I find this the most frustrating part of federation. So many more communities to block when so many instances can have the same sorts of community

    Maybe instead of blocking what you don’t want to see and browsing All, subscribe to what you want to see and browse Subscribed?

    🤷‍♂️

      Just browsing subscribed will only show me what I already know about. Browsing all will let me find new communities. User-level instance blocking would make this list much shorter - for example there seems to be a sports-specific instance. Thats great! If instance blocking came along, I could block all their communities for myself as a user. Same with the furry shit

    A couple things can help:

    For porn, you can uncheck “show NSFW” in your profile, it will make those posts disappear. Hopefully we can personally block instances in the future. I’m only aware of blocking individual communities and overall just not showing NSFW.

    Nazi instances like exploding-heads should have already been defederated by your admin, so that’s a (lack of) moderation issue. You might have to pick a better instance with a proper blocklist.

    Hopefully they can also implement a filter feature like we have on Mastodon. To exclude communities and posts with specific keywords would be immensely helpful.

      The specific pornlemmy community specifically has “SFW” posts which show up. The community as a whole isn’t NSFW.

      The explodingheads communities I blocked before world defederated
