What has happened to the place today? Everything I’ve blocked in the past has returned and is still not staying blocked today.

    Did your home instance federate with someplace new? Pretty sure that’s what happened to me when I got bombarded by hentai and furry porn a couple weeks ago. It was a veritable tidal wave of shit I had to block.

        That’s what I ended up doing. I really wish there was a flag for sexual content in general that would be easy to omit from the feed. I don’t wanna block entire instances as they might have discussions and content on non-sexual topics that I’d like to participate in.

        The first thing everyone that I’ve recommended Lemmy to sees is massive amounts of porn when they make their accounts. Telling them they need to block instances is a major hurdle as they don’t even know what an instance is when they migrate over.

        Most end up not bothering and going right back to Reddit.

          That really sucks! Next time maybe point them towards piefed, where it actually prompts you to filter out NSFW stuff in account creation. I haven’t seen any porn on my piefed account.
