      In my experience you only see it if you have nsfw stuff turned on and you have nsfw unhidden and you browse stuff by new (this is coming from a furry on a furry instance). The furry complaints are overblown imo, lemmynsfw is way worse; stuff doesn’t always get tagged as nsfw there.

        I blocked like 3 magazines, and 99% of the furry stuff on my ‘new’ feed immediately dried up. Mostly just a few places being very active, it would seem.

          Yup you just gotta block them, that’s the animal control of Lemmy, lol. (No offense furries)

            Yeah, that’s why I don’t understand the complaints. You’re on the Lemmy equivalent of /r/all, of course you’re gonna get furry stuff. Just block them. No one’s gonna be upset by it. Only thing that’d make people upset is if instance blocking was added and blocking an instance also blocked all the users on it.

            That said I do kinda wish I could block lemmynsfw as a whole

      I don’t think I have really come across any and I browser All with NSFW enabled.

      I mean, I see a lot of furries in my local feed, but it doesn’t take a sherlock to see why. In all feed though, even with this account, I could hardly see any furry posts, although very occasionally they show up.

      I had to block five to ten-ish furry or similar communities and I’ve since seen nothing furry related on my feed. So it’s not like it’s a huge problem, but it does certainly affect people’s first impression of the platform.

      Maybe it’s lemm.ee? Not a furry but in all while sorting by new, I get a large quantity of furry porn, along with other porn. I’ll admit I’m blocking every porn community until I can just block instances, so maybe that shows more, but it’s been like this the entire time

      I have not seen any furry stuff yet, except the odd lemmy-flooded-by-furry meme. NSFW enabled.

      If you allow any NSFW content (like Ukraine feeds) it comes through, and there are like 40+ Yiff communities. I spent the weekend after I joined blocking them.

      The only others that are as bad are Baseball, Soccer, and F1. I am working on blocking all of them as well.

    My fursona is a homo sapien. Am I doing this right?

    (This joke isn’t meant to denigrate furries at all, rather it is a joke pointing out that humans are animals, too. That’s all)

      Don’t worry, I got the joke even before your edit.

      Now then:

      Pushes glasses up snout ACKTHUALLY while humans might technically be animals, the furry community revolves around animals that possess unnaturally human characteristics, or to put it another way, animals with anthropomorphic features. Because human characteristics are natural to humans, they aren’t really part of the furry community.

      That said, most furries will accept you anyway so long as you aren’t disrupting the vibe. Hell, some people have 'sonas which aren’t based on animals at all, but instead based on planes, trains, etc. There was a meme that went around furry Twitter recently where artists were turning trains into “synth” dragons or similar creatures.

    Femboys and furries and small or huge titties. If you can silence all 40 of each Iof those communities, Lemmy is usable.

    No weiners. No anime. No hairy minges. No extreme titties. Is that so much to ask for?

      Or you can browse following and see only what you are following, you know? Like how reddit does it

        That would be fine if there was a way to meaningfully populate your subscribed list on sign up, but there isn’t. You gotta go out and see what exists, and shit is weird.

          The most annoying part of Lemmy is when there are multiple communities with the same focus on different instances. The result is that you end up with duplicate posts when someone posts something to multiple communities.

          This might already exist, but it’d be nice if there was an option (maybe clientside?) to “merge” communities or posts when they feature the same url and/or text with a visual marker showing which communities comments are coming from.

          I also think that it’d help if instances had the ability to set up default community lists for local communities on sign up. Again, that might already exist and just doesn’t get used, but it’d help get people off “all” and fix a lot of the porn complaints.

      Since my instance doesn’t allow porn, I have never seen weird/naughty stuff in my feed 🤷‍♂️

    NSFW stuff is generally fine with me, that can mean a lot of things. Luckily I haven’t seen a ton of furry shit on my Lemmy feed, (primarily use jerboa, so maybe that has an effect?) But on Mastodon I have to block so many people that appear on my feed. I just don’t wanna see your kink shit people, please.

      are you using the federated timeline or did you set up shop on a furry instance? in most cases federated ends up being a trashfire and you should either use local and/or follow specific hashtags.

      you can also mute words, so a carefully crafted set of word mutes would help you quite a bit. and the best of all, this is encouraged! nobody will blame you if you decide to filter out anything you don’t want to see.

        Using the mstdn instance. I follow hashtags such as “gaming” and “art” and that usually is where it comes from.

    All the furry shit really turned me off in the beginning, I’m glad that all the new content watered it down a little. It used to be like every other post was some furry shit. I respect just about everyone, except for furries. Those guys are fucking gross.

    Unfortunately, I’m not sure who the original artist for the picture is. It’s been sitting on my phone for years now, waiting for a chance to be used.

    Lemmy does have an issue with NSFW stuff showing up in various sorting modes. I can’t say any of it bothers me in particular but it’s going to be a detriment to Lemmy’s growth with the public at large if it isn’t changed. I think the easiest fix is to exclude NSFW communities from appearing unless a user is subscribed to them.

      Or maybe do a Reddit and make an NSFW-free version of all? It’s definitely not because I want to or anything but I’ve found most of my subscribed NSFW communities through the all feed so far.
