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.
Any idea on what the monthly cost is going to run?
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.
I’ll give it a shot. Running self hosted or a VPS isn’t an issue. Thanks.
+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! 😂
Yea those instances that do nothing but sports matches, like yea guys okay, we all enjoy some weird stuff, but keep it in your living rooms
Right?! We get it. “GOL” Okay. I don’t even like Squash, okay?
So many furries communities out there. Makes me wonder about my coworkerz.

For sure, but that doesn’t really address the issue.
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’m on wefwef too and haven’t had that happen… yet
I was sitting next to my girl and a bunch of booty pop up and I closed it real quick and figured out how to block it 😂
How do you block communities on wefwef!?
I’m not entirely sure, I just blocked all nsfw from my profile. It’s in the settings on Lemmy.world. I’m sure it’s similar for other instances
You could use a userscript extension like Tampermonkey and install this script to be able to block posts and comments from specific instances: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704
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
You could message the admins here (https://lemmy.world/u/lwadmin) and state your point.
I’m in the same exact situation.
Cant you uncheck the “show nsfw” box under settings?
Wouldn’t that block all nsfw content and not just porn?
1)Join an instance that’s defederated with that instance.
2)Block each community in your feed you don’t like.
3)Wait until the feature your asking about is implemented.
Yes
