I don’t want to block all nsfw content but I really don’t want to have to block every new porn community that pops up on lemmynsfw. Is there a way to block all the communities that originate at lemmynsfw?

    I think this is a missing feature that is needed.

    I think users should be able to filter entire instances. There is at least one that comes to mind that I know for sure doesn’t host content that I want to see, but I rather not be forced to hunt for that perfect list of federated instances or run my own server nor should I have to block each community one by one.

    It should be really easy to implement, too. Thus, I consider it a missing feature.

      I’m already working on just running my own instance lol. But no users, just me. That way I can federate/defederate with whoever I want and call it a day.

          It’s kinda tricky because you can get a VPS set up really cheap. Like 5 dollars a month cheap or a bit more if you want something more feature rich. But the more instances you federate with, the more storage you’ll need since you’re basically mirroring all of the content you can see. So your cost for storage will go up every month pretty much forever.

    +1 to wanting this feature. Far be it from me to kinkshame anyone, but some of y’all are into some weird stuff. It hasn’t been too terrible to block community by community, but I gotta say - those of you who are into Fur are PROLIFIC with the genres and sub-genres of various yiff related activities. And actively participating! 😂

    I feel you. I want to explore other instances/communities outside of the one I’m in, and what I’m subscribed to, but it’s annoying scrolling though porn every other post (even though it’s blurred).

      On WefWef a few posts were in unblurring on their own for me. I ended up just blocking NSFW stuff all together for now

    I believe there is a setting in your lemmy.world profile to hide all NSFW content. Try looking at your user settings in browser

      This isn’t what I’m looking for. I don’t mind seeing NSFW content in general. It’s just that if you go to sort by new or top hour it’s a lot of porn specifically from lemmynsfw and its some weird shit usually. So i’d rather just block their whole instance and not deal with blocking them community by community or by turning off all nsfw content on my profile. If that option exists that is. If it doesn’t exist well then who do i petition to perhaps get it in the pipe?

        Ah I see, sorry for misreading. I believe that there is currently no way to block an instance but I’ve seen people requesting this feature a lot, along with people saying it will be added in the future. Unfortunately I think it’s a waiting game right now

      Thank goodness you posted this I thought I was hallucinating. I have a kbin.social account and could have sworn I blocked a couple of instances but now I can’t for the life of me figure out how I did it! Or what I blocked!

      Things are moving and changing fast in the fediverse, keeping up can definitely be a challenge.

        Navigate to /d/instance.to.block and you’ll find a block button. You can also subscribe to all federated communities from the same page!

      To do so, go to the instance’s Kbin address with this format: kbin.social/d/[insert instance name here].

      For example: kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.

      Then hit the block button in the upper right, under where it says domain.

      You’re able to block all media hosted on lemmynsfw (such as pictures shared from there) from being shared on kbin, but it will not block out content that is shared but hosted elsewhere (such as a link to a video). Still better than nothing.

        You can block all lemmynsfw posts on kbin by going to /d/lemmynsfw.com and using the block button. Not only will hosted content be blocked but text posts frim lemmynsfw won’t show up either.

        Maybe I misunderstand what you mean, though.

    def needs more controls here, you can tag your account so you dont see nsfw, blocking instance requires your instance to de-federate. easiest thing to do might be to find an instance that has rules that align with what you want as they will block/defederate instances that bring content in against those rules (to a degree)

      While this is a solution in the short term, it’s impossible to predict which instance will always align with what the user wants blocked in the future. You can self host and defederate yourself sure, but that’s not really a solution for the masses. We really don’t need to go as far as defederation for this when all we need is a way for the individual user to block/hide instances at will.

        Defederation is a heavy hammer for what I view as a UI problem. I just don’t want to see a whole swath of communities but still like the instance that federates with them.

      A more distinguished way of tagging would be interesting: Like NSFW for porn and NSFL for gore and let’s say NSFH (not safe for health) for alcohol and tobacco etc.
