Can an entire server be blocked? : support

[-] Becoming@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

This has been bugging me as well! I don't want porn in my "All" feed, but I don't want to turn off all NSFW content either.

[-] hairysonorth@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I blocked like 10 different porn subs and they keep popping up

[-] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I just blocked everyone I saw for a few days and I don’t see them anymore.

[-] lps2@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I do wish there were more granular NSFW tags. I don't wanna see porn but I do want bongs, psychedelic related content, and things that may be marked NSFW due to explicit language

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 23 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately not yet.

[-] NetCaptive@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

tits! one tit! two tit! tits on a train! tits on a plane! tits being held! tits being smelled!

This made my day.

Also, in 100% agreement, would love to block an entire server from appearing in my feed without those servers be defederated.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Personally I wouldn't mind if we got an option to mark porn as.. well.. porn, instead of throwing it on one heap with other nfsw content.

[-] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would also really like splitting up the NSFW to different categories, not just for porn, but for a lot of other stuff as well.

[-] Dio@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Blocking an instance? Yeah. I do it on the Connect app. If that's what you mean.

Perhaps other apps also offer this option, I don't know. Screenshot from a couple of days ago.

[-] schwim@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I'm talking about the native site in a browser, not a phone app.

[-] PriorProject@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's a frequently requested feature, there's a GitHub issue for it in the Lemmy project, Mastodon does it so it's possible, but it's not available yet.

To my knowledge, the only paths are:

Whack a mole with new titty communities, as you have been doing.
Use Connect, which achieves this via client-side filtering. That is to say, it must still download the titty posts, but doesn't display them to you.
Be a programmer and submit a PR to improve Lemmy, lemmy-web-ui, or the app of your choice to add this feature somehow.

[-] PaulDevonUK@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Which app is this?

I am using Thunder but do not have half of these handy options.

[-] yads@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Thunder is still pretty limited. You can do this in the webview FWIW (ie you don't need an app just go to Lemmy in your browser)

[-] Dio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The Connect app for Lemmy. :]

[-] klemptor@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder if this exists for Jerboa. I've never found that option but would love it!

[-] PriorProject@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It does not. I believe Connect is the only client with this feature, and it's done with client-side filtering. Connect still sees the posts from the instance, it just doesn't show them to you.

[-] SpaghettiProgrammer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There is already an open ticket and discussion, but no progress yet it seems.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

[-] Stuka@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just reading the comments on there "just sign up for an explicitly anti-commie instance"

That kinda thought is gonna doom this platform. Just another hurdle new users gotta jump over.

Edit: I'm amazed this qxtually submitted...2/10 this morning. Might be a tad frustrated

[-] messem10@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You also have to realize that the initial GitHub issue was submitted last year. Lemmy was a very different thing then. Now it is a catch-all for Reddit refugees, but for a bit it was going the same way as Voat.

[-] Nubbly_The_Moist@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 year ago

Lol, the wording of this post is fantastic.

[-] problembasedperson@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Currently, the only way is to setup a single-user instance and defederate.

[-] sab@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Surely there must be some instances open for registration that are defederated?

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Don't get my wrong, I love my porn, but I am not trying to have it in my primary feed that I scroll through at all times. This is definitely something that needs to be figured out!

[-] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lemmynsfw isn’t the only nsfw content anymore though either. Lemmy.world has a ton of porn communities now so you’d still get them even if you were able to block Lemmynsfw

[-] messem10@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, but it’d take care of the majority of them.

[-] Crul@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I use this userscript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances

You need to edit line 17 after installing.

[-] Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

I think you can block nsfw in your settings. The connect app also lets you block instances, but I'm not sure if the website has that

[-] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

OMG, thank you! There is a time and a place for porn!

[-] grte@lemmy.ca -4 points 1 year ago

If you don't want to see any porn there's a Show NSFW Content option in the settings.

[-] Kuro@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

They said they don't want to disable NSFW

[+] Ecology8622@lemmy.ml -6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How much time do people spend on here? I barely see any nsfw, if any, content when I go to All which is my default. And even if I do come across any , they are obfuscated. IMO the solution is don’t spend too much time on social media.

Edit: ok I apologize, it seems like I have it my settings. Now I get what you guys are saying.

[+] lemminer@lemmy.world -14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seriously lemmynsfw needs to be defederated. I was about to make a post on this issue. I spend an hour right now blocking all those cringe post from the all feed.

If I really in the mood to watch nudes. I would rather make an account over there than messing up with the feeds.

[-] eek2121@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

Nah, lemmy just needs to give users more control. Users should be able to block an entire instance. If I can stop being lazy, I will try and see if they accept a PR for this.

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Agree.

Reddit had community tags that it used to determine the nature of a community.
They used it to keep their advertisers happy, but I always wished it was possible for users to utilize the tags for filtering.

Heck — a sufficiently well-developed tag system could even be used for community exploration.

[-] lemminer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That works for me
