Hello, I would like to ask you, I happened to see something nsfe by mistake, I'm not sure if I even saw it well, it was also somewhat far and small on the screen.

Someone asked about somrthing in a christian subreddit, I clicked on their profile, I saw that there and looked away.

I did get tempted to lust afterwards but Praise the Lord Jesus by his power I overcame.

However I am pretty depressed and worried about if just seeing thst by mistake counts as lust.

May I please ask you, what do you think and what is your experience with that?

Intentions vs Actions
Not saying actions are irrelevant, but intention is important too. You didn't seek this out, it was an accident that you saw it. Therefore, not lust.
This accident did have an effect on you which you fought off. Sounds to me like you're fine. That's what grace is all about.

A quick Google search turns up:

NSFW -- "not safe for work" -- online content considered not appropriate to be views or shared at work due to offensive, violent, or sexual content.

Examples include nude pictures, pornography, depictions of violence, torture, or extremely dirty restrooms.

I use to be active on reddit, now I mostly use it for ratings/reviews. Lots of garbage like that on social media in general these days.

How did that last one get in there? Some people consider filthy restrooms to be a turn-on?

Let's just say, you don't want to see the pictures that put those toilets in NSFW territory.

Basically, ones that look like people have been holding it in for 6 months, and letting it all go everywhere all at once.

I use Covenant Eyes, a Christian app that surveils your devices. On the strongest setting (which I am on) I am not even allowed on Reddit. Even Covenant Eyes knows how filthy that place is.

I believe they have settings on their website to blur out inappropriate (explicit) images, videos and sounds. If they don’t, I highly recommend a Covenant Eyes subscription and turn on the Strong setting.
