All is inundated with porn. Until they allow instance blocking for users, it's incredibly hard to wade through to find new communities you're interested in. Turning off NSFW in your settings isn't a great solution because many of us still want to look at NSFW topics/discussions/memes.
To clarify, I don't have an issue with porn. I just don't want it on my front page. If I wanted to look at porn, there are plenty of sites dedicated to that already. I'm here for discussion, memes, and cool things.
Very true. As someone who likes the all feed as a decent way to find new communities and just generally see more content, it's been a lot of using the "Block Instance" button, and I have NSFW turned off, there's still an abundance of Lemmynsfw celeb type content. I won't even consider enabling NSFW until we get that functionality.
That's a good point. I hope it will change in the future though. On mastodon it also isn't like that I think
Is your instance defederated with lemmynsfw.com or something (I think there is one more instance for yiff stuff too, but they were smaller and easier to block)? That's where the bulk of the porn comes from. I try block individual communities when they pop up in my all. but the sheer volume is hard to keep up with.
You can just block the NSFW communities you don’t like. There really isn’t that many and much fewer that reach the top of all.
Lemmynsfw.com is where the bulk of them come from. I have probably 100 communities blocked from them and it has helped a little bit, but the sheer volume of communities popping up out of there is incredibly hard to keep up with. It only helps so much.
Ah yes, I just realised that my “all” feed is probably much different from yours, since there isn’t many users on my small instance, subscribing to hundreds of NSFW communities.
