I'm not that interested in having porn on my feed but I don't want to disable NSFW either. How can I block an entire instance like lemmynsfw?

Your best option is probably to change the feed view from “All” to “Subscribed” and subscribe to the community’s that you’re interested in seeing content from

This works for things I'm explicitly interested in seeking out, but one thing I use this type of social media for is finding entirely new things that before scrolling past I didn't even know were things, or wouldn't otherwise seek out on my own or even know to look for. I don't have any objection to porn, but I also don't want to be scrolling past it on my phone with my kids around, even if it's blurred or minimized. Having to block each individual community as it pops up isn't feasable--being able to block by server (like a general block on lemmynsfw) would make general use so much easier.

I don't have the answer, but this seems like yet another case why we need a difference between nsfw and porn. I think that is the real fix, porn and other stuff like swearwords aren't the same.

It would be nice if you could have a couple categories. Like NSFW, NSFL, Porn. Idk what else haha

I'm 100% not ok with NSFL stuff and usually am not gonna to be interested in porn, but I'm ok with slightly NSFW content that is sort of subjective. Let's say there's a picture of someone in a bikini. That's subjective and some people will mark it NSFW and some won't. So yes, I totally agree that it would be nice to have various degrees of NSFW and you can opt on or out depending on what you're comfortable with.

Ngl that's kind of a shocking oversight given the nature of the internet
