Too much porn on Pixelfed (feddit.it)

Hello everybody. I've been browsing the Fediverse for a few months now and I'm loving it but there's a not-that-small issue I'm having with Pixelfed

So basically every time i go into my federated timeline I always end up seeing PLENTY of literal porn (not artistic nude, i'm talking of fully fledged porn) EVERYWHERE. Is there a way I can disable it? I don't want to force block every post maked as nsfw even because sometimes not-nsfw posts get marked as nsfw for some reason

I'm using in an Italian instance called pixelfed.uno

Some help wold be highly appreciated ๐Ÿ™ Thanks in advance!

That's terrible ... show me where so I never go there ...

On a more serious note, if you're going to the federated timeline, you can get all kinds of unwanted things. It's usually best to search interests by hashtag and build out your community of folks you follow that way. Also most platforms allow you to block stuff market as #nsfw but that's completely on the person to do the right thing. Which in reality, sadly, you should never depend on someone else.

I personally run my own GoToSocial, so I can defederate with folks I don't want and have more control over what I see. More work for me, and GoToSocial isn't fully ready for primetime, but that's always an option.

The Fediverse is still in it's infancy, so it's gonna have some growing pains, but I'm hoping it continues to grow and things like you're suggesting become an after thought in the future.
