Tldr lower. So there’s (yet again) another flurry of communities that are all crossposting each other’s content with this hentai stuff.
Aside from a lot of this being made with AI, it is in essence soft porn and I don’t want it in /all.
I usually write a comment under such posts saying
Set your comm to NSFW pls
Rarely the mod write “Done” and that’s it. Often it is downvoted, and now it’s also just removed by mod for (I wouldn’t know the reason as it’s on a different instance to mine)

TLDR; I don’t want my all feed to be a soft porn feed, is there anyway of not having these hentai soft porn communities in all, apart from individually blocking them (which doesn’t really work, as they keep making more communities).
“All” means all. I suggest not using “all” but subscribing to things you actually want to see.
"All means all.
Not always. For instance if you have NSFW filtered, in which case “all” means “most”.
All is still all, but you curated it to your liking (like OP should do)
This is a recurring response, so forgive me for hijacking your comment to write this again.
/all is where we make our first impression to the world. For a lot of people /all is where (on a still growing platform) people go to discover. I don’t think having an additional “soft NSFW” filter would be a bad thing.
There’s a reason most clients have an NSFW filter in their settings.
Go to your Settings, uncheck the “Show NSFW content” box, click Save.
?
How does this… Did you…
[…] and I don’t want it in /all.
Skill issue. That’s literally what /all is for.
Block what you don’t want, or set your starting page to subscribed and curate from there. That’s half the point of this entire place.
The other half you already did the work: notified the comms they have to set to NFW, etc.
I’ve responded to the top comment to address the flaws in that argument.
I am amazed at how helpless some people…
You don’t want to see it, click block!
JFC have some fucking agency… I know it is annoying but the fix is easy and right there.

