There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.

EDIT: I personally don't care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don't know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.

I agree with OP, seeing lots of pics on the front page, something does need to be done, if not, I foresee restrictions on the horizon

Feel like lemmynsfw should be an opt-in - like I have no problem seeing some “NSFW” content in my feed, by the standards a lot of people impose that like… on Reddit, cigars and drugs and other things that don’t offend me at all are marked NSFW so by default I want to allow some NSFW content… I just don’t want to see porn, I go to pornhub for that. Last thing I want is a constant stream of people advertising their onlyfans accounts.
