On social platforms in general you can run among some offensive content. How can Lemmy users avoid rule breakers on Lemmy and viewing certain content. Preferably without running into the rule offending comment and then having to block a user.
Is it better for users to view posts at latter dates, or the day the post is out the comments start coming? What can the user do to avoid such content. Are their steps the user can take before a moderator reviews a post such as word filters?
There is no golden rule for this, just like any social media, laws vary in different countries.
You should block all NSFW instances and all NSFW communities on general instances if you are concerned about breaking the law, doing that shows that you are intentionally blocking content that is seen as questionable.
My blocklist is huge, I tend to browse all, and add instances or communities to the list constantly. Most of the stuff is things I find annoying, ourt of sight, out of mind, other times it is hard NSFW and I don’t want to get porn by randomly browsing Lemmy, if that is what I am after I will use a dedicated account.
You can also just subscribe to communities you want to read and only browse those.
