Fighting with furry and anime porn is the bane of my existence on Lemmy. You block one instance, another three pop up.

Orbituary@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I've managed to block most of it. The mere mention of yiff makes my skin crawl.

Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 2y

Yiff uwu

You realize furries run the Internet right?

hOrni@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

You misspelled "ruin".

Forester@yiffit.net · 1 pts · 2y

Your username is literally horny but okay keep talking shit like you're also not a degenerate.

We will continue to administrate the internet.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Embrace the porn, I guess.

Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com · 6 pts · 2y

This is the way.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y (14 replies)

Weird, I've not seen anything like that for maybe 6 months

Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 2y (13 replies)

Same, what Lemmy is that user browsing? I don’t see any furry stuff on /all/.

Interesting! I haven’t noticed that. I’ll make some more accounts on different instances!

Made an account on pawb and zero furry pron in /all/. The complaining folks are DECEITFUL

Woah, so different accounts will have completely different /all feeds? Wish there was a way to toggle without creating new accounts.

Syd@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

So multiple users of an instance could all subscribe to the same community to manipulate what's on /all in that instance?

Thanks for explaining this… something about it being kind of democratic (?) makes it more amusing than irritating.

Lemmy still feels thin compared to the colossal poop-chute that was Reddit.

Knowing that the spurt of new furry porn in my all feed, is the result some new Lemmite fast-fingering the subscribe button is kind of delightful :-)

ignotum@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

there aren't many (if any) dbzer0 users subscribed to that content.

Would be a shame if someone were to... register an account on that instance and... subscribe to a couple communities

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Yah for a few months I would see shit like that and block the community or sometimes instance. Worked fairly well.

Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y

I like furry shit and still done see it lawl

Neato@ttrpg.network · 13 pts · 2y

I pretty much never see porn show up for me in all. I get a bunch of communities showing pictures of partially clad women I have to block but that's it. Did you disable NSFW?

fushuan@lemm.ee · 12 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I'm having none of that, what kind of content are you searching for it to be impossible?

Demdaru@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Not OP but had same problem...simply scrolled All and had to block around 7-10 of these...but that was a few months ago and now it's silent so dunno

fushuan@lemm.ee · 0 pts · 2y

yeah, insttead of blocking nsfw instances (since I think that that blocks users too), I blocked every nsfw community that popped up, and after the first week I've had no issues either.

YerbaYerba@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I think lemm.ee has no subscribers to those communities so we don't see it. I'm on the same instance as you and have the same experience.

fushuan@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Oh no no, I did see plenty nsfw posts on my first week, but that was like the first week where I blocked a bunch of nsfw communities.

gnutrino@programming.dev · 10 pts · 2y (6 replies)

Oh my god! That's disgusting. Furry and anime porn on Lemmy? Where? Where do they post those?

Jimbo@yiffit.net · 8 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Oh you know, on certain instances

gnutrino@programming.dev · 7 pts · 2y

There are so many though. Which ones? Which ones do they post on?

L0wded_@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Why do you want to know? 😏😏😏

atocci@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

On Voyager with my sh.itjust.works account with nsfw toggled off and I don’t see any furry or porn.

I am pleased with this.

GladiusB@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

Accept your life path waifu

ignotum@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

Lemmy doesn't show you the communities you want, it shows you the communities you need

BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 2y

Block ani.social, yiffit, and pawb.social, turn off NSFW posts and you'll be 99% there. There's a few anime .world communities but they're easy enough to block

ouRKaoS@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 2y

I browse all on Lemmy way more than I did on Reddit. The porn blocking game of whack-a-Hydra is constant.

sramder@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (3 replies)

There has got to be a Whack-A-Mole joke in here somewhere.

But yeah… same bud.

snooggums@midwest.social · 7 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Whack off a mole?

Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Great work team, home by five.

sramder@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

And I’ve died laughing :-) Thank you for that.

P.S. No idea why I just got a notification for this.

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

I haven't seen any in ages. I think I blocked 2-3 instances at least, though. Anyway, there's hope! It can be done.

RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

"Why do feet pics keep popping up? I specifically blocked that entire community."

nifty@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I don’t see any at all! I think that’s because I’ve blocked NSFW instances by default

Crazy that a character from The Simpsons has such a large following.

holycrap@lemm.ee · 43 pts · 2y (4 replies)

One of the big features lemmy is missing is standardized tags for communities that you can block. So a community can be tagged "porn," "sports," or "politics" and you can then search by our block communities by tag. That would fix this.

mesamunefire@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Throw it on the tracker on GitHub.

jjagaimo@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 2y

There's an RFC for (per post?) tags but not sure what ever happened to that

Trollception@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 2y

Do you tag all communities "linux"?

thesporkeffect@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It would also be amazing if there was something like a unique post ID that could be used when posting to multiple communities/servers and just combine the discussions in the client instead of seeing a chunk of 5 of the same link

EvilLootbox@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 2y (2 replies)

the advertisement that brought them here in the first place

NorthWestWind@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Mind explaining what happened?

EvilLootbox@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

As for Peggy Bundy's ad it's in reference to reddit putting ads everywhere from this post https://lemmy.world/post/14695586

Yesterday I was reading a thread here about how people came from reddit and were turned off from all the furry and anime content, I tried to find it but can't right now. Fwiw I have no problem with furries and I blocked the anime stuff I didn't care for, it's just a shitpost

Hooters, hooters, on a girl that's- no wait...

Lie when she's aching, lie when she's waking, lie when you know she's faking. Lie, sell shoes, and lie.

The porn on Lemmy is a dumpster fire compared to Reddit, but then if there wasn’t any porn I’d be fine, my spank bank is bursting at the seams as it is

FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 2y

Hah, if that were accurate then Wags would be a dude.
