How is a fediverse user supposed to find communities? I can’t find a way to search across the fediverse, which pretty much kills the concept IMO. I was browsing All via Lemmy.world - Mlem - iOS and my feed is half anime porn, with some pictures depicting underage and others not blurred as NSFW.

Am I going about the fediverse all wrong? How do y’all deal with this? Right now the fediverse seems like a glitchy, overcomplicated 4chan.

      Is nsfw specifically for porn or is it like Reddit where it was used for anything anyone might find offensive or inappropriate anywhere? I hesitate to block all nsfw content on the fediverse for fear of missing legitimate content.

        From what I’ve seen NSFW tags are implemented similarly to reddit, however from browsing all and not having NSFW blocked the majority of the posts are porn/nudity.

        I’ve been blocking NSFW communities that I don’t want to see while browsing all which has been working fairly well.

        I like how the app Jerboa can handle NSFW, I have it set to show the post, but blur the image, which makes it easier to decide if it is something I want to look at or not.

            There were a few times on r/stablediffusion where I clicked on something nsfw expecting nudity or something, and was instead greeted by extremely gory eldritch abominations.

            Having separate tags for boobs vs nsfl would indeed be nice

              Like a subcategory for NSFW - nudity, extreme violence, porn, death (aka NSFL), etc.

                Preferable all of the above. It’s not because I’m looking at anime boobs that I want to find myself looking at something like goro (if you don’t know what that is already, you probably won’t want to look it up).

                  So… my curiosity got the best of me and I googled “goro” and it pulled up Mortal Kombat and I feel like I might have dodge a bullet thanks to the recent game release and opted to not dig any further. Also, anyone remember the heyday of r/spacedicks?

                    Damn straight I remember spacedicks. Who was the lord of spacedicks? The guy from Prince of Bellaire. And you had to comment in caps the word removed. Crazy subreddit

                    You absolutely dodged a bullet. It’s one of those things I suggest people never find out about. Only reason I know about it is because of a certain good hentai site (good for quantity) with bad filters (see: none) and I didn’t realise until it was too late.

                    Never heard of r/spacedicks but with the context of how you brought it up, I don’t think I want to know 😂

          I guess my instance doesn’t federate because browsing all I don’t see anything nsfw. NSFW is on though.

        Yes, you’re right. I personally leave NSFW toggled on and go ahead to manually block every single community I don’t want to see.

            It depends on the client your using, but most the time you need to fill to the communities page then block it there

            Visit the community on the web interface and click on the red button:

            Most mobile clients work the same. There’s usually a context menu within the community that you can pop up and where you’ll find that option.
