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.
How do I do that? Under the federation tab and add the instance?
Idk how to do it through the settings UI, I just navigated to (nsfw warning) https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com (nsfw warning) and pressed the block symbol next to subscribe
That link is certainly a good example of showing the issue. Almost half of the posts are not properly tagged.
Yeah this seems to work, I wish I could paste the domain into the blocked menu in my settings so I didn’t actually have to navigate there, but this works. Thanks!
Yeah I had to be really sneaking navigating there and blocking it so my wife didn’t see and ask questions, lol.
Yeah for now I’ve just been trying to hack together a usable feed/site (I’m atm actually replying to you from your profile because I can’t see your reply on the original thread for some reason), my understanding is that the current front end is basically a strapped together prototype that wasn’t supposed to end up with almost a quarter of a million users in a week
That’s exactly right! It’s definitely feeling the strain of so many users
@aetris thank you! Good enough for me, and it works!

That’s how you block a magazine, they are talking about blocking the whole instance.
Ah ok. Thanks for pointing it out.
