How is a fediverse user supposed to find communities? I can’t find a way to search across the fediverse, which pretty much kills the concept IMO. I was browsing All via Lemmy.world - Mlem - iOS and my feed is half anime porn, with some pictures depicting underage and others not blurred as NSFW.
Am I going about the fediverse all wrong? How do y’all deal with this? Right now the fediverse seems like a glitchy, overcomplicated 4chan.
Personally I just use the search function at the top of the website or in Memmy to look for keywords and hope for a match.
Also as others have said you can block NSFW stuff which should help.
@Doxix Honestly just moving to a different instance instead of lemmy.world should do it; many of them do not federate with NSFW instances or if they do they federate with a limited selection of them. I haven’t checked in awhile, but when I was looking for what Kbin/Lemmy instance to join lemmy.world federates with everything except for two instances, which is asking for trouble.
I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy for a few days now and it helped me a lot with finding instances I wanted to follow.
I totally don’t have that problem on kbin. I can also just view my subbed “Magazines”.
Do you use an app to browse kbin on ios? I couldn’t get wefwef to take my Kbin account.
On iOS, you can just use Safari, and “add kbin to home screen.” This creates a shortcut to kbin on your home screen, but it also allows you to use kbin like an app. The website has an amazing UI through safari that feels like a native app you purchased in the App Store. I’ll attach a screenshot to this comment for you to see.
Thank you — this is what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I still think there’s a need for an app… this browser stuff is glitchy. It logs me out automatically, I can’t add multiple accounts, my keyboard loads all funky sometimes, and media needs to be manually expanded.
Being able to block entire instances is a feature that I’m surprised isn’t in the works. It would be simpler to block 2 instances than to block a hundred communities.