It’s what TikTok did to a generation. It’s incredible.
Back in my day, I could even program the time on the VCR!
Ah, but could you programme the timer to record while you were out?!
I mean I could, but I ran out of tapes to keep recording stuff in.
The only way All works is by either manually blocking individual communities or manually blocking certain instances.
Once you’re done, it’s mostly fine, but like you say, new ones do pop up.
There’s ONE GUY who runs like 20 different AI porn communities and keeps creating more.
Exactly what I’ve done. Set my settings to hide NSFW, blocked most of the “soft” communities like hot girls and moe anime girls and whatever else (blocking the lemmynsfw.com instance is a great place to start), and I use All frequently. That’s how I’ve found all the communities I’ve subscribed to, but frankly, my /all feed is small enough that I usually see all my subscribed communities anyway.
Why am I not surprised that the most sensible response comes from one of the more awesome mods on this platform
o7 sir, thanks for acknowledging my point and chiming in.
Hey, I was in your boat when I started on Lemmy 2 years ago.
“Wow, that’s a lot of furry porn. And gay porn. And gay, furry porn.”
Not gonna judge, if that’s your thing, it’s your thing, it’s just not MY thing…
I mean…that doesn’t really seem that bad? Also, asking for the whole community to be nsfw is a wild overreaction looking at the other pictures in the community.
If you browse the all feed, expect to see some things you don’t like/enjoy. It’s a fire hose of content by design. Learn to curate your subscribed feed and stick to it. Frankly, lemmy doesn’t have great filters/blocks to do what you want, and expecting the whole rest of the internet to abide by such strict standards of nsfw isn’t going to happen.
PieFed has a “Hide posts in communities with these words in their name” filter for exactly this scenario.
That function doesn’t seem to function properly btw. I have tried with “meme” and “politics” and communities with those words in them still keep popping into my feed on PieFed.
Fixed now!
Go to https://piefed.social/user/settings/filters and save the form to flush a cache and then the fix will kick in.
Impressive
weeell, maybe more impressive if I’d tested it better weeks ago, but I’ll take the W
😄
Amazing! I did not expect that outcome from my comment
I can’t believe y’all 🤣
This is clearly a mostly non offensive example.
Would you like me to head into my feed and find some furry porn not marked nsfw? Just send me your work address. 🙄
Plenty of other people have said it, and I’ll repeat it: Stop browsing by /all. Find a handful of communities you want to subscribe to, and stick with those.
There is a fair point to make that it’s instances that should default to /local instead of /all - at least for uncredentialed guests. Since if you want to see more, you can just get to the next instance, and the next, and the next…, and that way we avoid reloading basically the same content and stuff on every instance you visit.
And it helps instances better moderate how they present themselves to potential sign-ups.
That is indeed a fair talking point, which of course has its own risk of a new user not know there’s more to the fediverse (or not knowing what the fediverse is) than only what a local instance shows.
A new user will know because they sign in and they get access to more features of the instance, such as ability to follow, star, block, etc.
A mere visitor, can simply be pointed to the /all button. It just does not need to be the default.
I’ve responded to the top comment to address the flaws in that argument.
I browse All and have like 2000 communities blocked
[Edit] 1823 communities and 12 instances blocked
I presume you don’t have alts then!
Technically I DO have an account on a different instance I was considering switching to but I logged out immediately after seeing they federated with hexbear lol
That’s your example of softcore porn? There’s much racier content on magazine covers in the grocery checkout line. Stop trying to impose your puritanical aesthetic on the rest of the world. It’s called /all for a reason. What’s wrong with you?!
I’ve responded to the top comment to address the flaws in that argument.
I feel like you’ve missed the point entirely.
Nobody really seems to be pointing out that you are on an instance that does not require the behavior you are requesting.
I thought this community is for discussions about the Fediverse and not limited to any particular instance.
Yes, but there are no (cannot be) any content rules that apply to the entire fediverse, the admins of each instance determine what experience their users will have.
Not everyone is seeing the same posts you are seeing, and your instance has no rules on the topic. You could have more luck enacting change by messaging your admins or making a meta post in your instance’s meta community.
I’m a bit baffled at how many people are misunderstanding my post.
This is not instance related. This is just an additional NSFW type of filter. Please reread the OP or my other comments.
I see, then what you’re asking for is sadly impossible.
Also FWIW I do not have the same issue as you. Not sure why!
I don’t know any place which have the proposed “soft nsfw” filter separate from “nsfw”.
Comparison with reddit is weird as reddit r/all is full of ““artistic”” pictures or paintings of naked women.
Also the fediverse is not really like reddit. The more the platform grows the more useless All becomes. Try to go to mastodon and browse by “all” it’s unusable. Either pick an instance with a good “local” you like or all is not really that important. I don’t think it’s a “first impressions”, first impression is “local”. All is never going to be a curated feed, not a consistent one. It’s a federated platform, which means a LOT of diversity and variety on communities and posts.
Also I don’t see or even want to start consider anything that shows a little skin “nsfw”. I think that’s a very personal taste that should not be universally applied.
I really don’t buy the argument here.
Argument 1: nobody else has it so why should we? Because we are new, the next step - we improve what needs to be done better.
Argument 2: reddit is full of porn… see above. We can make it better, at very little cost to anyone.
Argument 3 is undermining your first 2, but I agree. This would cause a few instances to become very popular and render the concept of federation unnecessary.
I don’t understand how a bunch of people here are basically say /all is a sewer, accept it.
I’m say it is not and doesn’t have to be. It is a place for discovery, and there is a way to make that more pleasant. Another commenter said an AI filter would also be good.
All I am suggesting is In addition to having the Fediverse allowing posts and communities to be marked NSFW, to allow for more filters. One filter like what I am suggesting could be a snowflake or FamFriendly filter which removes suggestive, soft porn or racy or soft gore stuff. Another could be AI which removes synthetically generated content.
How anyone can be against that is beyond me. I’m not asking for these things to be turned on by default, or to shove it down people’s throats. By default /all would still be the same
I understand NSFW and FamilyFriendly are blurry concepts. It is still up to the post OPs, community creators, moderators and instance administrators to use these properly.
People are against it because several reasons.
First because it’s a very specific taste/opinion that they don’t share. You are saying that “all would be more appealing without softcore porn”, but it seems that you are the only one who thinks that here, most people don’t care or even like it. We could also put a filter to blurry dog pictures for people scare of dogs, where does it end? Until which point personal tastes should have their own explicit filters? It ends in a “word filter” which is already usable.
Also I would say that most people is against this because it reads as a first step towards a “porn ban”. We have no puritan advertisements or pay processor to please. People here like the freedom. And that would be a step in the opposite direction. It reads a little like so many discourses we are seeing in so many places to make them “family friendly” and to “protect the children”. I would suppose that due the nature of the fediverse (which is a push back against those people controlling our internet) is against anything that looks like that.
Ok, I hear you. But as I said, it’s just adding filter options to those snowflakes like me, while not changing a single pixel for those like yourself.
Allowing superior UX for more people is how you make the internet better.
Nobody is advocating for a ban, nor can or will this be used as a first step towards one.

History has proven you wrong since as early as the Dark Ages and as recently as two weeks ago in the UK.
Mate no. the UK ban did not originate from a federated open source community implementing filter systems.
Stop spreading absolute panic bullshit like this.
I would say, show me historic proof, but I doubt you’re that type of person.
I haven’t noticed that so I probably blocked them long ago. You have to do some maintenance on the feed but these things do not pop up constantly.
I occasionally see similar complaints, and I’m sure it’s legitimate for some users. But personally I don’t get it. I don’t block NSFW content, and yet I rarely see it in /all. When I do it’s usually a bunch at once, but like I said it doesn’t happen a lot.
The only thing in /all that used to bother me is the sports stuff, but by blocking a single community that’s mostly gone now.
Everyone calm yer tits
*jumps*
It’s also bad because of the UK online safety act. I don’t want our flamingo to be at risk :(
You’ve upset the thirsty weebs. They yearn for their Yuri furi porn.
No there is nothing to do. This is decentralized social media. This is what they want. This place will never be popular, will always lack the content, and in general be a shit show content wise.
