I just reached 112 myself.

I’m very much awaiting a time when users can block specific instances. I still don’t want to check the option to hide NSFW content, because I do want to see NSFW content that may show up on non-porn communities. Just not really interested in seeing so much porn in All.

You can check on your settings page, btw, in the Blocks tab - count quickly with Ctrl+F.

      I use it as a way to discover new communities. Any recommendations on how you manage your subscription without looking at all from time to time?

        I look them up at lemmyverse.net

        I go there about once a week to see if there are new communities I might be interested in. I’m on a selfhosted single-user instance, so my “all” is identical to my “subscribed” and this is how I populate my feed.

          I’m a little curious: If you unsubscribe from something, does it disappear from your All? Or is it enough that a user in an instance was at some point or another subscribed?

            All is the collection of communities that anyone on your instance is subscribed to. I believe once everyone unsubscribes, new posts are not automatically retrieved.

        It’s tedious, but I found just looking at lists of communities to be more helpful. If something looks interesting, open it up, check it out, and subscribe. Browsing your subscribed communities is an infinitely better experience. Plus, if you’re willing to take the time blocking communities, I feel like that takes just as much time as scrolling through a list of ones for potential matches for your interests.

        Subscribed is for the communities that I want to actively engage with every or close to every post that shows up. All/Home are for browsing popular content that I don’t want in my sub feed (memes, news, other smaller communities, etc)

    Why block them? I like a little spice with my scrolling. Plus it’s a fun mystery box to see what’s under the blur. Straight/gay? Cis/trans? That one guy that literally just posts 100 fully clothed celebs every hour to disappoint you? Who knows.

    That has always been allowed. As long as you don’t want others to censor nsfw, all is good. I like porn. I want more high quality porn on Lemmy. That takes time.

      This isn’t about controlling what others see - I’d just like for users to be able to block entire instances, because blocking 3 more porn communities every time I reload All gets tiring.

      I like porn when I’m in the mood for it. I’ve got an alt on lemmynsfw for that. Though I feel your point about high quality content: The specific stuff I’m interested in hasn’t had a new post in a month. The only thing I still use reddit for, really…

          I would prefer regex blocking, as there are categories of communities that I am not interested in seeing regardless of which instance they are on. It is annoying to have to continually block them because someone setup a new instance and created the same community again.

            I might actually submit a feature request for this. Maybe default to simple wildcard blocks with an “advanced” mode that enables regex matching.

    I just have nsfw as a whole blocked. I have other ways to see porn if I want to and I want to use Lemmy in places where my daughter or my boss won’t walk by and think I’m looking at porn.

    If that’s your thing, go for it, but it is too much of a risk for me with little reward.

        Of course I watch porn. Do you think my wife has to drop her panties on command? There are times I’m feeling the need but she isn’t in the mood. Or isn’t around.

          I was just surprised because jerking off to other women having sex while committed to one seems wrong. I didnt consider you two might have agreed on it. But I don’t agree its either porn or not having sex if your partner isnt around. You can just jerk off without.

            Why is it wrong? You’re not cheating. It’s just fantasy. I haven’t stopped noticing other women who I think are really attractive either. I just don’t try to fuck them. Doesn’t mean I can’t imagine what it might be like.

            Coincidentally, tomorrow will be our 23rd anniversary. You don’t stay married 23 years and never fantasize about what it might be like if your life had been different and you had been with a different woman.

              It’s wrong because most of the time that isn’t something your SO will be ok with. If your wife is ok with it, thats that.

                  I’m surprised you see it as prudish not wanting your SO lusting for and jerking off to other women having sex. Why not attend strip clubs too. Watching some women dance is tamer than watching them have sex.

    Similar amount + even more users.

    I miss “by type” filters. With politics, news, sport and cats/dogs gone, I’d probably have to block only few communities irrelevant to my interests.

    A disclaimer: I love both cats and dogs, but the communities dedicated to either are damn depressing + the photos are usually of shit quality.

      I’ve only blocked a single user: @youtube_feed_bot@lemm.ee. The amount of posts from them on my All page was stupid.

      I’ve considered blocking a few people who cross-post, since it’s annoying to have the same exact post from the same exact user in 2-4 different communities being on my All page at the same time, but haven’t yet.

      Post tags is probably the one feature I’m wishing for the most at the moment, tied with Multireddit style grouping for different frontpages for different topics.

    Oddly enough, none. Kind of like seeing the sheer variety the Internet had to offer (plus those folks have so much confidence it’s almost admirable). And at least it’s not gore-- I’ve seen accidently seen way too many dead bodies mindlessly unblurring pictures on Reddit or foolishly clicking troll links.

    Probably going to change to block nsfw when my little ones are old enough to steal my phone and browse my account, though.

    Almost none. I browse all almost exclusively and have nsfw enabled, but none of the communities really bother me enough to block them. I just scroll past the stuff that I don’t have any interest in, same as sfw content.
