When I'm at work surrounded by customers, I want this on. When I'm on a break or at home I want it off.

It is a lot of clicks to go thru Settings to change it, especially since there is no way to get into Settings if you are currently browsing a community. In that case you need to leave the community entirely just to get back to somewhere with a Settings kog, toggle it, then re-search and re-open the community only to find you've lost your scrolling spot. So overall it's something like 20 taps just to unhide the hidden things.

**The request: **Make this toggle always visible to be toggled in 1 click (2 at most) from any screen containing content (put it by the home button, for example).

Bonus request: Add the ability to reset this toggle to ON after a certain time/event, so if I forget to turn it back on it will do so alone and I don't get fired when a spicy meme or random porn thing scrolls up thru my screen as a customer is looking over my shoulder.

Bonus bonus request: Include that bar at the bottom (that contains Home, Account, etc.) when browsing communities. Ideally it should always be accessible.

I didn't realize this is a picture post and tried to unlock a NSFW-post clicking on the picture multiple times.

Classic Hank move.

I think a lot of people just create a second account, and swapping accounts is only 2 clicks. Might be a solution for you?

Ya that's a good idea if I have to. A toggle at the bottom would be nicer tho. The problem with the second account of course is that my 200+ communities I've blocked will no longer be blocked and I'd have to start over, and then block each community on both accounts over time.

For most people its a one time setting, Hide the NSFW content!... The fact that its 4 clicks away, isn't that difficult for those that want to reverse this setting...is it!

Well since you clearly didn't read my full post, I'm not going to bother clarifying. Have a good day.

I did actually, or I wouldn't have bothered replying, was just saying its not a big deal to get to it quickly as it is...for.most anyway... I also thought that even with Hide enabled, the content still appears, albeit blurred & requiring one click to reveal...maybe that's app dependent..🤷🏻‍♂️

Agreed, would be super useful for me as well.

I don't understand, this setting doesn't stop nsfw from ever appearing, it just hides nsfw posts behind a button you can press to deliberately show the content. Is there a reason why you're unable to just press the button?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's not that I'm unable to press the button. It's that if you have a feed with several NSFW posts, it's annoying to have to keep unhiding them when just sitting at home alone with no one else around. But I don't want to keep it off all the time because I'm often surrounded by people.
