    I guess they haven’t discovered the button to block communities?

    My feed is quite nice after blocking the stuff that doesn’t appeal to me.

      Same. Block is a key feature. That said, I’m actually fascinated at how many furry communities there are. You’d think blocking c/furry would take care of 90% of the problem, but who knew c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair had such a dedicated following.

      The problem is that there are so many porn communities that I have to block one every time I open Lemmy.

              Or just make a NSFW-less account on one instance and a NSFW-ful account on a different instance. You don’t even need to log out of one to switch to the other. Just change the URL slightly.

              I’d like it if an app could be configured to automatically use specific accounts for specific communities, or automatically use an account from the same instance when posting to communities on that instance.

                  I think reddit always favored desktop.

                  I was doing a bit of a bit anyway. Kind of a long standing, very niche, very low level background rivalry between desktop and mobile users. In the same vein as iOS vs android but even more irrelevant and pointless. My favorite type of bit.

                  Is there a reason why? I was doing a joke or bit originally, but I do wonder these random things.

                  In my own life I basically took to smartphone app usage over desktop browsers (or laptops) nearly immediately when I got my first in my early 20s. I’ve now come to the point where I find browsing written forums on non-mobile almost painful and only do it for troubleshooting type purposes. Same for consuming media like news or YouTube videos and such. Some things just seem to take to using as background, distracting scrolling and now that I know that I can’t go back. Although one desktop I had years back for about two years was boring as fuck and the IT somehow didn’t block reddit so I used that on desktop just so my bosses thought I was doing stuff and not on my phone (bad service there anyway and IT never seemed to care unless it was incredibly over the line nsfw stuff)

      Thank you! I’ve just been browsing with NSFW turned off, but: A) I actually would rather turn on the blur function if there wasn’t literal porn throughout the “all” feed. B) A bunch of mild soft core stuff like “pretty women” and “celebs” gets through anyway.

      Can’t believe it never occurred to me to use the block button to shape the all feed.

      Some phone apps do not support that feature. Couldn’t find it in Memmy for Lemmy for example, so I bounced.

      The ratio right now is a bit off compared to Reddit…I didn’t mind the occasional NSFW post when it was ~1% of my feed. But on Lemmy ATM it’s about 10%. I do block em, but I feel like I’m missing the occasional NSFW post that’s important (say war updates from Ukraine, etc)

    Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It’s ramping up that way.

    I think it’s great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It’s good Internetting.

    Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.

    Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I’d go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.

    There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It’s never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.

    It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist’s livestock.

        Exactly. I legitimately long for an actual leftist space which isn’t just edgy anti-western brain rot. I want to actually discuss theory and praxis and statecraft with people who can actually acknowledge that obsessive Chinese autocracy should be condemned as harshly as western imperialism. Unfortunately, my experience on Lemmy has once again demonstrated that this is impossible.

    Reddit refuge here. I’m super sad to see people trying to turn lemmy into reddit, this is our chance to make it better. Stop filling the new feed with reddit archive bullshit.

    Secondly, I’m fine with the porn. I miss scrolling r/all and getting the surprise boob. Surprise boobs are the best.

    Although I will say the furry community on lemmy is fierce. I’ve blocked like 40 communities and I’m still getting dog dicks in my feed. How many different communities do you people need?

          It was actually that I wasn’t on ‘All’. Still getting used to lemmy. I almost always browse Active or Hot, never all because it seemed kind of less quality to my eyes. Maybe it was the porn and I just forgot about it.

    I’m on lemmy.world and there’s been virtually no NSFW content I’m seeing on this account. I had to create an account on lemmynsfw.com to be able to start seeing it. Hell, I have an Instagram account specifically to see NSFW stuff and I still find my feed filled with completely SFW funny animal videos, baking creations, and woodworking. The internet does not want me to give in to my vulgar proclivities.

        Sorry for the late reply. It’s been a busy couple of weeks. I double-checked and it isn’t defederated. I think maybe no one had ever looked up content from the server before so it wasn’t showing up. It hadn’t federated yet. Now that I’ve pulled in posts with a search, I might have opened the floodgate. LOL.

      I haven’t seen any porn at all. (And I checked the NSFW checkbox.)

      I do see posts about how China is the greatest country on earth and how they will save the planet from global warming. Which is funny to me because they are the biggest contributors to climate change, global warming, pandemics, terrorism, suppression of free speech, murdering their own citizens with tanks, but I don’t seem to recall clicking that checkbox.

    People on lemmy.ml thinking we just really enjoy Mali.

    It’s actually been super refreshing to, generally, be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist and not immediately get downvoted into oblivion. There are still some of the kneejerk reactions to the CPC, but even then people seem more willing to engage on good-faith even with disagreements.

      be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist

      CPC

      I think those two things are not the same and quite incompatible. Modern China is a capitalist hellscape, certainly not the communist utopia Marx had in mind. They have one of the highest levels of wealth disparity in the world and the highest number of billionaires, even more than the US.

      I fully believe that Marx would be horrified if he saw modern China.

        Theres is a lot of nuance to that argument. Even Marx agreed that a capital stage is a necessary step on the way to communism. That’s the whole dialect part of dialect materialism. Each step of the ladder has to be walked through and past as it becomes obsolete.

          I think he meant that it was necessary when going from a capitalist society to a communist society. China went from a rural society to a communist society to a capitalist society.

          To be honest, nothing against that, it’s obvious to me that communism as applied by the USSR or Mao or the Kims does not really work and the people really suffered for that, but if you do believe in the communist tenants, then China and Russia are as far away from that as you can possibly get.

      The only trouble is that not everything NSFW is porn. Your suggestion only works if you never want to see things like potentially-disturbing news articles, fail videos where somebody gets injured, etc. either. (Or if you’re a sicko who gets off on that stuff too, I suppose!)
