already blocking one user after roughly one month here.
He was in so many comment sections posting the same gif of a woman shitting.
Allowing users to post gifs was a mistake.
Is this the troll in sh.itjust.works? Thankfully all their stuff has been taken down before I’ve seen it
I don’t remember the user . They’d just show up and respond to a top comment with that gif.
So glad you can block individual accounts.
Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with “Fuck xyz” because those communities are always toxic as hell.
My own philosophy is that if a community can only be described with negative values it will ultimately be a shitty community.
Anything that starts with anti- or fuck noun even if I agree with them is a instant block for me.
Dude I agree so much. Because I’ve fallen for the trap of thinking “oh yeah, I support being against that too, fuck it!”
But then slowly realize that even if I support being anti whatever, the community itself is just filled with negativity and hate. Justifiable or not, it’s always an emotional drag, so yeah, best to just cut it out of my life, I don’t need it.

i’ve been here for 15 minutes as a refugee from reddit. i immedialtely got the “fuck cars” (community?) in my feed. i did not like their dislike of cars.
Are you sure they weren’t lovers of cars/cussy?
I haven’t blocked anything yet. I just signed up and I’m having trouble finding anything. My timeline is just the same few things repeating. How are you all seeing stuff you haven’t subbed to?
Change your settings not to show read posts will probably help, too!
I’ll look around in settings and try to find that, thank you!
Change the sort from active to topSomething
A lot, mostly porn.
I’m not morally opposed to porn–but like 99.9% is aimed at straight men, or is the Disney-style furry art, and it does NOTHING for me. It’s like being drowned in, I dunno…football communities. It’s boring as shit and I Just. Don’t. Care.
Exactly. I have absolute nothing against porn…I just am not interested and don’t want it flooding and dominating my feed.
How are y’all seeing all this porn and furry stuff?
I don’t see any of it on my /all/ feed. There’s like, some girls and boobs and stuff occasionally, but it’s rare.
I wonder if it’s instance specific. I can see the porn communities but no posts show up in them for me on my lemmy.one account.
I know initially porn was blocked lemmy-wide and has only recently started rolling out.
Just memes and 196
I blocked 196 as well.
I swear the people posting to memes are all 12 years old. There’s only so many “when the teacher sees you playing on your DS” ‘memes’ I can take.
Thankfully I never see that crap, but will block on sight.
I have managed to block fuckcars 6 six times. Which is funny because every time I block it a new one pops up
We’ll get to you eventually, there’s no running away!
There’s plenty of running, but my car is faster.
Zero blocks of any sort currently. I mainly use my subscribed feed, and while I do check all periodically, I have pretty tough eyeballs.
None so far. At this point you might as well use the “Subscribed” tab. Whitelist instead of blacklisting communities.
I use subscribed most of the time, but enjoy local and all to see what else is out there. Just added !sciencefiction@lemmy.world today after finding it in all
I hope to get to that point soonish, but without a starting set of mostly interesting and inoffensive subs, building a collection of subscribed thingies is slow going. In the meantime, I’m scrolling all and blocking all the communities that seem mostly like a place to be angry.
you cannot whitelist anything if you don’t go to /all
None, I am open to all
the filthhumanity has to offer.So you like all the beans then?
I don’t block anything.
I view subscribed day-to-day, and browse through All when I want to find new communities to sub to.
There’s all kinds of shit in All that’s not for me, and that’s… how it’s supposed to be?
I do this but I block stuff I won’t have any interest in ever like programmer humor, furry this and that, weird porn. I know I won’t ever subscribe or find anything I want to see in some communities
I just blocked Politics.
I felt that politics posts and discussions on reddit led to a separation of communities and echo chamber when platforms like that an Lemmy would ideally, be politics free.
It leads to a more friendly positive and inclusive place to be.
I think it would be impossible to keep politics off Lemmy so best I can do for now is filter it out.
I’m tempted.
I’d say go for it. Political discussion on Lemmy is just inflammatory hot garbage, your sanity will thank you for staying away.
I don’t mind it in general, but partisan politics reeks of the bot-infested/bad-faith experience we used to get at the old place.
Ya, I tested the waters there and it’s filled with some truly rabid individuals. That was an easy block decision.
So many anime and meme communities…
All of the nsfw communities, please provide me a complete list so I don’t miss any of them.
