Edit: it's "gore/gross" not NSFL
Piefed has NSFW and NSFL
You might consider migrating the community from Lemmy to a Piefed instance to be able to use that feature
Respectfully, I don't think that this answers the question.
OP has the issue that people are not seeing NSFW posts as most users block NSFW
Piefed allows to distinguish between NSFW and "gore/gross"
At this stage, there are three options
So are you proposing that OP marks such posts as NSFL instead? Do posts marked as NSFL get more engagement than posts marked NSFW? You could be correct, but I don't think that it's obvious from your comment how your suggestion solves the issue.
Right, I think the NSFL tag indicates something more extreme than NSFW, so if someone is blocking the latter, they're most likely blocking the former.
That's what I thought too, but I could be wrong.
I don't think you're wrong and feel that your comments have been entirely reasonable and appropriate to the topic at hand.
I've seen people ok with gore but not porn
Those people are weird, and unless the NSFW and NSFL tags can both be applied to the same post at the same time, this solution ignores the significant overlap that can happen between them (i.e., a lot of NSFL is also NSFW and vice-versa). I still think that the vast majority of people who filter out NSFW will also filter out NSFL.
Thanks, good to know that they can both be applied and that "NSFL" is labeled as gore/gross.
I still don't think that doing this would really address the OP's issue because the other thing to consider is that even though this tag option is available in Piefed, I expect that it would have absolutely no effect on Lemmy instances, which are the majority of the Threadiverse.
It's not the first time a similar issue is raised, which is why Piefed implemented that feature.
Same for crossposts comments consolidation, user and posts flairs, keyword filters...
Those issues get raised regularly, the current solution is to use Piefed to solve them.
Cool, thanks. I hope that Lemmy eventually implements that tag too and makes it interoperable with the Piefed one, because as it is currently, this solution would only be a solution for users seeing the post from Piefed itself and wouldn't address the majority of users.
Lemmy's development compared to Piefed is quite slow. Piefed reached feature parity with Lemmy only one year and a half after starting, and now it has a lot more features.
Feature fragmentation happens all the time, Mastodon didn't have quote replies for a very long time, most of the Misskey forks had it.
People who want to use those features move to the platform which supports them.
Every time someone posts that a feature from Lemmy is missing while it exists in Piefed, people are going to tell that person to migrate to Piefed.
And it's okay, quite a few people probably don't need a "gore" filter or personal feeds. But for the ones who do, the option is there.
Fair enough, thanks.
There's only one way to find out, and that's by giving NSFL a try
Fair enough, but it would make sense to include a "this may or may not help" when suggesting something that requires setting up a new account like this would.
I thought that "might consider" conveyed the same idea
I can't speak for anyone else, but to me that seemed to imply that you were suggesting it as a solution that might be worth trying, not as something worth trying that might be a solution. Language is tricky.
It's Friday evening on my side, I'm not going to get into a semantics debate about a two sentences comment.
Hopefully this can still be useful to OP, and the later comments will clarify.
👍
Thank you! That is a nice feature, though I think my issue is more that I find it on the border of NSFW, not really close to NSFL. So don't know if that will quite be what I need
If you think it's bordering NSFW, then just don't tag it as such.
You'll see soon if people complain.
