I’ve been using a 3rd party client to access posts on Lemmy. I loved the experience back when Reddit allowed 3rd party apps. But I felt the feed was a bit…one sided.

I figured it was just because I was new to Lemmy, but then I sorted posts by New.

Nothing but trans anime porn. It’s like the only people that came to Lemmy were the people that got kicked out of Reddit circles because all they could think about was trans anime porn.

Maybe I signed up on the wrong instance? But I don’t think that’s the problem.

How are so many people trying to treat Lemmy as a balanced alternative to Reddit?

What the fuck?!

    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.

    I have yet to see any anime porn. True story. I don’t seek it out, so there could be that. I also hate memes, believe it or not. They like…fuck with my brain. So I try to stay away from them. PieFed is best for this kind of stuff. I made an account just to try to filter out more. Maybe check it out? Reddit sucks shit, by the by. So you know, I think in this situation having nothing might be better than having to be on either a) Reddit or b) Seeing a bunch of stuff you don’t want.

    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.

    Mine isn’t that way at all. My feed is always set to “All”, and it’s a diverse range of discussions.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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
