When I'm at work surrounded by customers, I want this on. When I'm on a break or at home I want it off.

It is a lot of clicks to go thru Settings to change it, especially since there is no way to get into Settings if you are currently browsing a community. In that case you need to leave the community entirely just to get back to somewhere with a Settings kog, toggle it, then re-search and re-open the community only to find you've lost your scrolling spot. So overall it's something like 20 taps just to unhide the hidden things.

**The request: **Make this toggle always visible to be toggled in 1 click (2 at most) from any screen containing content (put it by the home button, for example).

Bonus request: Add the ability to reset this toggle to ON after a certain time/event, so if I forget to turn it back on it will do so alone and I don't get fired when a spicy meme or random porn thing scrolls up thru my screen as a customer is looking over my shoulder.

Bonus bonus request: Include that bar at the bottom (that contains Home, Account, etc.) when browsing communities. Ideally it should always be accessible.

I think a lot of people just create a second account, and swapping accounts is only 2 clicks. Might be a solution for you?

Ya that's a good idea if I have to. A toggle at the bottom would be nicer tho. The problem with the second account of course is that my 200+ communities I've blocked will no longer be blocked and I'd have to start over, and then block each community on both accounts over time.

I didn't realize this is a picture post and tried to unlock a NSFW-post clicking on the picture multiple times.

Classic Hank move.

For most people its a one time setting, Hide the NSFW content!... The fact that its 4 clicks away, isn't that difficult for those that want to reverse this setting...is it!

Well since you clearly didn't read my full post, I'm not going to bother clarifying. Have a good day.

[–] fisco@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

I did actually, or I wouldn't have bothered replying, was just saying its not a big deal to get to it quickly as it is...for.most anyway... I also thought that even with Hide enabled, the content still appears, albeit blurred & requiring one click to reveal...maybe that's app dependent..🤷🏻‍♂️

Agreed, would be super useful for me as well.

I don't understand, this setting doesn't stop nsfw from ever appearing, it just hides nsfw posts behind a button you can press to deliberately show the content. Is there a reason why you're unable to just press the button?

[–] wzzzy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's not that I'm unable to press the button. It's that if you have a feed with several NSFW posts, it's annoying to have to keep unhiding them when just sitting at home alone with no one else around. But I don't want to keep it off all the time because I'm often surrounded by people.

Another aspect to this is that it can take a long time to load these large jpeg comic strips, and they don't load until you hit the button to uncover them so you have to wait every time you click one, as opposed to them already being loaded if they are uncovered.

I want this as well, it should be a swipe and a click to turn on the nsfw filter. I can't open the app in public since I'm unsure if I turned the filter on or not
