How do I mute or block other instances? (self.lemmyworld)

Wanting to hide some of the nsfw instances or communities, but keep the nsfw visible option turned on.

Theres some news videos that are sometimes nsfw and i don’t want to filter those out, but at the same time, I don’t want to see a random nude when im scrolling through all, on the couch with my family around.

Anyone know what to do? Haha

If this is the wrong place to ask, I apologize! Any idea where i should be asking this?

Edit: So you can block communities on a personal level, but not instances. The ability to block instances on a personal level could be a future lemmy feature. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

I like to scroll through all. Yesterday, an under crotch angled drawing of some fury wolf boy thing showed up on my screen lmao

Ah. Fair enough. The only way I know of as others have mentioned is either blocking those communities individually or creating your own instance then blocking those you don’t want to show up.

yea, i decided ill take the hit to losing potential news posts and just turned off the show nsfw button in my settings for now.

Apparently the ability for individual users to block instances is an open issue on lemmy github, so maybe it will get added in the future.

Was about to ask the same thing. Ideally I'd like to just keep pornography from showing up in my "all" without having to block it entirely or hide it entirely.

I'm no prude, but if I want to see the porn, I'll go to the community to see it and keep my "all" feed safe for work.
