    Weird. I don’t see much of that at all, even on “All”. I guess it depends on what instance you join.

        Sorry for the late reply. It’s been a busy couple of weeks. I double-checked and it isn’t defederated. I think maybe no one had ever looked up content from the server before so it wasn’t showing up. It hadn’t federated yet. Now that I’ve pulled in posts with a search, I might have opened the floodgate. LOL.

      I haven’t seen any porn at all. (And I checked the NSFW checkbox.)

      I do see posts about how China is the greatest country on earth and how they will save the planet from global warming. Which is funny to me because they are the biggest contributors to climate change, global warming, pandemics, terrorism, suppression of free speech, murdering their own citizens with tanks, but I don’t seem to recall clicking that checkbox.

    I guess they haven’t discovered the button to block communities?

    My feed is quite nice after blocking the stuff that doesn’t appeal to me.

      Same. Block is a key feature. That said, I’m actually fascinated at how many furry communities there are. You’d think blocking c/furry would take care of 90% of the problem, but who knew c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair had such a dedicated following.

      I’d like to block entire servers myself. But I can’t find a way to block the whole nsfw one. Individual communities yes, but I’d like to not see the whole server.

          It would be nice if there was a directory that made it clear what server has defederated what.

          Fragmentation and the lack of continuity and good navigation is seriously going to be what kills any chance a federated Reddit alternative has at becoming even 25% as large as Reddit was.

            You can see what an instance has defederated by adding /instances to the URL of the instance. There’s no way to see it for more than one instance (at a time) as far as I know, so yeah, have to agree with you.

      The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.

      Some phone apps do not support that feature. Couldn’t find it in Memmy for Lemmy for example, so I bounced.

      You can of course always do it through the web interface.

        Memmy has it. Tap the community name and then the three dots in the top right. “Block community” will pop up as an option.

        I’ve been using it to block Anime/Manga/Hentai communities as fast as they make ‘em. It’s never-ending with that stuff.

    Reddit refuge here. I’m super sad to see people trying to turn lemmy into reddit, this is our chance to make it better. Stop filling the new feed with reddit archive bullshit.

    Secondly, I’m fine with the porn. I miss scrolling r/all and getting the surprise boob. Surprise boobs are the best.

    Although I will say the furry community on lemmy is fierce. I’ve blocked like 40 communities and I’m still getting dog dicks in my feed. How many different communities do you people need?

    It’s pretty rude to come into a new community and the first thing you do is complain. Not everyone is as obsessed with avoiding communist thoughts as much as US-Americans. Deal with it. As for NSFW: just switch it off.

    Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.

    Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I’d go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.

    There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It’s never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.

    It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist’s livestock.

      This has less to do with liking capitalism than it does with self-avowed communists on the internet being insufferable.

        Exactly. I legitimately long for an actual leftist space which isn’t just edgy anti-western brain rot. I want to actually discuss theory and praxis and statecraft with people who can actually acknowledge that obsessive Chinese autocracy should be condemned as harshly as western imperialism. Unfortunately, my experience on Lemmy has once again demonstrated that this is impossible.

            You know, a place where people don’t unironically talk about shooting social democrats who won’t swear fealty to Stalin. Or who can acknowledge that China’s nearly complete lack of public trials is alarming.

            I feel like these should be super low bars, yet…

    Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It’s ramping up that way.

    I think it’s great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It’s good Internetting.

      Reminds me of old school slashdot. A mix of techies, skeptics and libertarians. Luckily, the Demon Haunted World quotes stuck over the Ayn Rand junk. Last time I went on slashdot, it seems the libertarians took over. Never thought I’d see anti vaxxers there.

        I almost forgot about Slashdot! Gosh, that was decent back in the day. I remember unsubscribing from their email newsletter years ago, after I noticed a consistent trend in topics being unfavourable to my ethos.

    I think I could count the number of porn posts I’ve seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn’t mind more porn tbh.

        I browse by all and new a lot. It’s a good way to find interesting posts that get buried by the memes, but you also find a lot of NSFW stuff.
