Is there a way to either hide NSFW or block a specific instance? (lemmy.world)

I keep seeing lemmynsfw in my feed and I don't want to. I couldn't find the button in the settings.

Also, the community icon on NSFW is not censored so I often see undesirable things on my feed if you know what I'm saying.

Hey all. I'm not gonna be one of those mods that bans people that downvote, but it's not welcoming to downvote someone who's new to Lemmy and just getting their bearings. In product development, it's generally good to assume if the user is confused, then you could be doing a better job with the UI/UX or educating users.

That being said, I do think it's helpful if you weigh in when you disagree with feature requests, so I think downvotes make sense there. I also think writing a comment is 10x more helpful than just downvoting. Please feel free to express your opinions, but also try and be welcoming to all users.

I've been thinking bout writing a FAQ for Blorp, and I think explaining NSFW would be a good way to start.

If you see people downvoting systematically without contributing, feel free to ban them.

I think the other comments had some helpful options. Blorp is missing block instance, but I can add that. I thought we were handling NSFW correctly, but I think there is instance NSFW, community NSFW, and post NSFW. Then to complicate things, PieFed also supports marking posts as NSFW via post flair. It's possible we aren't filtering out NSFW somewhere that we should be.

That being said, I personally don't see any NSFW content on .world, so I'm surprised you are. Do you have NSFW toggled on in your Lemmy settings (https://lemmy.world/settings)? Currently NSFW has to be toggled via the official Lemmy UI. I may add that setting to Blorp at some point (iOS specifically won't allow it).

Excuse my rambling. Let me know if that makes sense or if you're still confused/think there is a bug.

I didn't know you had to change the setting there instead of inside the app, I have now disabled NSFW. Thanks.

Yeah. Apple will reject your app if you have a NSFW toggle. It’s kinda weird, because Apple seems to only enforce the rules if they notice you break them. There are likely other iOS apps that have a NSFW toggle which they haven’t noticed (e.g. Voyager).

If your app includes user-generated content from a web-based service, it may display incidental mature “NSFW” content, provided that the content is hidden by default and only displayed when the user turns it on via your website.

App Review Guidelines, Section 1.2

However, there’s no reason Blorp can’t show this toggled when installed outside the App Store.

You want to navigate to the actual instance itself, then there will be a three dot options menu on the top right to block community. I do this plenty for nsfw instances.

Or click the three dots underneath the post and select block then the option that blocks the instance (third one) I believe

There really does need to be a difference between nsfw (nudity / lewdness) and nsfl (gore or vileness), because right now if I block the one I can't see the other, when I really want to block the one and not the other.

There is an option, op, for blocking all nsfw. In your settings, right beneath the languages, there's 'theme,' 'type,' and 'sort type,' and then right beneath those is the little button that can be checked/unchecked for 'show nsfw content.'

Piefed has NSFW and NSFL
