I had a quick question and thought it might spark some discussion.

I know that Lemmy currently uses the NSFW tag/filter, which is great, but I’ve noticed that it tends to get applied to a wide variety of content—everything from mildly suggestive posts to very graphic material.

This got me wondering: has Lemmy ever considered adding more granular content filters or tags?


For example:

NSFL (Not Safe For Life) for particularly graphic or disturbing content (ie graphic war footage)

Political for sensitive Political Posts

Other potential tags for things like triggering content, or etc.


The goal would be to give users a bit more control over what they see, and help communities categorize content more accurately without overloading the single NSFW tag.

Curious if this has ever been discussed, or if there are plans to expand filtering options in the future.

    We will have community-created post tags in 1.0, but its not possible to filter by these yet.

    Specific content filtering can get incredibly convoluted though, and I’d like to keep it as simple as possible.
