They do.

But, if they used subscribed, they wouldn't be able to fuss about all of the stuff they don't want to see.

Instead, they just want to look at everything. and then block instances (not communities) showing things they don't want to see.

I just wish I could block porn instances. I like porn as much as the next guy, but I don't want it offered to me every time I browse Lemmy.

There is a current PR, which I think has been merged. That being said, next release will likely contain that functionality.

I keep hearing this complaint. At the same time I have literally never seen porn in my Lemmy feed. This is absolutely mysterious to me.

Maybe you've blocked NSFW when registering.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You probably have chosen to hide nsfw content.

I don't necessarily want to hide all nsfw stuff. But if things continue like this, I might have to do so.

I won't let a little thing like jerkin' it to furry porn get in the way of my jerkin' off to bondage porn.

The Connect app has implemented instance blocking, as well as blocking a community without having to visit it.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I'll check it out.

there are more than one app that allows you to block instances.

for example sync can filter*:

  • words
  • communities
  • users
  • instances

*filter is a sync functionality, for communities and user use block if you want to have them blocked outside sync

See the problem is that if they use subscribed, other people might look at things they don't think other people should look at!
