Y'all some perverts

274 comments

i havent seen a single porn so far on lemmy. i think my instance blocks it.
- My lemmy is full of cats. So many cats
  
  mine is just full of memes which I can't find any other active communities tbh
  
  I need more cats. I don’t have the right ratio yet
  
  I don't mind either kind of cat, but I prefer cats.
  
  Where can I find these cats... I am missing my daily feline pics to brighten my day. 🥺
- Yeah. And also
  nice
  
  What Lemmy client you on?
- And here I am thinking I haven't seen nearly enough porn on lemmy.
- You have "block all NSFW content" enabled in your account, the problem is that the setting block any content NSFW and lots of them aren't porn at all, just sensitive content. This is why many are asking for a proper PORN tag to block exclusively that. Until then the best we can do either to block all or block one community at the time.
- a single porn
  😁
- You’re lucky. I’ve had to block so many yiff communities. I don’t mind the odd ass, boob, or even dick in my feed, but come on…
- Moi sopulitoveri!
  Yes. It does, mostly. It's kinda nice.
- Same actually

- My thoughts, too...

I guess I'm doing it wrong then, all I see are days old posts about how this place isn't reddit and how people are délétion their reddit posts, and how life without reddit is si much more betterer. REDDIT! Where are the tits?
- Sort by Hot
  
  Gadzooks! Titties everywhere! And more! HUZZAH!

Mine is full of memes
- I had to cut down on meme-communities because the traffic is just so much higher than anywhere else.

All I've been getting are a ton of old memes

You can change the settings of your account to not show NSFW and porn is filtered out 🙂
- This is why we need a different tag for porn and nsfw.
  
  That would be so good
- How about hardcore mode, where you block all non-NSFW content?
  
  Sign me up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  
  Sign up at lemmynsfw.com and sort by local
  
  Genius, I’m with ya.
- Or block the lemmynsfw instance in your main account, that works too.
  
  How do you block a whole instance? I was under the impression this was a feature that's still missing as of right now.
- I've done that and still seen porn. I'm blocking it now to stop it completely.

I have seen so much more porn on a single night of reddit than I have the entire time I've been on lemmy. I feel this is just a weird psyop to scare people away from the "degenerate leftist place!"
- Replied to the wrong comment 😭
- Really? I've been blocking porn communities constantly since my app had the option a few days ago.
  I've blocked at least 7 in just the last 12 hours.
  I'm surprised you haven't came across all the ai generated porn subs while browsing /all/
  I just checked my filters and I've blocked 50 porn communities within the last 5 days.
  
  Bro, what app are you using? I tried jebora and now using connect and I still can't seem to find any porn
  
  Yeah NSFW should be banned from showing up on the all tab.

I have seen none. Zero.
- It depends which instances you federate with
  
  I guess Lemmy.world with adult content toggle off is a good option
- Right! Nothing.

Am I at the wrong Lemmy?
- I know right? I’ve barely come across any porn
  
  Not sure if it's a Liftoff thing but even with a Lemmynsfw account on the Lemmynsfw instance I can't see any nfsw posts. Need to use the PC for that.

I can't understand how people are getting this experience. Are they browsing Local @ xxxlemmynsfw.porn or what?
Sure its a pic or two but not everywhere by a long stretch
- If you browse all and hot, in the evenings, you will get a lot of it.
  
  When I browse hot I get posts from months ago with two upvotes and one comment. It's more of an ice cold sort for me.
- Rather oddly specific
- There's a shit ton of porn subs that pop up throughout the days. Ive blocked 50 so far in under a week. That's all just from them popping up on /all/ + top 6 hours and me blocking as I see on my feed.
  I'm actually confused at all the people who haven't seen the porn lmao. There is always at least one post at the top of my feed when I get on.

I don't see any?

I'll be honest, you have to go out looking for porn to find it on Lemmy.
- I personally keep seeing it in All and it's annoying. I don't want to turn off NSFW because I want to see other non-porn NSFW content
  
  Have you tried blocking those NSFW communities?
- What? No. I get a lot of random porn just browsing all
  
  I checked on the All feed, both under New and Active. It took me several pages of browsing to find a single pornographic submission, and to be honest all you really have to do is go into settings and either disable NSFW content or block communities which post porn. Only like... two or three NSFW communities on LemmyNSFW are really hitting the All feed.
- No you don't. It was in All. Like every other top post.
  
