For sure, hands are generally getting better, but they are still a persistent problem. Mostly you need a prompter who isn’t lazy and is actually looking at the outputs.
Well I didn’t want to have a bio, but Lemmy doesn’t let me null it out, so I guess I’ll figure out something to put here later.

Pretty embarrassing behavior all around. That said, I can’t wait for the Jomboy breakdown.
As long as they don’t try to mandate that tech companies provide encryption backdoors, have at it.
I’m honestly trying to figure out how the hell Meta is going to make money on this venture. The genie is out of the bottle for the Fediverse. If they try to show ads on Threads, people will presumably just get an account on a Mastodon instance and follow who they want from Threads…
Are you installing from scratch, docker, or Ansible? I know in Ansible the default nginx config has been wrong for a week or so, but just got fixed this morning.
I have this same issue, also no posts load for me. I can go get URLs for individual posts in a magazine and search for them and they’re pulled in, but that doesn’t really help either. I’ve tried purging the communities as well with no joy 🤷
I know I’m late to the game commenting in here, but I think it’s important to distinguish whether we’re talking about people merely adding descriptors to their NSFW posts or whether we’re talking about a whole tagging system being implemented into the Lemmy protocol. Adding a full fledged tagging system to Lemmy similar to Mastodon would be a pretty big undertaking. But anything short of that would feel like a kludgey, bolted-on solution. The NSFW flag + user added descriptors is the only way for users to go about it for now.
I do think a conversation about adding tags into Lemmy is worthwhile because tags could potentially allow for a lot of neat things. E.g. we might eventually be able to start making custom feeds by aggregating content from multiple similar communities across instances. It would also let users filter tags they don’t want to see at all (regardless of whether it’s NSFW) or don’t want to see by default (i.e. blur the images until they’re selected). But I know the Lemmy devs probably don’t want it to end up looking like a Reddit/Mastodon hybrid or just become kbin, so this is something they’ll consider carefully. I think right now they’re rightly focused on database and federation performance and the broader dev community is helping with more immediate needs like spam account mitigation. They’ve gotta stop the bleeding and get a solid foundation established before building major changes like a full fledged tagging system.
You’re probably going to have a bad time in the Fediverse if you’re hoping to avoid viewpoints you don’t agree with entirely. The best advice I can give you for now is to just block that community and move on with your life. As much as I hate TD and its members, the sh.itjust.works admin has the right to administer their instance however they want. If they end up with a sufficiently toxic total userbase where their users are causing problems on other instances to the point they are a net negative, they will end up being defederated by other more reasonable instances. Beehaw is being pretty aggressive with defederation for things like this, so if you’re looking for the safest of spaces in the Lemmyverse they really might be more your speed. Or you can start your own personal instance and defederate whoever you want 🤷
What you’re describing is only possible on de-anonymized platforms that essentially have “know your customer” type policies where users have to provide some kind of proof of their identity. While I agree that there is value in social spaces where everyone generally knows the people they’re interacting with are who they say they are, I don’t think this is ever going to be feasible in a federated social platform. I think Facebook is the closest thing we have to what you’re describing, to be honest, and I believe Meta has even kicked around having a more sandboxed Instagram for minors (though I don’t use Instagram, so I’m not certain on the details there).
For me, in most cases on a platform like Lemmy, a person’s age is not something I care about. I care about what people are sharing and saying. But then again, none of my interests for online discussion at this point in my life are really age centric. I think there are clearly better platforms than Lemmy if people want to guarantee they’re only interacting within their age specific peer groups.
