I just reached 112 myself.

I'm very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don't want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.

You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.

The first few days I blocked them when I saw them. Now I never see them. So simple. Guess maybe 40-60 of them. Two clicks on the app I use.

That's the joy of connect on android lol. Instance blocking isn't perfect, it can miss posts here and there, but it isn't often.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 3 points 1 year ago

All of them. I'm browsing /all simply to block more, so that they won't accidentally show in my feed.

[–] Ilikepornaddict@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

I use the connect app, so I just blocked the instance. Even though it's the one I'm currently logged into lol.

Maybe a new and separate nsfw filter for porn.

I don't really block unless it just becomes overwhelming on the TL with spam or weird comments; but my instance isn't federated anymore, anyway (though I'm not entirely sure how the whole concept works because I can still see the two I'm subscribed to fine - maybe it just won't actively show up on the timeline but you can still enter the community by typing it in??)

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

As far as my understanding goes, you can still see all content from lemmynsfw that predates the defederation, but you won't see any new content posted to it.

Dont know but most of them are either unknown languages, politics circlejerking and virtuesignaling, or porn

[–] zpm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm blocking some bots and a bunch of porn. I didn't block porn on Reddit, just scrolled past the few posts but with less content there is more porn in my way. I'm not worried about it being there in general I guess.

[–] cloud_punk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None. When you make a profile it asks if you are interested in nsfw and I just left it unchecked. I'm not sure if that's the difference but I remembered getting flooded early on with porn until I unchecked that box in my profile.

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The lemmynsfw.com content is always properly marked as nsfw, so that's definitely the difference. Only downside is you may be missing out on non-pornographic nsfw content, which is honestly not that common yet.

I know the connect app allows instance level blocking, but i don't think thunder or jerboa do yet. I've also heard that there is a request for the lemmy devs to add that as a feature, so it nay happen in the near future.

[–] Fitik@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I use kbin so I just have NSFW switched to off (by default and I haven't changed that) and I haven't seen a single one

[–] Silviecat44@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

None. I blocked nafw and have a seperate account for that

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

My instance just defederated them all together.

[–] supercheesecake@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Could you please share your list so I too can block these disgusting instances?

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Blocked a few dozen, subscribed to maybe half a dozen. It got a lot easier once I figured out the app lets me block communities without having to open the community page.

[–] Negatively_Positive@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never even see anything nsfw myself both on kbin and lemmy. How far do people scroll when browsing?

I think we need some sort of whitelist instead of a blacklist, it would probably be easier to mantain
