Seriously though.
Because it’s full of Linux IT people aka furries and anime nerds?
This is the answer. It comes with the territory when you have a demographic that is nerdy and terminally online.
This demo has more pros than cons, but I do find myself using the “block community” option liberally.
It seems like there needs to be additional community tags based on subject matter so you can block that tag rather than having to individually block a million communities or having to block an entire instance which you may not want to do.
Lemmy Connect allows you to filter communities and posts on regex, e.g. I filter (hide) communities containing any of the following:
/politics/, /news/, /memes/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/
I use Connect also. How do I go about this? It doesn’t seem to work in the block settings.
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. It was just further down in the settings. Thanks for this info as well, it was really useful. I would have missed this for a long time if you hadn’t pointed it out.
Couldn’t you also switch your feed to “subscribed”
Topic based tags could work, but there’s no way to enforce that community’s will tag things about themselves
You could just use subscribed but as Lemmy is fairly small, if you want new content with anything approaching regularity, searching by all or local is all but essential.
Everyone’s opinions differ for sure but even in fairly popular communities there aren’t that many posts a day, especially when compared to larger, other, less API friendly sites…
Yeah lol. Just view your subbed feed if you don’t want random shit in your feed. I mean we all used Reddit, right?
I can’t imagine that would be very successful consider people already forget to tag NSFW content.
If I recall correctly some furry instances have been defederated by other instances because one or two communities had a problem with that.
Standardization amongst tags could also be a headache where I don’t see a consensus being reached on a federated platform like Lemmy.
Hear hear!
My wife saw me trying to block some big booby anime stuff and assumed I was browsing the community. I’m in my mid 40s guys, it’s not ok.
Also why do they always look ashamed of their boobs? They’re huge! You’d think they’d be proud.
They’re not ashamed, they’re in pain. Big boobs hurt
I’ve been a “Linux nerd” since Red Hat’s Halloween release back in the nineties. I attest that I am not, not have I ever been, a furry nor have I ever been that into anime. That said, I appreciate good Hentai. If done well, it can be an impressive mix of art and erotica. But it’s mostly big tiddy trans furry pegging or giant tiddy tentacle sex posted here. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Why ‘Linux / IT’ guys? Is that really the demographic or the perceived demographic? I would consider myself a Linux / IT guy, but I’m not ever seeing furry things in linux tutorials for example. Just surprised that was the ‘go to’ group you listed as the demographic.
It’s a running joke at this point.
Haha that’s pretty damn funny 😄
Its just a meme. Most Linux guys are just normal dudes.
Perceived vocal minority
Found the closed source fanboy
Dual boot.
Better question is what are you doing to see so much hentai. I have NSFW on, and regularly browse “all” and porn in general remains a very rare occurence.
It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I’ve noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It’s still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don’t click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.
or depending of your instance? Or you still can see post from unfederated instances, I don’t remember, but that wouldnt make much sense
Your instance would only matter if it is small-scale enough that users haven’t subbed to the originating instances, if it has deliberately defederated from them, or if you are browsing by Local instead of All.
My feed is sorted by “hot” by default, whatever that means. I see tons on all. New NSFW communities are created daily and posted to by bots and beggars. The hentai seems a lot rarer than the regular porn.
you got NSFW turned on. It’s hot.
This is the correct answer. I only ever see that sort of content when sorted by hot. If you go by active or top you will basically never see that sort of content. Anyone can upvote easily one-handed. It’s very rare that anyone has much of anything to say about that sort of content or the ability to actually type it one-handed.

hahaha god dammit
Hentai? I never saw those in my feed. Are you sure it’s not the NSFW communities you subscribed to?
Where are all these Hentai you speak of so I can avoid it.
There is hentai on Lemmy?
You’re on Lemmy.ml They censor all porn
I don’t know why you get downvotes for this. This is completely correct. “no porn” is one of their instance rules.
But they don’t block instances that allow porn, so there’s NSFW content coming from them and I am fine with this. No hentai, though (at least not enough to qualify as “so much” to me …)
They might have defederated from the instance that the hentai is from. It’s lemmynsfw.com
Funny, they really did. I remember this particular instance not being defederated some time ago. The rules say “no porn” so it’s understandable, though.
I have no idea. I have NSFW stuff turned off. I’m not on lemmy for porn.
You’re really missing out on all the hentai and furry content! /s
I’m really broken up about that.
I have no idea, can you provide examples for my research?
I actually think I might have NSFW turned off because I’ve never seen a single NSFW post on Lemmy, hmm
It’s a user account setting
Look in my blocked communities list. It’s full of memes, sports teams, and anime/hentai…
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
because for whatever reason that is what YOU tend to see in YOUR feed; why that is so, I do not know, it is not in mine.
Can you tell me where you found it so I can stay away from those places?
There is no concept of personal “algorithmic” feed here unless he subscribed to a bunch of hentai communities. I agree that when browsing on Everything sorted by New, there is a LOT of hentai. That includes AI generated hentai that seems popular here, probably because it is a legal gray zone.
Just sorted All by Active and New. Still no hentai
Keep trying, we need answers here.
“Well I don’t have this problem so nobody should bother trying to solve it”

What a ridiculous answer.
I haven’t seen that much hentai, just regular porn. What communities have you been seeing with hentai? So I can uh stay away from them
Same here
Until we see links to this hentai we are trying to avoid, I’m not even sure it exists.
I’ve not seen any hentai or porn!
Because a lot of people like hentai ¯_( ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)_/¯
You dropped this mate \
You need to use 2 of them as they are also escape characters.Especially nerdy, terminally online types.
Not that that applies to any of us.
Haven’t seen any at all on my end.
Freedom, that’s why. If you don’t like it, block the communities. You have the tools to solve the problem.
Lemmy has been in large part adopted by horny weebs. Just block the communities or set your reader app to filter out nsfw posts.
Or become a connoisseur ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It doesn’t matter how many of these communities I keep blocking and blocking and blocking, the barrage just keeps on coming, it’s relentless, they refuse to stick to one community or even two dozen of them, they have to make what seems like hundreds.
The worst are the horde of not necessarily nsfw celebrity communities. Thankfully it’s all from 1-2 users so you can just block them, but it’s like there’s another new one created every couple seconds.
a cunnyseur 😭😭
It’s the internet, nothing you can do about it
It’s the intetnet. Nothing should be done about it.
where are those hentai subs( ask for a friend btw
deleted by creator
There are NSFW specific Lemmy instances. There’s a chance your home instance is defederated from them.
