Hey mature content creators! Don't forget to inform your followers to turn on their settings so they can view your work!

It’s in Moderation then Content Filtering👍

Seems this isn't working for everyone. But I think people are having better luck enabling this on desktop first. Doing it that way transferred over for me on iPhone.
Avatar
Yep this. Has to be enabled on desktop for iOS first.
Avatar
That’s what I wanted to know. Thanks a ton for the psa!

You can't change these directly in the iOS app, due to Apple's restrictions, so you'll have to do them in the Android app or via web browser
Avatar
Thanks for letting everyone know I’ve just checked mine because I used to use twitter and I know the settings are all different on bluesky
Avatar
yeah, ios is a nightmare for nsfw content. apple's a bunch of puritan assholes
Avatar
I really think some of these should be set to 'warn' by default. 😅
Avatar
Yeah, I set everything to “warn” so I can use this app in public lol.
Avatar
Thank you! I could not for the life of me figure out where this menu was.
Avatar
Thank you, it was driving me nuts not knowing how to turn that on, I kept looking in settings XD

Thank you, said in boldfaced oversized allcaps.

I get how it works from the filter side - but as a creator, how can you mark your work to apply to these filters? And are you obliged to rate your work/posts? Still trying to find my way around here (like some being able to post emojis, I can't even copypaste them.) Learning curve. ^^;
Avatar
You can't. And the algorithm doesn't catch everything, especially drawn artwork and furry stuff. As a result, I can't open BSKY in public because it doesn't understand dragon dick and the artist can't mark it as explicit.
Avatar
I spat out my drink when I read the original post about the dragon dick thing lmao
Avatar
It made it super uncomfortable to use the app...is it really hard to add a check box when people post?
Avatar
I’d personally just like to mark all media I post marked explicit so I don’t forget.
Avatar
You are a little late to the party - this post was from the days when you had no way, technically, to mark content yourself. They have implemented the option meanwhile. The little shield with the ! in it didn't exist back then, in the old wilderness days of Early Bluesky xD
Avatar
Aaahhhh I found the button. Thanks.
Avatar
I was having the same doubt, but it seems to be automatically detected given what you post? I can't find any place where you can apply filters to your own content. Trying not to post NSFW until I am sure though.
Avatar
I'll post "RSFW". Reasonably safe for work, depending where you work at. This means the Pope should probably not.. ya know.. then again, who am I to tell the Pope what to look at? Knock yourself out on furry smut all you want, Francis! xD

Click the shield icon besides the post button and it'll bring up a list of reasons to censor images, like gore, suggestive/explicit images, or artistic nudity. From what I can tell, Bluesky mods just delete uncensored posts.
Avatar
Reminder: Setting it to warn will also show you that the posts exist, just allows for work place bluesky-ing! They will just have a blurry filter over until you tap it!
Avatar
Sadly on my app it's forced to hide. Only on browser
Avatar
The first post I made didn't appear. So the filters even censor your own posts.
Avatar
I noticed that too...and made the same post about 4 times before i realized what's going on XD
Avatar
do we know how to apply/edits these filters as a creator? one of my posts is being marked as sexually explicit because it's a shirtless (male) mermaid :)
Avatar
You can't. The algorithm has to do that. It's also why even with mature content turned off, a bunch still gets through. Bsky doesn't want us to moderate our own content, they have to do it for us.
Avatar
hopefully the ai improves soon then 😭😭 thank you for sharing the info
Avatar
Well, you can set an “adult content” mark on your post as long as it has media in it. Just tab the symbol I circled in here while you’re creating your post.
Avatar
This is true now. It was not back then.
Avatar
nevertheless, thanks for the update!
Avatar
It allowed me to go onto the online platform and change it but it won’t update my settings in the app, does anyone know what I might be doing wrong, or a workaround for it?
Avatar
tysm for this info - I was like, *no way* is there no risqué furry content on this site 😂
Avatar
Heard and understood! Thank you!
Holy thank you man!
Avatar
Oooh, this site is a bit of a headscratcher for now, but it'll make sense in time :P
Avatar
I set those on the web version, but they aren’t syncing to the app. Anybody know a fix?
Avatar
Yeah it happens the same to me
Avatar
Check my comment above. Fixed it for me (iOS).
Avatar
Avatar
Hasn't been fixed in the past few days, it seems.
Avatar
Found a fix: open the bsky.app webversion on your phone, and toggle the ‚allow adult content‘ settings back and gorth.
Bluesky Socialbsky.app See what's next.
Avatar
No matter where I do it it won't work, maybe they don't like whe new accounts do it but I don't think I can do anything about it
Avatar
have you opened bluesky on your phone and moved the 'allow adult content' slider back and forth?
Avatar
Does the same on the app and web, it will only stay on for a few seconds before switching back no matter how much I move it
Avatar
Strange...maybe they changed something about the settings in an update?
