Unfortunately you have to either hide all NSFW content or block each porn community one by one. I just opted to hide all of it until Lemmy adds a way to block entire instances. There is barely any NSFW content that isn't porn, anyways.

No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I think hiding entire instances are available via certain apps
celebs community at lemmynsfw.com is, IMO, not NSFW. But marked as NSFW.
It doesn't catch everything, but if you use uBlock Origin you can add your own filters to block large swathes of it. Unfortunately, still doesn't affect one's ability to recommend lemmy.world.

Same here, I started with lemmy.ml and that was nice (as lemmynsfw.com was defederated). But their random slur filter was too annoying, especially when the rest of the fediverse sees the actual words.
So I switched to lemmy.world, but I probably already have 50+ NSFW communities in my block filter and they keep coming :(
I haven't seen any nsfw yet, and I'm on .world via Snyc as well.
I'll probably make a diff account to join the nsfw instance (if I'm understanding how this works)
Not while browsing on "All", but this is easily remedied by maintaining a subscription list and browsing on "Subscribed". Typically, porn is limited to specific communities which can just be not added to your subscription list.
Y’all are complaining about porn in your feeds but mine has hardly anything except for the fury stuff :-/
You're on lemmy.ml, which defederated from lemmynsfw.com (where most of the porn comes from). I was on lemmy.ml too, which was nice, but their slur filter is annoying as fuck. For example if I type 'bitch' you'll not see it, you'll see 'removed' on lemmy.ml (while the entire rest of the fediverse sees the original word). If you want to see the word, follow the lemmy.world instance link (rainbow icon).
Random censorship annoyed me so much, I switched to lemmy.world. But now 'All' is flooded by porn communities I have to block :-/
wait I thought I was on lemmy.world wtf
You are on lemmy.world, the person I responded to is on lemmy.ml.
Today I learned, thanks
Well, OP is from lemmy.world, where there are tens of thousands of people connecting the instance to the various porn communities, so of course there's a lot in the All feed. Over at lemmy.ninja, we have hardly any. Our paltry 150 users must not be that in to the pr0n.
Your instance is defederated from the major porn instance iirc
yeah me too
I like that I can keep the content hidden until I click it, but I don't actually know how to get it to show up
This annoys me also because using the "all" feed is also the best way to find new communities to subscribe to. But watching the "all feed" on any public transportation is just very risky :-)
Yea.
All isn't your personal feed.
Use "subscribed" and subscribe to stuff you want to see.
But I love to browse Everything any day to find new instances I haven't heard of yet or which are fairly new. I can understand that person's interest.
Using Sync, which just released, you can filter instances you don't wanna see. I did the same with lemmynsfw lol
why not have a SFW account and a NSFW account?
I assume it’s the same for OP but I don’t want to block all nsfw posts. There is a difference between porn and graphic videos and pictures(most of them not being really that graphic).
I would like to know this for KBin as well.
Just create an account on any instance that block lemmynsfw, which is the source of most porns on Lemmy.
Are you asking for a difference between NSFW and NSFL?
Lemmy should add something that differentiates porn from other nsfw types of content.
Same with nsfl stuff to be honest.
I feel like there's three types of nsfw content that people either want to see or want to hide all of: porn, gore, other (eg drugs).
Having one tag/flair to cover them all was always a mistake for social media.
Agreed but I'd also add "sexual content" as something distinct from "porn", potentially content that is less graphic, could be questions about sex or genitals, or discussions about sex, but still not appropriate for many environments. I get that you can split hairs about this kind of stuff forever, but when it comes to non-pornographic sexual content I think it's prolific enough that it deserves its own category separate from "other" that people would want to allow or block specifically.
Not really. The default experience for a new user would typically be to hide NSFW posts and therefore all porn, so they wouldn't see the content you're talking about.
Lemmy has quite a naïve interpretation of NSFW, essentially equating it to porn, and not catering to anything that isn't.
If you tick 'show NSFW', then you can use browser scripts or certain apps to block instances like lemmynsfw.com (mostly porn , but not every community is porn), but then you'd also have to individually block porn communities on instances that mostly aren't porn.
Consider joining an instance that defederates with porn instances or you'll let the femboys win
You can block an instance, we'll I can in the connect app. That will take care of the main set of seeing naughties...
