Normies trying to use Lemmy rule

is it actually that bad? i've seen no furry stuff in my feed (all/hot) beyond my first like 3 days here
totally not asking because i'm looking for it
- In my experience you only see it if you have nsfw stuff turned on and you have nsfw unhidden and you browse stuff by new (this is coming from a furry on a furry instance). The furry complaints are overblown imo, lemmynsfw is way worse; stuff doesn't always get tagged as nsfw there.
  
  I blocked like 3 magazines, and 99% of the furry stuff on my 'new' feed immediately dried up. Mostly just a few places being very active, it would seem.
- I don't think I have really come across any and I browser All with NSFW enabled.
- I mean, I see a lot of furries in my local feed, but it doesn't take a sherlock to see why. In all feed though, even with this account, I could hardly see any furry posts, although very occasionally they show up.
- Maybe it's lemm.ee? Not a furry but in all while sorting by new, I get a large quantity of furry porn, along with other porn. I'll admit I'm blocking every porn community until I can just block instances, so maybe that shows more, but it's been like this the entire time
- I had to block five to ten-ish furry or similar communities and I’ve since seen nothing furry related on my feed. So it’s not like it’s a huge problem, but it does certainly affect people’s first impression of the platform.
- I have not seen any furry stuff yet, except the odd lemmy-flooded-by-furry meme. NSFW enabled.
- So much so that I disabled NSFW posts altogether.
- If you allow any NSFW content (like Ukraine feeds) it comes through, and there are like 40+ Yiff communities. I spent the weekend after I joined blocking them.
  The only others that are as bad are Baseball, Soccer, and F1. I am working on blocking all of them as well.

My fursona is a homo sapien. Am I doing this right?
(This joke isn't meant to denigrate furries at all, rather it is a joke pointing out that humans are animals, too. That's all)
- Don't worry, I got the joke even before your edit.
  Now then:
  Pushes glasses up snout ACKTHUALLY while humans might technically be animals, the furry community revolves around animals that possess unnaturally human characteristics, or to put it another way, animals with anthropomorphic features. Because human characteristics are natural to humans, they aren't really part of the furry community.
  That said, most furries will accept you anyway so long as you aren't disrupting the vibe. Hell, some people have 'sonas which aren't based on animals at all, but instead based on planes, trains, etc. There was a meme that went around furry Twitter recently where artists were turning trains into "synth" dragons or similar creatures.
- Yeah I’m not worried about offending people who wear fur suits and jack off to cartoons.
  
  I prefer my porn to be 100% industry-exploited humans
- I too identify as a homo sapien, you can call me homo

Theres a post on here trying to get people to switch to firefox because hot fox girl
- meanwhile linux users:
  
  Xenia is way cooler than the fucking penguin
- Do not have sex with the furry browser
  
  But why is the furry browser so hot if I wasn't meant to have sex with it? Checkmate atheists.
  
  :)
- Based
  
  I mean, honestly, any way we can get people to drop the Chrome (and Chromium derivative) monopoly on the internet right now is important, because Google is really throwing their weight around. Web Environment Integrity is Digital Rights Management for fucking ads. Drink your verification can, please!
  Firefox or Safari, they're the last two non-Chromium based browsers available.

First yiff is free.

Femboys and furries and small or huge titties. If you can silence all 40 of each Iof those communities, Lemmy is usable.
No weiners. No anime. No hairy minges. No extreme titties. Is that so much to ask for?
- Or you can browse following and see only what you are following, you know? Like how reddit does it
  
  That would be fine if there was a way to meaningfully populate your subscribed list on sign up, but there isn't. You gotta go out and see what exists, and shit is weird.
  
  Or even browse Local if you sign up on an instance that doesn’t have that.
- What about feet and toe torture
  
  What about it? I made my list and I'm gonna lie in it.
- Since my instance doesn't allow porn, I have never seen weird/naughty stuff in my feed 🤷‍♂️

All the furry shit really turned me off in the beginning, I'm glad that all the new content watered it down a little. It used to be like every other post was some furry shit. I respect just about everyone, except for furries. Those guys are fucking gross.

NSFW stuff is generally fine with me, that can mean a lot of things. Luckily I haven't seen a ton of furry shit on my Lemmy feed, (primarily use jerboa, so maybe that has an effect?) But on Mastodon I have to block so many people that appear on my feed. I just don't wanna see your kink shit people, please.
- are you using the federated timeline or did you set up shop on a furry instance? in most cases federated ends up being a trashfire and you should either use local and/or follow specific hashtags.
  you can also mute words, so a carefully crafted set of word mutes would help you quite a bit. and the best of all, this is encouraged! nobody will blame you if you decide to filter out anything you don't want to see.
  
  Using the mstdn instance. I follow hashtags such as "gaming" and "art" and that usually is where it comes from.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the original artist for the picture is. It's been sitting on my phone for years now, waiting for a chance to be used.

I feel like this is the second panel of a 'know the workplace rules' snowclone but I can't imagine what the first panel would be

Lemmy does have an issue with NSFW stuff showing up in various sorting modes. I can't say any of it bothers me in particular but it's going to be a detriment to Lemmy's growth with the public at large if it isn't changed. I think the easiest fix is to exclude NSFW communities from appearing unless a user is subscribed to them.
- Or maybe do a Reddit and make an NSFW-free version of all? It’s definitely not because I want to or anything but I’ve found most of my subscribed NSFW communities through the all feed so far.

I’ve been reporting every furry post
- You just keep doing that. I'm sure it'll eventually have an effect.
- Cut it out, dumbass.
  
  lol read that in butthead’s voice.
