Hi. I am new to Lemmy, trying to get rid of Reddit. I am slowly finding my way here, but I still haven't figured out how I can filter all NSFW content out of my feed? I am using Mlem, but maybe I should use something else? Thank you!

In Mlem, go to the Settings tab. Then, tap on the link at the very top of the page with your account name. Then tap "Content & Notifications", and turn off "Show NSFW Content".

That setting will hide all NSFW content that is marked as such by the user who posted it. If you see some NSFW content that is not marked as NSFW, you should report the content so that the moderators can deal with it.

Welcome to Lemmy :)

You can try posting to [email protected] as well, they should be able to help you

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

You have three tools in your instance settings at https://lemmy.world/settings: the Show/Blur NSFW Content options in , and blocking users/communities/instances, setting your feed to only view Subscribed communities and just don't subscribe to any NSFW ones. The first is dependent on posters ticking the box to mark their post as NSFW. If you see a NSFW post that is not marked as such, report it. Admins on their instance should address the matter. The second option isn't NSFW-focused in any way but you're in control of it. You could block instances that are primarily intended for NSFW content, such as lemmynsfw.com, and then block any individual communities on other instances, and lastly if there are specific users who just seem to refuse to stop posting unmarked NSFW content and their instance admins won't do anything about them you block those users.

You probably can't expect to fully pre-emptively block all NSFW content, because someone might post something without marking it correctly. Could be by accident, could be they just don't care. But reporting them gives a chance to fix it rather than blocking an otherwise safe community or user.

Ford flipped the switch which he saw was now marked ‘Mode Execute Ready’ instead of the now old-fashioned ‘Access Standby’ which had so long ago replaced the appallingly stone-age ‘Off’.

Sorry. Like I said, I am very new to this. Sorry for the mistake.
