Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???

    I think horror or gore should go to NSFL rather than moving porn off NSFW. NSFW had traditionally meant porn where NSFL has meant gore, there just hasn’t been a separate NSFL tag because that type of content has been discouraged and giving it it’s own tag could be seen as legitimizing it.

      Horror doesn’t mean gore and people use the nsfw tag for things other than porn, gore or horror too.

        There’s no means of exporting that list, and no way for you to import it except manually.

        I’m no going to that effort. (especially as I’m on mobile)

        Scroll all and block any porn that pops up. That’s what I’ve done over the last few months.

          I think they were making a joke about asking for the names of the communities so that they can go and browse them.

      Some of the apps allow blocking of instances, I use Sync For Lemmy and I blocked pornlemmy and lemmynsfw and I don’t see porn anymore for the most part, there are still some stray nsfw communities on other instances but I rarely see any of their content

    It would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.

      Many of the Android apps let you filter instances, as well as individual communities or users. Most instances don’t host porn because of the legal headache, so blocking the only two that specialize in it should (mostly) do the trick: lemmynsfw and pornlemmy. On Sync for Lemmy, tap the overflow button on an offending post > filter > filter instance

        I get that, but I don’t feel good about that solution. You’re sort of beholden to that specific client.

        Given new lemmy is as a platform, I don’t want to feel locked in yet (though I understand instance block lists might be cross compatible between all client apps supporting the feature).

        Another counter argument is that an instance block list should be relatively short. Keeping this list in a separate location and manually re-applying will probably not take up a lot of time.

    Yeah, I originally left it unchecked because I’m fine with non-porn NSFW stuff, but the porn was so overwhelming I just had to block it all.

        I’m not familiar with your instance, but it’s possible that it’s not federated with the two big porn instances.

          I know we’re federated with nsfwlemmy or whatever the name is. What’s the other one? I want to check.

          I know we haven’t had drama about defederating from some of the instances that I see other instances ranting about. Which is good. I don’t want us to defed.

    Nsfl = inury / death

    Nsfw = curse words, a boob, etc

    Porn tag for porn and art with nude chicks

      I like this. Nudity shouldnt be joined with porn.

      Porn is the act of having any sexcual activity. A video of naked art or whatever is not porn, but maybe nsfw.

      The old reddit rule says that wild things are porn and porn things are random ass photos of neat things… also, words strongly suggesting things related to the sex are just cats…

      So, we need a better wording for the porn-porn tag

    There is a current PR, nearly completed for instance level blocking.

    Until then, there is an easier method. Its called, looking at your subscribed feeds, instead of blindly looking at all.
