Spam and porn are flooding kbin already (kbin.social)

There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.

EDIT: I personally don't care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don't know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.

I'm seeing a fair amount of adult content in the "Random Posts" and "Random Threads" automatically populated lists in the sidebar, along with explicit imagery visible in the thumbnails. My account has "Hide adult content" enabled but that doesn't do a thing since those people aren't tagging their posts properly. Many also come from outside of Kbin.

This is, weirdly, apparently a federation bug. Lemmy instances (namely lemmynsfw.com) I've found tag their posts appropriately and I've only ever seen a single post that wasn't tagged correctly (and it was very mild might I add), despite browsing all new and all topDay. I suspect kbin isn't pulling the nsfw tag correctly and most posts end up as clear.

Yeah, I was comparing notes with someone from another lemmy based server earlier, and was finding the same thing. Some posts that were marked as nfsw came over as such, but quite a number came over as clear.
