I guess they haven't discovered the button to block communities?

My feed is quite nice after blocking the stuff that doesn't appeal to me.

    I’d like to block entire servers myself. But I can’t find a way to block the whole nsfw one. Individual communities yes, but I’d like to not see the whole server.

    Just move to an instance that has defederated from major nsfw instances.

    It would be nice if there was a directory that made it clear what server has defederated what.

    Fragmentation and the lack of continuity and good navigation is seriously going to be what kills any chance a federated Reddit alternative has at becoming even 25% as large as Reddit was.

    You can see what an instance has defederated by adding /instances to the URL of the instance. There's no way to see it for more than one instance (at a time) as far as I know, so yeah, have to agree with you.

    Same. Block is a key feature. That said, I’m actually fascinated at how many furry communities there are. You’d think blocking c/furry would take care of 90% of the problem, but who knew c/MidCenturyYiffsOnAnEamesChair had such a dedicated following.

    I want more communism

    Wait... How am I missing out on all this NSFW content? I'm just seeing Linux and Star Trek memes, somebody help me find the titties!

    I'm pretty sure most of it is on the lemmynsfw instance, which some instances have defederated with out of either prudishness or a ridiculous notion that all porn is inherently exploitative. Maybe you're on one of those? 🤷

    Accord to https://status.lemm.ee, lemm.ee is federated with lemmynsfw and I even personally sub to a couple lemmynsfw communities. I also have NSFW enabled and unblurred in settings, and still I never see porn unless I actively seek it out. I want surprise titties, goddamn it!

    Damn, that sucks. Maybe if you use a lemmy client that lets you mark communities as favorites you'll be more likely to have some thrown into your feed now and then?

    I'm using Thunder, which has that. Can't say for sure how effective it is yet, though, as I only found out the day before yesterday and haven't done any measured testing..

    Me who never get porn contents on my feed :()

    Reddit refuge here. I'm super sad to see people trying to turn lemmy into reddit, this is our chance to make it better. Stop filling the new feed with reddit archive bullshit.

    Secondly, I'm fine with the porn. I miss scrolling r/all and getting the surprise boob. Surprise boobs are the best.

    Although I will say the furry community on lemmy is fierce. I've blocked like 40 communities and I'm still getting dog dicks in my feed. How many different communities do you people need?

    Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It's ramping up that way.

    I think it's great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It's good Internetting.

    Reminds me of old school slashdot. A mix of techies, skeptics and libertarians. Luckily, the Demon Haunted World quotes stuck over the Ayn Rand junk. Last time I went on slashdot, it seems the libertarians took over. Never thought I'd see anti vaxxers there.

    No, I've missed the NSFW content. Reddit got rid of all the fun stuff for crypto spam.

    People on lemmy.ml thinking we just really enjoy Mali.

    It's actually been super refreshing to, generally, be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist and not immediately get downvoted into oblivion. There are still some of the kneejerk reactions to the CPC, but even then people seem more willing to engage on good-faith even with disagreements.

    be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist

    CPC

    I think those two things are not the same and quite incompatible. Modern China is a capitalist hellscape, certainly not the communist utopia Marx had in mind. They have one of the highest levels of wealth disparity in the world and the highest number of billionaires, even more than the US.

    I fully believe that Marx would be horrified if he saw modern China.

    Theres is a lot of nuance to that argument. Even Marx agreed that a capital stage is a necessary step on the way to communism. That's the whole dialect part of dialect materialism. Each step of the ladder has to be walked through and past as it becomes obsolete.

    I think he meant that it was necessary when going from a capitalist society to a communist society. China went from a rural society to a communist society to a capitalist society.

    To be honest, nothing against that, it's obvious to me that communism as applied by the USSR or Mao or the Kims does not really work and the people really suffered for that, but if you do believe in the communist tenants, then China and Russia are as far away from that as you can possibly get.
