Blocking porn but not other NSFW content on All and other federated content in c/support

[–] Thorned_Rose 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

that’s far from an ideal way of doing it with new porn communities popping up daily

yeah, that's part of my problem. I have nothing against porn in and of itself, but as a sexual assault survivor, most porn can be triggering for me. :/

Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing that blurs NSFW? Or is that a server setting?

Apologies, I'm still learning the ins and outs of the fediverse and I have Cognitive Impairment which makes learning harder - is this one or bi-directional? I have a Lemmy.world account as well so does that mean if I'm on lemmy.world, I won't be able to see Beehaw content? Or the other way around where I'm here and I won't be able to see lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works content? Or both?

Blocking porn but not other NSFW content on All and other federated content (self.support)

I have signed up to two servers - Beehaw and Lemmy.world. So far this has not been an issue for me on Beehaw but I noticed in trying to switch servers and view more federated content on All, that porn sometimes comes up.

I'm still in the learning phase of using Lemmy and being YARR (Yet Another Reddit Refugee), I was browsing All to try and discover some communities to subscribe to. I never used All or Popular on Reddit because the sheer amount of post diarrhoea was really off putting. I liked to stick to only my subscribed subreddits as I could get a nicely curated feed of communities I am interested in. Welp, I was at a kids meeting, sitting on the sidelines, scrolling through All on Lemmy to discover some new communities when an porn image came up. Alarm bells go off in my head and I madly scroll back up so kids don't see what just came up on my phone 😬

Now, I could turn NSFW back off but then that will block other NSFW content that I do want to see (like 18+ stuff involving cannabis or alcohol or whatever else that isn't porn but still NSFW).

So how do I have NSFW enabled without seeing porn (that doesn't involve accidentally seeing porn and then blocking that community after the fact)? And is there any function yet to blur NSFW images?

Thanks folks!

If you can sate my curiosity, what dodgy subreddits?

Yikes, I had no idea Tencent is a Reddit investor. That's another big reason for me to steer clear of Reddit!

I've noticed this a lot about mainstream reporting - seems to give more voice to corporates than anyone else.

I've read a number of articles on the protest over the past few days and not a single of them really explained all the issues well.

This feels like a trap 😹

Subreddits you are going to miss? in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Me too. I never used All or Popular, just a heavily curated feed of funny and cute subs so I could chill in some spare time to get a laugh or go awwww. r/StartledCats r/CrabCats r/WhatsWrongWithYourCat/Dog r/IllegallySmolCats r/OneOrangeBraincell r/ScrungyCats r/TrashPandas.... I look forward to seeing them recreated in the Fediverse 😻
