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.
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…
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.
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 😄
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.
Hentai? I never in my feed saw those. Are you sure it’s not the NSFW community you subscribed to?
It’s a lot. I’m not into anime or hentai at all, so I am constantly blocking communities. It seems like just when I get my “home page” how I like it, 16 more new communities popped up lmao.
My experience exactly. It’s absurd.
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
Look in my blocked communities list. It’s full of memes, sports teams, and anime/hentai…
It’s a user account setting
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
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.

It’s the intetnet. Nothing should be done about it.
where are those hentai subs( ask for a friend btw
Freedom, that’s why. If you don’t like it, block the communities. You have the tools to solve the problem.
But where is the yaoi?
You must be browsing All. Stop that.
How else are we supposed to discover new stuff?
For real, browsing all is mostly great. I just block the shit I don’t wanna see ever again.
So where can I find said material so I can investigate this issue? 🤔
Menu -> Block Community
Oh hey I don’t have to be bothered by bad porn anymore.
