For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?
Wouldn’t it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. “Sexual content”, “Gore”, “Death”, “Violence” or for content that you truly want to avoid; “US Politics”.
I prefer that as well. After NSFL was implemented, someone else might come asking for a SPOILER tag or some other tag. Implementing them as separate features when they could all be part of the same tagging system seems impractical.
An advanced search would be so fing good for Lemmy. I realize that the problem is mainly how most modern search engines can’t do wildcard top level domain searches so you can’t really look up posts from lemmy[.]world or etc., but then Lemmy also has wildly variable domain names too which makes searching all the more difficult. A solution for this is so critical for discoverability and usefulness
Don’t forget “Musk” and “Trump”
is it possible to hide those here?
Perhaps categories first then the specifics? (e.g. NSFL: Gore)
Why would you need a category in addition to a tag?
Just a thought. Some might need finer details vs block whatever its marked NSFW.
Wouldn’t a specific tag provide enough detail?
Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.
I like this one
Another great one would be for phobias, being able to filter out images of a snake for example if you hate them. Sometimes the title filtering can do that but that doesn’t work when someone titles their picture “look at this cute little guy”
That’s a good idea. The client could let the user select their phobia from this list of all phobias from Wikipedia with a description and then filter for the tags matching the description.