  All depends very much on the instance you are in. Depending on who the people in your instance subscribe to, is what is shown in all. I didnt have much porn between .ca or reddthat yesterday. It also depends on how you sort in that instance.

Weird. I have the exact opposite experience. Not for lack of trying mind you; it's the last thing that makes me open reddit.

I had to go out of my way to find porn on Lemmy. How the hell are so many of you just having it appear like magic?
- I guess op is the pervert
- Same. WTF. I miss my beautiful curated Reddit porn collection so much.

And communists, so many communists
- Sexy porn communists.
- Inevitable, really, the federated, non corporate nature is very appealing to us
- You and the OP inspired this post
- The only community I blocked so far.

that's disgusting! where??

what are these awful, awful communities I should be staying away from
- looks over shoulder whispers _{lemmynsfw.com}

I actually haven't seen any. Although I don't doubt that it's out there.

Where the fuck is porn? I am searching for it but can't find it. Can someone please help
- Make an account on the porn specific ones and you'll find it.
  
  What happened to fediverse where one instance can talk to another ?

I dunno what instance you're on, but I have allowed NSFW on lemmy.world and rarely have I seen porn. Thankfully a lot of it is over at lemmynsfw.com instead so I can see stuff labeled NSFW here without being flooded with porn. Unless .world defederated from lemmysnfw at some point. I haven't paid attention to much meta news and who has defederated from who.
- They're from lemmy.world. It'll tell you if you go to their profile.

Reminds me of the old Reddit times when you had some random nudes here and there while browsing through the “all“ sub / timeline.
I don’t think that’s a problem and should not happen when you tailor your subscribed communities accordingly or choose to blur / filter NSFW.

Where is the NSFW switch? I have seen none porn here yet
- Yeah same here.

the internet runs on porn
- It's what it's for!
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/LTJvdGcb7Fs
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
  
  i don’t remember that episode of sesame street

where? I joined about a month ago with "Show NSFW content" checked and I haven't run into a single porn post unless I actively look for it
- Nvm

Yea, perverts! Nobody likes porn on the internet! Weirdos.
- I don't think the majority of normal adults have seen a single porn, or even heard of sex.
  
  Those are bizarre words that, as an adult human, I barely recognize and could hardly pronounce.
- Yeah what sick people would sit half naked in that office chair looking at the screen, one hand on the mouse, listening intensively that no one in the house is nearby, searching for the filth that would make the moment complete. Sick sick people, tell me where to find it

As far as I can tell there isn't actually that much? The only instance that really hosts it front and center is lemmyNSFW, and thats pretty small compared to most other spots

Weirdly enough, I've seen basically no porn at all. Guess Kbin is pretty good at filtering it out
- Might have something to do with the way kbin ranks posts. Top posts are mostly ranked according to boosts rather than upvotes (favourites). I'd guess people are less likely to boost porn since a boost theoretically 'retweets' the post. Actually I'm also not sure if you can boost from Lemmy?
- The main NSFW instance has the NSFW content gated behind accounts. You can see all the SFW content from anywhere, but you need to be logged in there to see the porn.
- I get porn when browsing new or hot on all.
  Mostly gay and furry porn, but it's still porn. Block almost all of it as that's not why I'm here.

Maybe I haven't been hanging around Lemmy that long, but I haven't seen any NSFW stuff yet. Might be tempting fate, and considering I am looking at Lemmy at work.

Weird, because I haven't seen anything like that afaik.

I saw a few nasty pics of a woman defaecating that were just slipped into random trending posts a couple of days ago, but it seems to have calmed down now. No idea how that kind of thing is going to be prevented in the future, but hopefully there will be something.
One thing that annoyed me a bit was that Lemmy Connect was not blurring the images, even though they had been heavily downvoted and I had blur NSFW enabled. I guess it only blurs things tagged, not things that have been downvoted, and it might be worth adding the option to blur images on -n downvotes as an option to enable users to crowd source censor images.

I think it's memes. Memes all the way down.

