Longtime Lemmy Users: aside from sheer size, do you feel like the site has changed since the influx of reddit refugees, and if so, how? (lemmy.world)

I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it's much more diverse.

Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it's on the roadmap.

[-] sethw@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

hmm, does kbin not get the porn? how annoying

[-] Turkey_Titty_city@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

i'm on kbin and never have seen porn.

[-] brcl@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

You may have the option unselected, therefore blocking all NSFW posts. I do this on both Lemmy and kbin as I don’t want to browse for content and come across porn on my screen

On my main account…

[-] pgetsos@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I don't, and still don't see any porn tbh. Is it just lemmynsfw communities?

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, most instances are SFW content only, so the porn is mostly on a few specific instances which may or may not be federated with yours. I’ve come across 3 different instances with communities I need to block for being porn : / even with nsfw hidden on mine I still see the blurred posts and that’s not really much better.. especially having to go into the community to block it..

I’d like to block the whole instances, especially after coming across a post asking where non-consensual stuff can be posted…

[-] pgetsos@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

But lemmynsfw is federated with kbin.social. Still no NSFW posts

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

You can easily filter it and block users/communities/sites.

But you can get it if you want.

[-] Hextic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Jerboa can block NSFW.

[-] techLover@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I actually hasn't see any porn when from the browser... Only when I decided to download an mobile app I got flooded by a lot of NSFW... I wonder why... Maybe the lemmy.world itself doesn't have much porn, but what is "hot" and "active" in other instances it is? That explains why going directly in to https://lemmy.world/ they doesn't show up.

[-] teolan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I think NSFW content is fully hidden by default, but then it depends on your app/account config.

I don't want to fully block it because some NSFW is not porn and is worth seeing.

[-] 1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I'm on lemm.ee. I think I've seen 1 nsfw post. Under configuration there's a checkbox to not see nsfw content. I checked my alt account. The same checkbox is on lemmy.world

[-] krayj@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Do you normally browse all? I just browse subscribed - and this isn't a problem for me. "All" is a measure of what's popular, and porn is popular.

[-] teolan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah but right now I want to discover the new communities.

[-] 6mementomori@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

can't see any porn here on lemmy.world

[-] teolan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You might have disabled NSFW. But I don't want to fully disable it as there are some NSFW posts that may not be porn which may be worth seeing.

[-] really@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

How do you disable it? I have tried on in the settings but doesn’t seem to work. It just blurs it.

[-] AngrilyEatingMuffins@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

you can block instances with kbin
