Yeah I’m deleting this app now. I love a nice alternative to reddit, but considering how much unblurred porn bleeds through to my timeline with no provocation, I really don’t want to run the risk of something truely heinous like whatever is associated with this making it to my Frontpage.

If it helps, I use kbin.social (and its PWA for mobile browsing) and haven't seen any porn at all in my feed. I assume it's filtered out by default, but I haven't checked. I don't get any of the extreme political stuff in my feed either.

Yep. Kbin is the way.

Yep, there was some in the early days but nowadays it seems to be gone to the point I think it's bugged and hiding all NSFW content regardless of your profile setting.

I occasionally see something tagged as "18+", although it's never been porn. I have wondered if it's bugged, too, but I don't really mind either way - there are other websites that are far, far better for porn if that's what I'm looking for. Maybe there's some great non-porn, non-gore content that I've been missing out on, but I think the chances are fairly slim.

It’s honestly depressing at how Lemmy has turned over the last few months since I joined. I would now never mention I use the site or recommend it to others. There’s just too many fucking landmines for new users to step over to have a good experience here.

I’m sticking with it for the time being, but I don’t see myself ever using it again if it gets worse.

Kbin is much better. I don't see any porn.

Lemmy user here, I don’t see either… The guy has bad settings

You can simply block NSFW, you can do it in your settings

Might be wise to reverse the default. Those who want can enable it.
Show threadɯᴉuoʇuɐOct 3, 2023
That’s how Lemmy works already. When you register, the registration page gives the option to enable NSFW - i.e. it is off by default. (At least on lemmy.world and on dbzer0, I haven’t checked other instances but I believe they work the same, except the porn instances.)