What? Where?
- Enable "show nsfw pages"
  
  Oh my god, that's disgusting! Which communities exactly? I need to block them right now.
- Lemmynsfw .com is the server I've blocked the most communities from.
  Everything is just porn there lol.
  
  That is kinda the point of the nsfw part

Porn is always the trailblazer. Without the demand for porn we wouldn't have had VHS (and hence the whole concept of video on demand in your home), or instant credit card payment gateways.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: an unhealthy amount of porn = a healthy community.
- That’s not really true though. We got home video because it allowed us to watch films at home. There’s an argument that VHS won over Betamax because Sony didn’t allow porn titles on Betamax. Even if that’s true, it was only an advantage for VHS because there was no other easy way to get that content.
  Now there is no problem with accessing porn on the internet. In fact the differentiator for many service providers is how to successfully protect households and schools from porn. If Lemmy becomes known as “the porn network”, little Johnny is going to find that loophole closed in short order.

where? lol, I haven't really seen any porn beside someone spamming a scat gif in the comments, but other than that it has been pretty family friendly.
- In All. Yesterday that majority of All was NSFW.
  
  What instance are you connected to ? I've been browsing "all" since a week before reddit died and I've seen maybe one porn post in there the whole time ? I'm viewing via lemmy.nz if it helps ?

I have nsfw and I haven't seen any. Is this satire? Oh I'm using WefWef fyi
- yeah, also haven't seen much using connect. there was one a few days ago I think

That's disgusting, where?

Don't lie you like it

Dude just make a different account that's for porn only.

I literally spent my Friday night blocking Yiff communities.
That shit is like fucking hepes on here.

Bro enabled show nsfw

Pretty sure my instance also blocks porn. Can't say I mind it, really, because I can just create an account on a porn instance.
Allows me to keep NSFW posts on, but not have to worry about pulling up a pic of a gaped ass in public. Plus if I was interested in following porn communities, I'd probably create a second account anyway. And then I wouldn't even have to wade through all of the regular stuff, I could just sign up for a porn instance. Win-win.
- The plausible deniability is nice. Many places can see what domain you go to, but that's the only thing they can see.
  I can't say I mind it either way. I don't mind that our instance blocks porn, but I'm glad there are some instances that don't.

I don't know how the hell some of these peeps in the comments are somehow avoiding it, but I've had to block probably a dozen or more communities before I could just enjoy Lemmy normally.
- Same, I ended up taking the recommendation of another user and making an account on sopuli.xyz because they’ve blocked lemmynsfw and some other porn instances. Best decision I’ve made regarding Lemmy thus far. I probably won’t be going back to my lemmy.world or beehaw accounts any time soon unless something happens to sopuli.

Seems to me that everyone with this opinion lives on Lemmy.world and peeps in other instances or on Kbin see something different, not sure why that happens

Bruh, I bet I have blocked over 100 communities. So much porn. Y'all need a bf/gf. Go out and meet someone and give your meat a rest. Lol
- There is a show nsfw setting.
  
  NSFW tags are still used for spoilers here. I’d be cutting out major parts of subs I want to see by disabling NSFW content.
  I’m also having the same problems as OP. I can’t reliably browse local or all at work because some uncensored hardcore porn is fairly likely to show up
  
  Yea it’s not difficult to remove it from your feed lol.
- You can also block an instance altogether(lemmynsfw or something)
  
  I've done this. It helped a bit. Still getting the odd community. It's not a major deal...just saying there's a lot. lol

You could join an instance that blacklists lemmynsfw

I've seen zero. I wonder what step you took such that your feed is full of porn.
- Do you have NSFW posts hidden?
  I see them daily and blocked 50 communities when the last week. I don't search for it. It's just there on /all/ every day.
  
  I just checked my settings and apparently Show NSFW Content is already checked.

Been using Lemmy for a month and I haven't seen a single porn.

God damn it, I never see any porn!

I'm on a different instance that's all about porn. I think it's actually the biggest instance for porn.
- So.. asking for a friend...
  
  https://lemmynsfw.com/

Just disable nsfw in your settings
- There may be content that isn’t porn that may be marked nsfw for whatever reasons users may want to see that blanket disabling NSFW would hide.
