The death of Sync for Reddit is what has made me join Lemmy - Lemmy.world

I barely use reddit anymore save for porn and niche subs but after that glorious app I had used for ages finally died a few days ago I felt devastated. it was like losing an old friend. I hope reddit dies an even slower and more painful death

Well. Judging by my world feed, the porn is coming.

We really should have the ability to block entire instances as users.
Show threadFantomasJul 3, 2023
You can turn off NSFW content. I suppose if I’m browsing all then I should expect it.
Show threadIgloojoeJul 3, 2023
Its blocked by default on accounts.
Show threadguymanJul 3, 2023
That’s not good enough. Some NSFW users may want to see that isn’t porn. Being able to block instances like “lemmynsfw” is way more effective.

I’d wager most people who want to see NSFW don’t want to see it in all. NSFW seems like it’s more of a thing you search for at specific times rather then something you want popping up while you’re browsing for the other kind of entertainment. Not that I’m speaking from experience of course.

Also, as others have mentioned, the more gorey or profanity filled style NSFW isn’t something I’d like to have blocked from all, but it is something I don’t want to autoplay or be uncensored in case I’m actually at work.

I think on kbin you can. Hopefully it will be added on Lemmy too

On kbin you can.

Where? I'm not seeing it.
Show threadSilverserenJul 3, 2023
When you're on an instance, instead of clicking the subscribe button on the right hand side, click the circle with a line through it.
Show threadNougatJul 3, 2023
Ah - "on an instance," I hadn't ever done that. While I'm not seeing a handy "click to browse this instance," I have sorted out that I can do kbin.social/d/[instance} to get there. That works well enough for my purposes. (And kbin refers to these as "domains.")
Show threadSilverserenJul 3, 2023
Just for future knowledge then, you can click on the little name of the instance/domain below a post and that'll take you to that same main page you're manually navigating to.

Thank you! I promise I'm not stupid, just ignorant.
Show threadSilverserenJul 3, 2023
No judgement here. I just wanted to make sure you knew so you could utilize it in the future.
Show threadBUSTANUTELLAJul 3, 2023
click your name on the top right, settings, check "hide adult content"

I wouldn't be surprised if the large "mainstream" Lemmy and KBin instances start degenerating from the NSFW focused instances before too long.
Show threadguymanJul 3, 2023
I hope they don’t. Users should have the power to decide for themselves what content they want to see.
Show threadpsyspoopJul 3, 2023
I understand that but at the same time instance admins need to take into consideration whether they're willing to deal with NSFW content in terms of moderation. Especially with NSFW content from other instances that they have no control over. When you're talking about consequences that could include legal issues, it's completely fine for admins to decide they'd prefer to not deal with it at all.
Show threadguymanJul 5, 2023
Errr… this has nothing to do with illegal content or even specifically NSFW content. Users should have the power to block instances they don’t want to. It’s impossible to find an instance that blocks all the instances an individual user wants to unless they host it themselves or are friends with the hosts.
Show threadmegane-kunJul 3, 2023
There’s also lemmynsfw for that kind of thing.
