Nope, I didn't follow anything of the sort.

  So how did the content appear in your feed?
  - Bric3d 1y ago
    Likely using the "discover" or "popular with friends" feeds, not sure why one would do that to themselves on either bluesky or twitter.

    Do you use social media? You seem unaware of how it’s worked for over a decade.

      Normally, I need to follow someone on BlueSky to see their content or content shared by them. It doesn't inject recommendations into my feed.

        The discover feed of bsky on a blank account with no follows or followers or likes had lots of this stuff when I tried it.

    Why on earth is this downvoted? I have an identical question. The default method of operation on Bluesky is that you follow people you are interested in, and only the people you follow show up in your feed.

        Spell out what you are implying. I have no idea what the originator of this thread was doing to end up in their situation. I've seen nothing like it on bluesky. Maybe it's obvious to you and others why it happened, but it's not to all of us, and down voting people for asking this question doesn't make is any clearer.

        The way BlueSky is structured, you have to follow people to see their content in your feed. Hence my confusion. Other people have pointed out that the "Discover" feed with a fresh account may show material that the OP finds unappealing and that people have failed to report as untagged NSFW content.
