Some times, when reading Lemmy comments, it seems that some word in the comment was replaced with “removed”, in italics. Is the app censoring comments? Is my lemmy instance doing that? Is there a way to turn that off?
I’m using Sync and Lemmy.ml

Ok, so this is likely coming from lemmy.ml then, and if I don’t want that, I’ll need to use a different instance. Thank you
Lemmy has a slur filter feature that instances can choose to use. It seems that lemmy.ml has it enabled and has a fairly expansive list of what the instance owners consider to be slurs. For example, the “b” word (term for female dog) is censored since it’s a gendered slur.
Edit: removed explicit language in case it gets auto filtered
You might want to ask this over at a Sync community. I’ve never seen this on Voyager, Memmy, etc.
That said, do you have a link to an example comment? Also, what does that comment look like when you view it through your instance’s web experience?
