I just reached 112 myself.

I’m very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don’t want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.

You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.

    Why block them? I like a little spice with my scrolling. Plus it’s a fun mystery box to see what’s under the blur. Straight/gay? Cis/trans? That one guy that literally just posts 100 fully clothed celebs every hour to disappoint you? Who knows.

    That has always been allowed. As long as you don’t want others to censor nsfw, all is good. I like porn. I want more high quality porn on Lemmy. That takes time.

      This isn’t about controlling what others see - I’d just like for users to be able to block entire instances, because blocking 3 more porn communities every time I reload All gets tiring.

      I like porn when I’m in the mood for it. I’ve got an alt on lemmynsfw for that. Though I feel your point about high quality content: The specific stuff I’m interested in hasn’t had a new post in a month. The only thing I still use reddit for, really…

          I would prefer regex blocking, as there are categories of communities that I am not interested in seeing regardless of which instance they are on. It is annoying to have to continually block them because someone setup a new instance and created the same community again.

            I might actually submit a feature request for this. Maybe default to simple wildcard blocks with an “advanced” mode that enables regex matching.

      I use it as a way to discover new communities. Any recommendations on how you manage your subscription without looking at all from time to time?

        It’s tedious, but I found just looking at lists of communities to be more helpful. If something looks interesting, open it up, check it out, and subscribe. Browsing your subscribed communities is an infinitely better experience. Plus, if you’re willing to take the time blocking communities, I feel like that takes just as much time as scrolling through a list of ones for potential matches for your interests.

    Connect app lets you block instances

    Which I’ve used to block languages I don’t speak from being on my all feed

    So much yiff stuff blocked. Being unable to block the entire instance is annoying.

    Same with language specific instances I can’t understand.

    I just have nsfw as a whole blocked. I have other ways to see porn if I want to and I want to use Lemmy in places where my daughter or my boss won’t walk by and think I’m looking at porn.

    If that’s your thing, go for it, but it is too much of a risk for me with little reward.

        Of course I watch porn. Do you think my wife has to drop her panties on command? There are times I’m feeling the need but she isn’t in the mood. Or isn’t around.

          I was just surprised because jerking off to other women having sex while committed to one seems wrong. I didnt consider you two might have agreed on it. But I don’t agree its either porn or not having sex if your partner isnt around. You can just jerk off without.

            Why is it wrong? You’re not cheating. It’s just fantasy. I haven’t stopped noticing other women who I think are really attractive either. I just don’t try to fuck them. Doesn’t mean I can’t imagine what it might be like.

            Coincidentally, tomorrow will be our 23rd anniversary. You don’t stay married 23 years and never fantasize about what it might be like if your life had been different and you had been with a different woman.

              It’s wrong because most of the time that isn’t something your SO will be ok with. If your wife is ok with it, thats that.

                You’ve had some weird, prudish SO’s then, thats perfectly normal and if a woman i was dating was that controlling, I would be out the door.

                  I’m surprised you see it as prudish not wanting your SO lusting for and jerking off to other women having sex. Why not attend strip clubs too. Watching some women dance is tamer than watching them have sex.

      Same. I’m not going to judge anyone for scrolling All, but that’s definitely not a level of chaos I’ve ever wanted to deal with.

    Admin for lemmynsfw here, and I just wanna say that we desperately need instance blocking for lemmy. Or at least some way for instances to be able to restrict NSFW content in /all. Some people do not want to see NSFW content or simply can’t, and that’s more than fine.

      I really don’t get it. I use wefwef and don’t see any nsfw, like at all. You just simply uncheck it on your home instance. And just learned today wefwef also has a nsfw toggle which was off for me

    Similar amount + even more users.

    I miss “by type” filters. With politics, news, sport and cats/dogs gone, I’d probably have to block only few communities irrelevant to my interests.

    A disclaimer: I love both cats and dogs, but the communities dedicated to either are damn depressing + the photos are usually of shit quality.

      I’ve only blocked a single user: @youtube_feed_bot@lemm.ee. The amount of posts from them on my All page was stupid.

      I’ve considered blocking a few people who cross-post, since it’s annoying to have the same exact post from the same exact user in 2-4 different communities being on my All page at the same time, but haven’t yet.

        Do tell me…

        I’m not sure what motivates people who come here to practice “gorilla marketing” and do everything in their power to gain popularity and virtual points. It’s like they don’t realize it’s not Facebook or Reddit…
