When you open a NSFW post, should it unblur? (lemmy.world)

Let’s say you click on a NSFW post on home tab, a community, etc, should it unblur the post? Currently you have to click the “show nsfw” button. If you open the post, it requires a second click.

I’m thinking about making it so it unblurs when you open the post. The exception would be if someone direct links you to the post. The I will still require you click “show nsfw”.

If you agree it should unblur, then what should happen when you return to home, the community, etc? Should it reapply the blur or remain unblured in the feed of multiple posts?

If a user deliberately clicks a post that is marked NSFW and blurred in their feed, I think the assumption should be that they intend to see it and are doing so with the knowledge that they have made sure their boss isn't around or whatever. It doesn't make sense to me why you would need a second tap/click to actually see the thing that you tapped/clicked. At least, that is the behavior we have in the PieFed UI, clicking into a post or tapping the blurred image unblurs the content.

The rule that we try to stick to is that anywhere that the user is presented a list of posts, the user's blurring settings should be applied. That even applies for a community page for a community that is marked as NSFW as a whole. That is because a community link might look SFW based on the name, but turn out to be NSFW. Community links don't have the NSFW label on them in the web ui, so the user can't always be considered warned that they are about to open up something NSFW.

Anyway, that is just, like, my opinion man...

And that rug really did tie the whole room together.

Nah that all makes sense. I think I’m gonna implement it just like that, but I might add the special case: if someone direct links you to a post, you have to click “show nsfw”.

But maybe that’s overkill

Ah, I can see it in that case. Links from the markdown in comments and post bodies could be unmarked. I could see that case either way.

Perhaps make it a toggleable option? Some people might only use Lemmy/Piefed in environments where viewing NFSW posts is acceptable, while others may want the added safeguard of a blur.

If it has to be one or the other, unbluring is the more straightforward option, though the implementation of a toggleable option would allow the end user to choose for themselves.

Blorp already supports show nsfw with or without blur. Although there were some bugs until the last update causing the PieFed blur nsfw setting to not be respected.

But there is some nuance to how that blur setting gets applied. That’s what I’m trying to figure out here. Currently it blurs nsfw a little more aggressively than other clients. I think I’m gonna relax the blur a little in the next update.

Doesnt lemmy have a setting for this? If so follow lemmy.

Edit: sidenote, i miss lemmynsfw

I’ll look into it, thanks!
