In my experience you only see it if you have nsfw stuff turned on and you have nsfw unhidden and you browse stuff by new (this is coming from a furry on a furry instance). The furry complaints are overblown imo, lemmynsfw is way worse; stuff doesn’t always get tagged as nsfw there.

I had to block five to ten-ish furry or similar communities and I’ve since seen nothing furry related on my feed. So it’s not like it’s a huge problem, but it does certainly affect people’s first impression of the platform.

I mean, I see a lot of furries in my local feed, but it doesn’t take a sherlock to see why. In all feed though, even with this account, I could hardly see any furry posts, although very occasionally they show up.

So much so that I disabled NSFW posts altogether.

If you allow any NSFW content (like Ukraine feeds) it comes through, and there are like 40+ Yiff communities. I spent the weekend after I joined blocking them.

The only others that are as bad are Baseball, Soccer, and F1. I am working on blocking all of them as well.

I don’t think I have really come across any and I browser All with NSFW enabled.

I have not seen any furry stuff yet, except the odd lemmy-flooded-by-furry meme. NSFW enabled.

Maybe it’s lemm.ee? Not a furry but in all while sorting by new, I get a large quantity of furry porn, along with other porn. I’ll admit I’m blocking every porn community until I can just block instances, so maybe that shows more, but it’s been like this the entire time
