MODERATORS
OP’s comment history is full of antagonism and bad takes. So many of their comments have exclamation points!!!!!!!!! I have a feeling they’re a bit lost on things and/or they don’t want to admit to the means by which they are seeing this content that they claim to be repulsed by. Blocking is free, and I suggest doing to major sources of bad vibes.
Have your main account set to filter out NSFW to avoid that content. Also, there is absolutely no shortage of that content on reddit lmao. At least when I was there anyway.
It's been months since I blocked all the individual instances that post things like that, I never see it. But yeah not surprised it's still there. Lemmy blocklists should be a thing, would make the new user experience much more endurable. Last I checked I have over 800 communities blocked and dont miss any of them.
Curious to see your list of blocked instances (and if you remember why for each one).
I've only blocked a couple, but I've seriously thought about many more.
Took me a while as I'm doing this on a phone but here are my blocked instances with reasons, and for your enjoyment, all my blocked communities (there are considerably fewer than 800 though)
Mostly I block things I have little interest in, foreign languages, nsfw, anime, bands, video games, religions, subcultures I'm not a part of. I generally don't have any ill will toward them but have no need to see their posts. Some of these I've blocked after browsing c/all and seen one post. This blocklist has made c/all pleasantly readable for me. I've also got a few dozen users blocked but I'll I'll keep that list to myself.

You must be using the All Trans Anime Porn All the Time app.
I just use Firefox for Android and sort by New by default and I don't recall seeing any trans anime porn. Ever.

I make liberal use if the Lemmy feature of blocking users/communities/instances.
I noticed the same thing as you—so much kinky shit when browsing All. I mostly don’t care what gets people off but I don’t need to see it in my feed. Eventually, I found that it was easiest to block entire instances where that stuff is prevalent. It’s not like you’ll miss anything important.
Same with communities and users. If I know a community isn’t going to interest me, I block it from All. If a user bothers me enough that I recognize the name, I block them.
It’s just better this way. You’re not missing much by blocking. Your time and attention is better spent on the things that matter to you.
Does lemmy have a block limit? Reddit does. I hit it.
Honestly, it's kind of obnoxious that you're inundated with porn by default in "all". I mean, it's fine if people are into that, but it's not necessarily what every user wants to deal with blocking when the are a new user. Some might just erroneously assume the whole platform is just a porn site and leave if that isn't what they want. I have blocked a shitton of porn communities because I'm not interested in that, but there are a hell of a lot of them. I'm glad instance blocking became a thing because prior to that I had a zillion communities blocked.
Would just nice for the default to be different is all. I get why some people are immediately super turned off by using Lemmy because of stuff like that.
Again, I'm not trying to say porn is necessarily bad, but it's a bit jarring when that's not what you came here for and when it's not what the platform is "advertised" as. It's like if Grandma tries to join Facebook to stay connected to people but when she first logs in there's just porn all over her feed. Obviously that doesn't happen there. I'm just trying to paint a picture.
OP's "karma"/reputation score, visible from Mbin instances, is at -1435. I think it's safe to assume that OP does not intend to be taken seriously.
I've thought about blocking the instance you're on. Lots of garbage from that instance.
Mine isn’t that way at all. My feed is always set to “All”, and it’s a diverse range of discussions.
Mfw I'm finding out that the gay furry instance that is my home instance has less porn than ops instance
Have you tried not subscribing to those communities?
The main difference with Reddit is Reddit excludes all NSFW and quarantined subs from the all feed, Lemmy doesn't. So if your instance federates with porn instances yeah, the all feed is gonna suck.
It's easy to filter out
Half of reddit is either porn, RWNJs, or both
My home feed is "all", sorted by "hot"(weird i know but its a good way to find communities to sub to). I dont usually see nsfw, but I have seen some trans memes, sfw yuri and a instance dedicated to middrift which is kind of nsfw but has no parts showing. If i dont like what im seeing i just block the instance. But it hasnt happened alot. Mostly just news articles and current events though.
Your feed is what you click on OP….
I'd imagine the typical Lemmy user to be an American college/university student. I haven't personally noticed any trans leaning in the content here but anime/hentai definitely is disporpotionately represented.
A lot of Germans and Russians here
Not my experience either, but then I don't go looking for sub par stuff when there's plenty of good around and I choose my 3rd party apps wisely.
Try a different instance.
I'm on slrpnk.net and it's all radical environmentalists.
Come for !memes@slrpnk.net, stay for !climate@slrpnk.net.
It's heavily dependent on your instance. It kinda sucks to be honest sometimes.
All I can suggest is making liberal use of the block community function.
Why the down votes on this lol
Because I'm kinda infamous here, I'm one of like 3 conservatives here and I have a habit of browsing /all.
People like to downvote everything I say, I wouldn't be surprised if it's botted at this point
I'll be completely honest, i have read a decent number of people say they have the same issue with Lemmy, tons and tons of porn.
My experience has been vastly different. I occasionally have some nudes posts pop up but only about once a month at most. It very rarely is more than top less and is never hard-core or kinky.
I don't know what I did to seemingly make my experience this way.
