NSFW on Lemmy (lemmy.world)

Tldr lower. So there’s (yet again) another flurry of communities that are all crossposting each other’s content with this hentai stuff.

Aside from a lot of this being made with AI, it is in essence soft porn and I don’t want it in /all.

I usually write a comment under such posts saying

Set your comm to NSFW pls

Rarely the mod write “Done” and that’s it. Often it is downvoted, and now it’s also just removed by mod for (I wouldn’t know the reason as it’s on a different instance to mine)

TLDR; I don’t want my all feed to be a soft porn feed, is there anyway of not having these hentai soft porn communities in all, apart from individually blocking them (which doesn’t really work, as they keep making more communities).

To torture a metaphor, right now it's more like driving to McDonald's after having a pretty basic meal two days earlier. I agree that ultimately you're right, but given just how small most developing communities are, it's pretty reasonable to look around to find new things to engage with. If nobody did that I think lemmy might just fizzle out as a network, it's just too small to really support the kind of curated feed we're used to with larger sites like reddit/twitter/insta. The addictive nature of those sites is a good debate for a separate time, but in this case even getting to the level of "please enjoy responsibly" requires quite a bit of searching around.

To continue with tortured metaphors: we can always go to the supermarket and cook our own food. If the content on the communities I'm interested is low, I can go to reddit and repost it here, or I can take a look at one my RSS feeds and see if I can find anything relevant, etc.

Sure but if I wanted to do that, I'd just... doordash... or something...

Okay I think the poor metaphor has had enough (read: I'm too dumb to carry it on). And I agree, but if I was just after new content I'd just go to reddit or my RSS feed and be content with that content. Part of the goal in transitioning to lemmy is to find new sources of content on lemmy, which just requires effort in sifting thru things like /all until you've built up enough to reasonably contribute to / consume / comment on / etc.

I understand, but bootstrapping a whole new network is hard. Lemmy is reporting ~55k monthly active users and to do that it's even counting people who mere vote as an activity. Following the 1/9/90 rule, we should expect ~550 active posters here, which is simply not enough to sustain all the long tail of interests out there.

All I'm saying is that it would be better for everyone if we focused more on the active participation (posting content that is relevant to you and your interests) than a passive "let me play some slot machine and get a dopamine hit" that is browsing /all.

Sure, contributing is better for communities than consuming. No argument there.
