Like am i missing out on big boy talk, gore, news etc that are adult ? Lemmy should seriously get a second filter like one that filters porn and the other that filters the rest if that is the case . Anyway what do you think ? Should news etc. be put behind nsfw ? I know i am straying far off the primary question but i am just talking casually and pulling it out of my ass as i go so thoughts ??

Edit : Is there any issue open in lemmy git for additional filters ??? If not can someone less lazy than me open one ?

Some people use NSFW tags as spoiler tags, so possibly. There's also varying definitions of NSFW (language, news articles that might be upsetting, etc).

Agree, there needs to be more granularity with post tagging.

Best compromise I've found is using a Lemmy UI that will blur NSFW stuff and let you click to reveal it. You can also block porn instances / communities if you don't want to fight through those (browsing /all on many instances is a minefield of porn lol).

Yep but i think blocking instance level is shit as we will miss out on those users comments non porn posts etc.

Nah, I blocked lemmynsfw awhile ago, and I still get comments from them. I've even seen one in this thread.

Nope, it doesn't block user comments. See the linked quote info in other comments on this page
