I seriously. I’m for realiously. I got like 8 different furry subs in my block list and filtered out terms like ‘yiff’ etc. You’d think the algorithm would have picked up that I’m not interested in that shit but I still can’t scroll a half hour without a wolf boner adorning my screen.

I know I can simply block all NSFW content but that’d just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

    How do you get all the furry porn? I’ve been here for two years and barely see any.

    Because IT people run Lemmy, and IT people are surprisingly often furries.

    Also there is no “algorithm” in the way people usually mean it. For better or worse, there is just a few basic ways of sorting your feed.

    Finally, in my entire 3 years on here, I’ve never seen any NSFW furry stuff. Now, I rarely ever use the global feed, and my instance isn’t a general purpose mega-instance, so that probably plays a large part in it.

    I got it all blocked and then someone spun up like 30 AI porn communities and I had to block those too…

      I feel like sisyphus on this site. Especially with that guy who has 1 million different accounts all on different instances but with the same name.

    Welcome to the old internet.

    There is no algorithm. Lemmy doesn’t “figure out” anything.

    There is lots of furry porn.

    We love you.

    Probably just yiffit.net and pawb.social being themselves. I, for one, don’t mind it, but I can understand why people don’t wanna associate with it.

    I peruse all and do not have this issue. I may have blocked a furry porn community or two but I have several non porn furry stuff not blocked and it has not been an issue there. I even set my settings to show nsfw because there are some people who think a skimpy bathing suit or such is nsfw.

        well yeah as I said I don’t block the non porn ones. furry in real life is fine. if the comic characters where not anthro’s it would be like any other day in the life type comics.

      Seriously, I blocked maybe 3 communities, have no specific terms blocked, have NSFW enabled, and might see an anthropomorphic hyena with abs maybe once a month but with the clitordick. I’m super curious if this dude is just exaggerating or maybe there’s some underground furry subscribe specifically targeting him.

    There is no algorithm.

    Are you looking at the feed of everything that is posted on your instance?

      Technically, “show all posts in reverse chronological order” is an algorithm :P

      (I know what you mean, and I agree overall, but I couldn’t resist the silly nitpick about semantics!)

    I haven’t seen a single furry anything, or any type of porn for that matter.

        No need to subscribe, just browse all and every now and then there’s someone methed up and horny and the new of all is filled with nsfw posts.

        As long as they’re in one community it’s not hard to block but idk if I can personally block instances. I’m sure it’s possible but eh. But I don’t want to put nsfw filter on either as not all nsfw is porn.

    Instance blocking pawb.social and yiffit.net should get rid of most of it.

    edit: to combat some misinformation in the thread below: Blocking instances will only block communities from that instance, you can still interact with the users on other communities.
