I just reached 112 myself.
I’m very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don’t want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.
You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.
None. But I also never browse All. Never have, on any form of social media.
I use it as a way to discover new communities. Any recommendations on how you manage your subscription without looking at all from time to time?
I look them up at lemmyverse.net
I go there about once a week to see if there are new communities I might be interested in. I’m on a selfhosted single-user instance, so my “all” is identical to my “subscribed” and this is how I populate my feed.
I’m a little curious: If you unsubscribe from something, does it disappear from your All? Or is it enough that a user in an instance was at some point or another subscribed?
All is the collection of communities that anyone on your instance is subscribed to. I believe once everyone unsubscribes, new posts are not automatically retrieved.

It’s tedious, but I found just looking at lists of communities to be more helpful. If something looks interesting, open it up, check it out, and subscribe. Browsing your subscribed communities is an infinitely better experience. Plus, if you’re willing to take the time blocking communities, I feel like that takes just as much time as scrolling through a list of ones for potential matches for your interests.
Will genuinely never understand people that treat home as their personal feed. WTF is subscribed for? 😵💫😮💨
How else will people find a reason to complain about, I CLICKED ALL, AND I SEE A BUNCH OF STUFF I DON’T WANT TO SEE. HOW TO I BAN THE STUFF I DON’T LIKE, INSTEAD OF using the subscribe feature, like a normal person.
Subscribed is for the communities that I want to actively engage with every or close to every post that shows up. All/Home are for browsing popular content that I don’t want in my sub feed (memes, news, other smaller communities, etc)
Why block them? I like a little spice with my scrolling. Plus it’s a fun mystery box to see what’s under the blur. Straight/gay? Cis/trans? That one guy that literally just posts 100 fully clothed celebs every hour to disappoint you? Who knows.

Tell me you don’t have an office job without saying you don’t have an office job.
Boss: “And here I see you’ve accessed something called ‘Lemmy’ 315 times today, what the hell is that?”
@ttmrichter: “Oh, no worries, I blocked all the porn.”
Hi. Friendly reminder to keep personal activity out of work devices.
Until we meet again!
My boss is on Lemmy too. I won’t exactly be surprising him with it.
That has always been allowed. As long as you don’t want others to censor nsfw, all is good. I like porn. I want more high quality porn on Lemmy. That takes time.
This isn’t about controlling what others see - I’d just like for users to be able to block entire instances, because blocking 3 more porn communities every time I reload All gets tiring.
I like porn when I’m in the mood for it. I’ve got an alt on lemmynsfw for that. Though I feel your point about high quality content: The specific stuff I’m interested in hasn’t had a new post in a month. The only thing I still use reddit for, really…
Yea they should have wildcard blocks. ‘*@lemmynsfw.com’
I would prefer regex blocking, as there are categories of communities that I am not interested in seeing regardless of which instance they are on. It is annoying to have to continually block them because someone setup a new instance and created the same community again.
I might actually submit a feature request for this. Maybe default to simple wildcard blocks with an “advanced” mode that enables regex matching.
Yes please!! I’ll review your PR. :)
I guess it’s my app but I can block entire instances or just a single community
Use a lemmynsfw login for porn and block nsfw on your main account.
I am still interested in non-pornographic NSFW content, so that’s too overkill for me.
I have never seen a non nsfw post that wasn’t porn on Lemmy.
I follow cannabis communities and they sometimes mark nsfw. Also, sometimes cat pics get marked nsfw for funny.
so your argument is that sometimes its funny to mis-tag posts? guess we should untag porn posts as a joke then.
They didn’t make that argument. They just pointed out that it DOES happen
They’re definitely rare but they do exist. It’s the principle anyways - because they’ll likely become a lot more common as the site grows.
Also I think you worded that backwards.
That doesn’t stop the porn from getting through.
None? I just stick to stuff I’m subscribed to so it’s not really an issue.
Same. I’m not going to judge anyone for scrolling All, but that’s definitely not a level of chaos I’ve ever wanted to deal with.
I just never turn on NSFW. It’s not what I came here to see.
0, zero, none, nada, niente…
PS: I like boobs
I just have nsfw as a whole blocked. I have other ways to see porn if I want to and I want to use Lemmy in places where my daughter or my boss won’t walk by and think I’m looking at porn.
If that’s your thing, go for it, but it is too much of a risk for me with little reward.
I haven’t seen anything from lemmynsfw, so - zero. Though I don’t spend a lot of time beyond my subscriptions and local feed.
I think lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmynsfw
Oh no! Anyway, I created a separate account there, because I don’t want porn in my regular feed.

A bunch of fetish communities I don’t like, that’s about it.
I just use this usercript to block the whole instance: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
You need to edit line 17Here adapted to work also with MLMYM (https://old.lemmy.world): https://pastebin.com/z0mShfDP
Similar amount + even more users.
I miss “by type” filters. With politics, news, sport and cats/dogs gone, I’d probably have to block only few communities irrelevant to my interests.
A disclaimer: I love both cats and dogs, but the communities dedicated to either are damn depressing + the photos are usually of shit quality.
I’ve only blocked a single user: @youtube_feed_bot@lemm.ee. The amount of posts from them on my All page was stupid.
I’ve considered blocking a few people who cross-post, since it’s annoying to have the same exact post from the same exact user in 2-4 different communities being on my All page at the same time, but haven’t yet.
Do tell me…
I’m not sure what motivates people who come here to practice “gorilla marketing” and do everything in their power to gain popularity and virtual points. It’s like they don’t realize it’s not Facebook or Reddit…
I miss “by type” filters. With politics, news, sport and cats/dogs gone, I’d probably have to block only few communities irrelevant to my interests.
Post tags is probably the one feature I’m wishing for the most at the moment, tied with Multireddit style grouping for different frontpages for different topics.
I went the other way. Made accounts on lemmynsfw and Lemmy.world and then couldn’t log into my lemmyworld for some reason.
I browse all from lemmynsfw, and it’s virtually pornfree.
Lemmynsfw is the biggest reason I’m on here.
Social media for anything else is just toxic, so other than niche things, I get most of my news from news sites now (that way I don’t have to see all the awful comments that just infuriate me).
I just blocked the entire instance. Does that not work in lemmy?
Not yet. Hopefully soon!
Honestly, hearing from you that kbin already lets you do that is kind of tempting me to swap over.
