I always felt like NSFW should be broken down two categories:
- sexual content
- graphic content (like gore or gross stuff)

People asked for this on reddit for years. This should be a no brainer.
Yeah. Lots of communities seemed to have NSFW vs NSFL to distinguish porn from gore, respectively. I agree with that distinction.

yeah better tags!!!
PornographicallyNotSafeForWork PNSFW
Not to be confused with PacificNorthSummerFiresWest PNSFW
Perfect for differentiating porn from OSHA violations.
Try just enabling nsfw. I haven't seen porn on Lemmy yet.
I mean if you go to all then there is a bunch of porn. Maybe not local or subscribed obviously. But yeah. Mucho porn in the early stages just like the other site at the beginning
If you go to the lemmynsfw instance and just pre-emptively block all of the communities, it mostly disappears. Folks are (at least on my feed) being pretty good about keeping it all there.
You must only look at local or subscribed. There's an awful lot of porn on Lemmy, but it's mostly on lemmynsfw.com.
That place is weird. Seems like 90% of its communities are celebrity names. Maybe it's because I don't have an account there, but that would also solve the OP's issue. If you can't really see things from there even with NSFW enabled, then it's not really a problem.
I've never seen a single porn post here and I have NSFW enabled. Maybe because of the instance, but still, I occasionally check "All" sources and haven't seen a single one.
If it's possible to block an entire instance, block the lemmynsfw one
Have a look at Liftoff app. It has the option to hide NSFW content behind a click-through warning.
Perhaps subscribe to communities that aren't for porn!
I think the problem with your suggestion is that NSFW-ness more of a spectrum.
- Memes are NSFW if you're under micromanagement and time pressure.
- Porn is NSFW if you're working in a childcare centre.
Meanwhile both are SFW if you're in your pyjamas and working from home.
