A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
Voyager has a “Hide all NSFW” option
He asked about Mastodon, and Voyager is a Lemmy/Piefed client. Unless I’m mistaken, it doesn’t do Mastodon.
But people post this kind of shit without marking it NSFW.
That's a moderation issue, not a technical problem. Unless you want the tech determining what is NSFW, good luck with that.
Definitely report it.
Find out who is posting NSFW posts and unollow them.
If someone is boosting NSFW posts you can always turn off boosts for that person.
Otherwise you will see the blurred post unless there is a browser extension or something that can hide them.
It's that moe guy.
Provided they don't post NSFW, make your home page only show the communities you're subscribed to? Sorry if I misunderstood your question, but that's what I do and I can't remember seeing that much NSFW, if any.
Can you filter keywords to block very specific things you don't want to see? If a post matches those words you can make it so that post won't show up at all.
Issue is of false triggers, you won't be able to see what got missed. Examples: mastodon would filter out someone's post about someone being a dick to the cashier at the grocery store if the keyword is 'dick', and plenty of false triggers for 'fuck'. So filter out words like 'penis' and 'sex' instead.
the default android apps lets you block tags. I had problems with Irrelevent NSFW being tagged with some tags I follow, but blocking #boobs fixes most tbh.
Depending on how the html is structured, you might be able to use adblock or tamper monkey to filter it out (in a browser. Apps are less supportive of this)
There is no such thing as NSFW on mastodon. The clients will usually hide the content behind the subject text to make sure the user reads it, if that's what you're referring to.
