Any Way to remove the "Random Posts" part of the sidebar?

Im getting lots of NSFW content in the last time. I didnt find anything to disable the media prewvie in the sidebar either so there is no way to use the site in a setting where someone might see my screen. Anyone got a tipp or ways to change that?

  • Have the same problem. I already blocked /m/random but the sidebar still has random posts sometimes.

    You can't trust people to tag all their NSFW properly, so there will inevitably appear NSFW on there, even if I turned it off in the settings.

    • ok thx. I blocked it throught ublock Origin now but that only works on firefox, not on mobile...

    • Here's a strange observation I made today. Browsing /m/random/microblog/newest, get a massive NSFW image from mastodon.world, no blur, no filter, nothing. But if I go to the original post on mastodon.world, all the content is blacked out and you need to click to show. So clearly the user flagged their NSFW stuff, but the flag itself didn't federate to kbin, just the image. That's got to be a bug right?

  • A random list already seems to me a crappy function that almost nobody will appreciate, but here it is worse because it includes what is explicitly blocked.

  • I found that blocking the NSFW domains removed a lot of what I did not want to see in the sidebar. But, that may not help if you want the option to browse those forums sometimes. It's not a guarantee that you'll never see anything of the sort show up there, as plenty of domains allow NSFW content, but by removing the ones focused on it you'll dilute the chances significantly.
