What are they subscribing to? I've not seen anything like that, just old memes revived, beans, and some great content.
The only nsfw thing ive seen on lemmy was on lemmynsfw, afaik you can't see nsfw without being a part of that instance. Not sure what people are complaining about
If you browse the all feed you can see nsfw posts as long as your instance is federated with the nsfw ones. That's if you have nsfw enabled on your account though, which you can turn off.
I would assume sh.itjust.works isn't with them then, because i literally have never once seen naything nsfw on c/all
I just checked and y'all only have 4 blocked instances and lemmynsfw isn't one of them. You may just have NSFW turned off in your account settings.
It's definitely there. Sorting by Hot a lemmynsfw post is the 12th or so post on All right now.
I sort by Top Day though and basically never run into NSFW posts in the wild.
There doesn't appear to be much on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world (or at least it isn't popular enough to show up in the Active, Hot, or Top feed), but if you select "All" instead of "Subscribed" or "Local," stuff from instances like lemmynsfw.com etc. will start showing up.
Ah, my reddit rule of never selecting ALL is what saves me then.
Yeah, I tended to stay away on Reddit, too. I find myself selecting it often here, though, because there isn't enough content yet for Local and Subscribed to show new posts often enough.
I usually hover between c/news and c/politics which has a lot of content. Once football season gets going I'll be on c/nfl and c/cfb a lot too. The pet themed communities are also thriving so that is there too. What communities are lacking quality content? My RSS engine pulls in a few thousand items an hour, I might be able to contribute.
I'm subscribed to 50+ communities, so I won't list them all here. A lot of my interests are relatively niche (stuff like Linux/FOSS, DIY, bicycling/urbanism, etc.) so it isn't that surprising that some of the related communities seem to be averaging between a post a week and a post a day so far, since Lemmy as a whole isn't all that big yet. (It could also be that I haven't found the most popular community for a given topic yet, especially if it's on a different Lemmy instance.)
My subscribed feed being overly dominated by c/politics, c/world and c/technology (the communities I'm subscribed to that do have lots of content) might be part of the problem too.
You wouldn't happen to have a Pastbin or Gist or something about it, would you? I'm curious about how to set up a similar thing for myself.
I use Feedly on my phone and NewsFlow on my desktop which I use to view reddit and lemmy.
