I'm not hating on this by the way, in fact I think it's kinda funny!

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Lemmy has hard coded censorship. It can be disabled via the code, but irrc not via config. It was a large source of criticism, even 3 years ago: https://linuxreviews.org/Lemmy
It is a server config option. Lemmy.ml uses a banned word list, while other instances don't. The words are still there and visible from instances that don't censor.
Fuck
Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.
Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.
It's not Lemmy, but you could join us over on kbin!
I tried a few days ago, but every kbin instance I went to requires an email to sign up. Maybe I'll try again with a throwaway email.

EDIT: These are email aliasing services. You create an alias and emails get redirected to your inbox. Your original email is still protected.
I've noticed that a few of my comments wouldn't actually post. The word for when you commit Sudoku (suicide) seems to be on the no-no list. I also wanted to comment about a weapon known by a two letter designation (AK) and that wasn't allowed either.
Edit: seems like it might be some instances only.
I need to test this
Fuck, shit, ass, bitch. Let's see which words get removed if any
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, turd, and twat
Edit: edited link to replace YouTube.
In case you want to know, your 5th word is "removed" when viewed from lemmy.ml
Cheers
And only the fifth word?
I find that hilarious for some reason.
Yup, only the fifth word.
That is very helpful, thank you.
What was the fifth word? The B-word?
[Word for male chicken that can also be used for male genitalia]-sucker
There should also be a link that points to a song where all these words are sung as lyrics to said song. Is that link also removed?
No, the link works fine.
Only that one: That's almost homophobic...
I see the list has been expanded since the original edition.
Looks good to me, from Lemmy.zip
None removed, your instance doesn't block naughty word. (At least not these)
Pretty sure that's not it. People are saying removed as a joke. It's a filter for slurs, not swears.
removed vs. b i t c h
It's not a joke. You can try it yourself.
Looks like I can say bitch just fine. Is it my instance? Or maybe because I'm on Liftoff and not Jerboa?
It may be your instance - your comment shows as "Looks like I can say removed just fine" to me. I may be switching to lemmy.ee it seems.
Edit: turns out my alt on sh.itjust.works can see them fine, so I'm migrating my account over there.
Lemmy is growing more irritating with shit like this.
Do me a favor and reply with the B-word. Maybe I can see it because it's my own post.
I really do think it's your instance, but here we go: removed
Yep, your comment shows up as removed for me. Thanks.
I think I've finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:
When I'm on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn't censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.
I'm pretty sure they removed the hardcoded filter as a result of the original discussion.
