There should be a kind of “sorting hat” personality test to attract the interest of prospective Lemmy joiners. People who love solarpunk stuff, for example, would easily find their home in slrpnk.net. Set a link to it on sites like join-lemmy.org to make the fediverse more approachable to casuals.
I completely agree on principal.
But also think that the rule of Lemmy is that all algorithms end at porn.
But it’s our porn and has unique surroundings of anime, politics, and Dutch.
Huh? I don’t see any porn, regardless of what sort I choose. Ah, that’s because there’s a checkbox in your settings to let you choose whether to see NSFW posts or not. I guess turning that off works really well.
Turning it on doesn’t work well either. I have enabled NSFW and never see any of it. Yes, I have subbed to everything on lemmnsfw, and none of it shows up in any feed
Weird. Then either our instances are secretly blocking it, not through defederation, or there’s some other mysterious technical reason for it.
Many (most?) instances do block porn. Aside from liability concerns, porn tends to be high bandwidth, meaning high costs to operate. As such, there are a handful of VERY NSFW instances that aren’t well-federated.
Of course, it depends on how you define porn. I see a ton of suggestive (but not outright pornographic) anime when I browse All/New, but very little of actual naked humans.
I totally understand why they would do it. I don’t understand why or how they block the NSFW instances without them appearing in the list of blocked instances.
Not secretly, there is literally a list of blogged instances. There you’ll find nazis or titties Maybe both :)
(I don’t have the link at hand, but giyf)
lemmynsfw appears to be blocked secretly on lemm.ee. It’s not listed under blocked instances there, but I can’t see any posts from lemmynsfw there either. There must be some other mechanism that’s available besides blocking instances in the open.
Mmh ok. Thats too bad. Hoped at least this part of administration is “open”. I fixed the issue by making a second account on the blocked instance. It’s like a used Reddit to. One account for stuff and another for “stuff”
Yeah, that’s how I do it too. Although some instances don’t seem to block it, you would have to find out which, and that may be difficult to find.

And Marge Simpson, don’t forget her!
already said “porn”
I literally just saw a merge sort meme with marge
Yes, I study sort algorithms as well…

I don’t rlly wanna see straight porn (no hate, just not my thing xd) and honestly, I was in a pretty good spot. Then someone told me I was scrolling active instead of hot and OH MY- that’s a lot of porn
You’re sorting by hot, shouldn’t it be only porn? /s
Hey listen, that c++ code do be looking kind of sexy.
All good in the hood.
I live in /All sorted by New.
Many reasons, but I just like… seeing the whole gooey blob and sticking my hand in it.
That’s how I do it too, but after reading your “hand in the blob” comment, perhaps I’ll start wearing gloves.
I have no idea what you are saying but I upvoted because porn
