We thankfully have not yet reached that Reddit-esque phase where clicking NSFW in the All feed has a 50% chance of being porn and a 50% chance of being a gruesome mauling or gory death in an industrial accident.
On Lemmy its more 75% chance it will be gay or yiff porn.

Every time I come across porn I’m not interested in, I block the community. Now 99% of the nsfw I get is the one I like.
Only had the yiff experience for a short period of time.
Me too, I’ve seen far too much gay porn just to keep using Lemmy.
I had to block so much yiff when I first joined Lemmy. I knew it was out there, but I didn’t realize just how much until Lemmy. Maybe I blocked it gradually over time at Reddit and didn’t realize how much it was in total, but I felt like there wasn’t as much there.
I try not to judge their journey, but I have no need to join them on it.
Same. And throughout that process I was subscribing to different communities that interested me…to the point that I barely browse all communities anymore because my own feed is so robust and varied.
Is Lemmy the new Tumblr??
Never noticed that on Lemmy, but had your exact experience on bluesky.
That seems like a win to me
Yeah it’s a real mystery to me how Lemmy didn’t adopt extra tags.
There should be like at least 4 tags imo. One for hardcore sexual stuff, one for mild erotic stuff, one for general violence and general “mild” gore, and one for really disgusting NSFL shit.
Lemmy devs ☕
Devs were too busy trying to add a hardcoded “slur” filter to bother with user QoL features
There was a community for this, I think r/fiftyfifty
Yeah but it was more like a bunch of puppies frolicking vs someone brutally murdered face down in a ditch and it tended to be the latter
Most of the gory NSFW stuff I see is from Ukraine.
Unless someone on your instance subscribes to a bunch of NSFW communities (typically from lemmynsfw.com), then none of them will federate with your instance and consequently won’t be seen. You can test this by subscribing to one of them and then monitor your All feed afterwards. You should see them pop up at that point.
Yeah, and I don’t subscribe to Ukraine comms mostly for that reason. A quick check of the comm name on a NSFW post makes it pretty easy to filter though
I browse all, so I still get it from communities that aren’t dedicated to NSFW. It’s easy to avoid.
Nah, we’re just at the point where 90% of the time it’s a cartoon wolf with a three foot cock
Lemmy has dedicated porn instances (lemmynsfw.com and pornlemmy.com). Too bad some instances have defederated them.
Well, my instance hasn’t defederated. 😎

When I first joined, and even now every once in a while, I’ll see claims that the front page when sorting by All is full of furry porn.
I am literally on an instance made for furry porn and I never fucking see any. Where are y’all finding furry porn communities that are active on Lemmy?
I almost NEVER see furry porn. I’d rather see that than most other pron. I don’t believe anyone when they say they see it a bunch in /all/.
I can confirm this happened to me, had to block the communities/instances of furry porn or otherwise.
https://sh.itjust.works/c/yiff@lemmy.smeargle.fans is ‘active’ though pretty sure it’s just automatically mirroring reddit.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !yiff@lemmy.smeargle.fans
Because it’s just going to be the highly-filtered group of people who have seem to taken over Lemmy’s NSFW lately.

Uh… Fuck it, SUBSCRIBE.
SOMEONE found my tumblr.
I have NSFW stuff blocked on lemmy. I hardly ever see anything tagged NSFW anymore.
Same. Every now and then some furry shit from an obscure community will slip into my feed though. I’ve just been chiseling away at those communities. I don’t mind NSFW, I just don’t want porn on my main feed.
I’ve done the same, but I don’t remember just how many communities I’ve blocked until a new one to block pops up and it’s kinda wow that’s a lot of communities. It makes me hesitant to recommend Lemmy IRL because I don’t want people to think I’m here for the porn.
I’ve never seen any. I don’t know how people keep running into this lol.
My husband said the same thing about Reddit!!!
Didn’t Lemmy add a feature to allow the blocking of entire instances? I remember feeling envious of that as an mbin user.
50% chance it’s Rin.
I was thinking that too, fellow All Sorter. Lol
Make your choice, adventurous Stranger.
Click the pic and bide the danger
Or wonder, 'til it drives you mad
What would have followed if you hadI use this account too much around family, at work, etc. It’s all hidden.
I remember when it wasn’t, there was an instance for celebrity nsfw and zero percent of the images were nsfw.
Usually Nodachi and his harem.
I’ve already blocked that guy and the dozens of OF models he hires. Dude gives major cult leader vibes.
Oooo what am I missing? I have no idea what this means.
He and several women post themselves having sex and it pops up on the main feeds fairly often.
I have no issues with OF, but the posts just feel off. Big Terry Richardson energy. I can’t point to anything specifc, but the vibe is off.
Me hoping for feet pic when I click:
You wanna sub to !feet@lemmynsfw.com I guess.
Begone from this place, fiends.
Just a peek.
Is this a pun I don’t get, or did you mean “peek”?
Nope, you understood everything. I just suck at spelling. Correcting now.
Oh, cool . No sweat
Sometimes, I feel like it would be easier to find the One Ring than it would be to find NSFW content on Lemmy.
Your instance blocks one of the biggest porn instances, so that’s probably why.
That’s quite a big instance you got there
Depends. This main account is on an instance that defederates instances for that stuff, but when using my alt on .world for example I barely have to scroll for a nsfw post to appear.
It also depends on the sorting used under All.
In my instance you generally need to scroll a lot before finding NSFW stuff when sorting by Top for anything longer than Day.
What? It’s extremely easy if you look
It’s censored on your instance
Ticking the option in user settings to “Show NSFW content” because of scientific curiosity…
It’s always a penis isn’t it?
In my experience, usually it is not. I have mine not blur because I like to live dangerously, but it’s usually naked women. You do see the occasionally penis, but that’s just the cost of doing business.
I like the way you do business.
Most content on lemmynsfw.com is female related nudity, and even then someone on your instance has to actually subscribed to one or more communities there for their threads to federate with your instance and show up there. So unless someone on lemmy.world specifically subs to dick related communities (which I don’t know how active they are) the chances are rather low. And of course, not all 18+ marked content is strictly porn. But I think the majority right now are probably Ukraine related videos.
I don’t know how many people know but thumbnails have also an intermediate state - dragging thumbnail reveals content without zooming.
That probably depends on the frontend. I don’t think connect does this, but then again maybe there’s a setting for it idk
Wait, people hide NSFW content? I don’t care if people see it since I have posts set to have thumbnails, so nobody should reasonably be able to make it out anyway.
Well, since I will also browse Lemmy quite literally “at Work” it makes sense to check the Profile option that blurs the Not Suitable For Work stuff even if having the Show NSFW content also ticked.
Explicitly going back and forth changing the option depending on where you’re accessing Lemmy from is a recipe for mistakes, at best embarassing but, depending on where one works, which can go all the way up to being fired for cause.
I guess I would on a mobile app but definitely not at home since I’m the only one with access to my desktop anyway. Generally not a fan of blurred thumbnails. If there’s particular content I don’t like then I just block it individually.
If there’s particular content I don’t like then I just block it individually.
That’s exactly what I did the first time I accidentally clicked on a post from one of those dick pic communities. Immediate block. Same thing when I came across a spider community.
