Because it's full of Linux IT people aka furries and anime nerds?
This is the answer. It comes with the territory when you have a demographic that is nerdy and terminally online.
This demo has more pros than cons, but I do find myself using the "block community" option liberally.
I've been a "Linux nerd" since Red Hat's Halloween release back in the nineties. I attest that I am not, not have I ever been, a furry nor have I ever been that into anime. That said, I appreciate good Hentai. If done well, it can be an impressive mix of art and erotica. But it's mostly big tiddy trans furry pegging or giant tiddy tentacle sex posted here. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Why ‘Linux / IT’ guys? Is that really the demographic or the perceived demographic? I would consider myself a Linux / IT guy, but I’m not ever seeing furry things in linux tutorials for example. Just surprised that was the ‘go to’ group you listed as the demographic.
Found the closed source fanboy
Dual boot.
Better question is what are you doing to see so much hentai. I have NSFW on, and regularly browse "all" and porn in general remains a very rare occurence.
It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I've noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It's still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don't click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.
It's a lot. I'm not into anime or hentai at all, so I am constantly blocking communities. It seems like just when I get my "home page" how I like it, 16 more new communities popped up lmao.
What the hell why am I not seeing this? Not that I want to, but I keep hearing this and I just don't hardly ever see it.
Your instance is probably defederated from the nsfw instances the content gets posted to.
One of the biggest issues with the fediverse in my opinion, even the all feed is pre curated by what your instance has defederated. Lemmy needs a way for people to find content outside this filter bubble they are most likely not even aware of.
I'm on Lemmy.world.
Piracy talk is a big no-no, but I do get to see the continuous creation of never-ending pornographic hentai & furry shit or whatever. The drawings look like sexualized cartoons made for children and the furry stuff just looks like people drawing out their sick sexual fantasies of animals. Totally normal for the communities that are into that stuff. Don't kink shame!
My blocked community list is several pages long now. I really hate that I have to fucking VISIT a community before I can click something to block it. I wish I could tap-and-hold on a post and be able to block the community it was posted in or block their whole fucking disgusting server.
But I can't.
Because that's the beauty of Lemmy and federation.
I'm guessing lemm.ee admins take a stronger stance against sick shit.
Edit: a lot of the posts I see are from communities on the "yiffit.net" server. I have no idea how to block the entire thing. I'll block one community from there and then posts from another will show up.
Edit2: just saw a "kurumi_nsfw" post that looked like a drawing of a naked little girl and an "animefeet" post a little below where I saw this thread, so it's definitely showing up for people.
Dear god man
My experience exactly. It’s absurd.
Hentai? I never in my feed saw those. Are you sure it's not the NSFW community you subscribed to?
Where are all these Hentai you speak of so I can avoid it.
There is hentai on Lemmy?
You're on Lemmy.ml They censor all porn
I don't know why you get downvotes for this. This is completely correct. "no porn" is one of their instance rules.
But they don't block instances that allow porn, so there's NSFW content coming from them and I am fine with this. No hentai, though (at least not enough to qualify as "so much" to me ...)
I have no idea, can you provide examples for my research?
I actually think I might have NSFW turned off because I've never seen a single NSFW post on Lemmy, hmm
It's a user account setting
Look in my blocked communities list. It's full of memes, sports teams, and anime/hentai....
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
because for whatever reason that is what YOU tend to see in YOUR feed; why that is so, I do not know, it is not in mine.
Can you tell me where you found it so I can stay away from those places?
There is no concept of personal "algorithmic" feed here unless he subscribed to a bunch of hentai communities. I agree that when browsing on Everything sorted by New, there is a LOT of hentai. That includes AI generated hentai that seems popular here, probably because it is a legal gray zone.
Just sorted All by Active and New. Still no hentai
Keep trying, we need answers here.
“Well I don’t have this problem so nobody should bother trying to solve it”
What a ridiculous answer.
I haven't seen that much hentai, just regular porn. What communities have you been seeing with hentai? So I can uh stay away from them
Same here
Until we see links to this hentai we are trying to avoid, I’m not even sure it exists.
I've not seen any hentai or porn!
You‘ve probably got the „show NSFW content“ toggle off.
Because a lot of people like hentai ¯_( ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)_/¯
You dropped this mate \
You need to use 2 of them as they are also escape characters.Especially nerdy, terminally online types.
Not that that applies to any of us.
Haven't seen any at all on my end.
Freedom, that's why. If you don't like it, block the communities. You have the tools to solve the problem.
Lemmy has been in large part adopted by horny weebs. Just block the communities or set your reader app to filter out nsfw posts.
Or become a connoisseur ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It doesn't matter how many of these communities I keep blocking and blocking and blocking, the barrage just keeps on coming, it's relentless, they refuse to stick to one community or even two dozen of them, they have to make what seems like hundreds.
The worst are the horde of not necessarily nsfw celebrity communities. Thankfully it's all from 1-2 users so you can just block them, but it's like there's another new one created every couple seconds.
a cunnyseur 😭😭
It's the internet, nothing you can do about it
It's the intetnet. Nothing should be done about it.
where are those hentai subs( ask for a friend btw
Not more than Reddit.
Welcome to the internet, I guess. There always was and will be a shit-ton of hentai on any platform where users can post pictures.
You must be browsing All. Stop that.
How else are we supposed to discover new stuff?
For real, browsing all is mostly great. I just block the shit I don't wanna see ever again.
Lol Steve you're on the internet there's gonna be some hentai
Ever boot up Wallpaper Engine?
It pops up with a "do you want to hide Hentai?" button due to how much of it there is.
Weebs
You have nsfw on? Or you taking about cartoon styles?
This is why I just stick to the subscribed feed.
I already had to put a filter on Mastodon to stop seeing their creepy posts on my timeline with a #gaming tag, even though it's got nothing to do with gaming. Bluesky is also full of them and one of the main reasons I barely look at it.
Humans are freaky.
Menu -> Block Community
Oh hey I don't have to be bothered by bad porn anymore.
I blocked a lot of those communities. But there is a lot of hentai out there, hence why you see a lot of hentai appear from hentai dedicated communities.
There is a lot of it on the Internet. They know they can get good amounts of upvotes.
Why not? There is always the option to block.
I've noticed that my home instance has a bot that's been scraping reddit, that probably hasn't been helping.
Basement dwelling neckbeards are common.
Nerds be horny
Signed, a nerd
Probably your spesific instance
Welcome to the Internet! Is this your first day?
Because people are unaware of https://easypeasymethod.org
There isn't. I mainly sort by all, and i don't recall ever seeing a hentai post. Maybe you have 'show NSFW' set to on?
