I’m up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don’t see the point of. I’ve got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

    79 so far. If we could just block instances it would be so much better. OR if we had a distinction between NSFW porn and NSFW non porn. I just don’t want porn in all, but I want to be able to discover new communities. And I don’t want to block all NSFW because I enjoy some content that is marked as NSFW…I just don’t want porn.

      I’m ok with the porn, I just want to avoid the furry shit. Titties? Sure. An anime fox fucking another anime fox? No thanks.

      I would like to see a more finely grained nsfw filter. It could have categories like

      • nudity
      • hardcore porn
      • gore
      • violence

      Uhh that’s all I can think of right now. Sometimes I like porn but I pretty much never want to see gore.

      Yep, I got the same issue with blocking communities. It would be so much simpler to simply block pornlemmy and lemmynsfw than to block the myriad of communities that pop up

        I don’t mind some of the porn. I can just scroll by it when I’m not interested in it.

        I’m sure a user based block instance will show up in Lemmy at some point.

      I had problems in the past where Connect would not populate random certain communities in my subscriptions, making it unusable as an app.

      But I just redownloaded it and it appears to work now so I may play with this a bit more!

      Edit: Wait nope. Now it seems to randomly glitch out often and delete ALL of my subscriptions. Maybe even worse than before…

      I want some stuff from lemmynsfw, just not furry or hentai. There is a yiff instance I wouldn’t mind blocking, but Liftoff doesn’t have instance blocking yet and that’s the app I prefer.

    I’m already blocking one user after roughly one month here.

    He was in so many comment sections posting the same gif of a woman shitting.

    Allowing users to post gifs was a mistake.

      I’d really like a feature to block communities by name match. Something like block all with a name that contains “meme” would be ideal.

    A lot, mostly porn.

    I’m not morally opposed to porn–but like 99.9% is aimed at straight men, or is the Disney-style furry art, and it does NOTHING for me. It’s like being drowned in, I dunno…football communities. It’s boring as shit and I Just. Don’t. Care.

      How are y’all seeing all this porn and furry stuff?

      I don’t see any of it on my /all/ feed. There’s like, some girls and boobs and stuff occasionally, but it’s rare.

        I wonder if it’s instance specific. I can see the porn communities but no posts show up in them for me on my lemmy.one account.

        I know initially porn was blocked lemmy-wide and has only recently started rolling out.

    Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with “Fuck xyz” because those communities are always toxic as hell.

      My own philosophy is that if a community can only be described with negative values it will ultimately be a shitty community.

      Anything that starts with anti- or fuck noun even if I agree with them is a instant block for me.

        Dude I agree so much. Because I’ve fallen for the trap of thinking “oh yeah, I support being against that too, fuck it!”

        But then slowly realize that even if I support being anti whatever, the community itself is just filled with negativity and hate. Justifiable or not, it’s always an emotional drag, so yeah, best to just cut it out of my life, I don’t need it.

          My understanding is that the only “rule” is that if you visit the page, you have to post something. It doesn’t matter what. So the premise is that people are posting something random on their phone, and referring to the only rule in the post title, as if it’s an obligation. “Per the rules, I am posting…” etc.

          I think. I don’t know. I’m in my 30s, so apparently I don’t understand the internet anymore.

    Zero blocks of any sort currently. I mainly use my subscribed feed, and while I do check all periodically, I have pretty tough eyeballs.

    102 so far. It’s mostly porn and the creepy hentai and furry stuff, some of the foreign language communities that get through the filters, and things like different sports, that I’m never going to be interested in.

    As other people have said, I want to be able to browse through All to discover new content, but there’s no point in seeing things that I’m never going to like.

    None so far. At this point you might as well use the “Subscribed” tab. Whitelist instead of blacklisting communities.

      I hope to get to that point soonish, but without a starting set of mostly interesting and inoffensive subs, building a collection of subscribed thingies is slow going. In the meantime, I’m scrolling all and blocking all the communities that seem mostly like a place to be angry.

    What? Why are you blocking communities so much? Just go through the list of communities and subscribe to what appeals you you then just browse subscriptions.

      Not speaking for OP, but I do it because if you block communities they don’t show up when you browse by “all”. That’s my preferred way to find new stuff (even if it’s meme heavy). I like that it’s as easy to hide communities I’m not interested in as it is to subscribe to new communities. It’s a great feature.
