_number8_What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
slicedcheesegremlinI agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.
I think the above commenter is referring to stuff like EarthPorn or FoodPorn or UnixPorn
Oh duh I always hated the names of those subs. The only thing worse are subs like InterestingAsFuck and NextFuckingLevel which always gave the same vibes as a Watchmojo video.

no. fuck you.

Oh, that's because those subreddits were literally astroturfed and the mods were shills making money off of the products being shown off.
he is referring to subs like foorporn/cableporn etc. which are not actually porn
I’ve tried a couple apps and it looks like they’re trying to at the very least not have uncensored porn on your all feed. So that’s a step up.
On Lemmy? I block multiple porn subs a week that are popping up on my feed. It feels relentless to me.
Couldn't agree more. It sucks to try to bring someone to a new platform and go "you love decorating right? Then check /r/roomporn! No no, it's not porn I swear... Sigh"
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
z500It never bothered me per se, but it's definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.
finthechatBlocked all of those years ago
Hey, me too.

These subs lost all value years ago when they just became karma-laundering fronts.
It just seems so dated.
It reeks of “this website was funny and relevent in 2009!”
Funny enough, the first time I heard someone use ___porn IRL (outside of all the 90s surf/skate/ski videos i Grew up with which were always called a porn)
was a chef I used to work for, back in 2001-2, l woman in her 50s at the time. Who would refer to ‘food porn all the time.’
'OH we need a new salad for the spring menu- “go look at that stack of food porn (industry magazines and Michelin restaurant cookbooks) for inspiration”
Or “make me one of the swordfish special, but do it up for some food porn”
I guess its one of those terms that I dont really think of as dirty, or professional inappropriate anymore.
Romdeau4Do you mean actual NSFW content or things being called “_____ porn” like “unix porn” or “fight porn”?
TonyTonyChoppernot op but they mean the latter
I saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels.
This could work.
Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.
OnlyPixels sounds great, too, for a general community of nice everything.
Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.
What a wild site that was, some real loons were on it, but I did appreciate the fact it wasn’t so overly moderated. At the end though it just felt like a sanctuary of hate that had driven out most of the sane people.
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

Indeed. I like ‘Earthporn’ too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike.
That and the unnecessary profanity.
Subs like nextfuckinglevel. It just seems so immature.
kosureI agree on the names, but I'm really missing that kind of content. The ________porn communities from Reddit were a treasure trove of stuff.
PsythikFunny you say that cause I’ve been here less than a day and already have seen more porn in All than I ever did on reddit’s /r/all.
Wait till you hear how much I learn and engage with the world in r/animetitties
asudoxUnixporn?
There is (was?) a ”nosillysuffix” sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.
I sometimes block them within the app. I use Liftoff.
On the flip side, I’m sure it’s annoying for users who are actually trying to find porn to have to scroll through posts from dozens of unrelated posts from other communities with their junk in their hand.
It’s just a word, get over it.
