lemmynsfw.com has a hard rule that all NSFW posts should be marked as NSFW. Report the post in question and instance admins or community moderators will deal with it. It shouldn't be a common issue.

Ok, I will. The issue is the rule is NOT strictly followed and those posts pop up in my feed regularly.
As far as I can tell mods are swift in dealing with reports. And even though the rule exists there will always be people that ignore those rules. There is no way to block whole instances at the moment and without the NSFW flag, there is no technical way to see that the post contains NSFW image.
In addition to reporting the post in question you could also block the user if you suspect that they are posting without the NSFW flag regularly.
This was the same way this was dealt with in Reddit. Just report it.
What app are you using? Some recent update broke NSFW tags for a lot of people.
Jerboa 0.0.40
The fact that I can't just block the entire instance is upsetting. I couldn't care less about people's butts.
+1, you should be able to block entire instances at the user-level like on Mastodon, we should not have to ask admins to block instances that bother a minority.
Definitely. I understand there are users who DO want that content, and they should be allowed to see it.
How long before a CP community pops up in our feeds though?
Any CP community would / should be defederated so fucking quick.
Technically I believe every communities created with the NSFW tag will auto-apply the NSFW tags on all posts. Maybe the user who posted submitted to a community that isn't tagged as such (some of them like /c/celebs@lemmynsfw.com) because the content is not always NSFW.
The only thing we can realistically do is to report these posts. It send a report to your instance admins, who can hide the post from being viewed at the instance you're at. It will also send a report to the mods of community at lemmynsfw.com in which the post was submitted who can take action on the post itself.
I think this is the issue - if the community itself isn't tagged, blocking NSFW on your account doesn't filter the posts (although they should be blurry if the posts themselves are tagged).
Fortunately, most of the untagged communities (inc. celebs) are modded by a user called Madness, so blocking him cleared up my feed.
This is more of a support question, please see the sidebar for suggestions on where to find support. Removing under rule #3.
Using the Memmy app and had the problem. I found what had worked for me was going into settings on the actual browser and not through the app actually turned off the nfsw communities for me. If you havenβt tried that already Iβd recommend giving it a shot.
Yep do this.
I donβt see nsfw
Report the post and optionally block the user.
Off-topic but awesome avatar.
Sounds like an issue with Jerboa more than with Lemmy tbh if you can't properly block a community. Log in to the website and block the community there.
Of course you can block communities in Jerboa. But not instances, as OP wrote. That just isn't a feature in Lemmy.
Blocking communities sucks because more and more pop up. I'd love to block the entire instance.
Connect has the ability to block instances.
It's the best app that I have tried so far to replace Relay for reddit.
There was a post recently about NSFW tags possibly not federating properly, and I wonder if that might be what you're running into.
In terms of a real, solid solution, I don't know what the best course of action is. But as a band-aid solution, you could try an app that allows for in-app server blocking. Lemmy itself doesn't allow users to block an entire server, but Connect at least (and probably others) allow it on the app side. But it wouldn't help on anything other than the app, so it's definitely not the ideal solution.
If a community is marked NSFW, then all posts made in that community should automatically be marked as NSFW. Maybe even forced, so it canβt be unmarked.
Sometimes people simply forget to mark it NSFW. This would solve it.
