Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

I wish we could block full instances that way. I blocked 30 different communities on lemmynsfw and every time I browse /all there are 10 new ones.
Now I'm not some prude snowflake, but my use case for lemmy (as it was for reddit) is simply the polar opposite, and having to block all of those titty farms individually is frustrating.
Ability to block instances at the user level should be coming in one of the next updates
Is there a roadmap anywhere? I looked at joinlemmy and it's only showing vague news instead of a clear, concise roadmap. Oh and yeah, blocking instances is critical. Really annoyed with socialist spam.
I don't know of any formal roadmap for all major upcoming changes/features, no. Sorry!
I think we'll probably get something soon. Activity on a few open issues and pull requests from 2022 or earlier seemed to increase a lot over the past week, I imagine they're still figuring out what needs to be prioritized on the fly.
Awesome!
Yes! I want to block beehaw. If they’re going to defederate 90% of the instances, I don’t want to see anything from them.
Same for me. I don't need to see nudes in my feed when I'm at work or some public place.
In the android app there is a setting called "show NSFW". I'm not sure if it really not fetching it or just not showing. Could be important if you are using it on a work phone.
On mobile I'm usually browsing subscribed communities, on desktop I'm exploring new ones. No idea why, just turned out that way for the time being.
Good point with the not displaying vs. not fetching! I'm using my private phone for work with a second SIM, so that's not an issue here, but it might certainly be for others. I'd expect the filter to fully ignore NSFW, but with an app in its alpha stage, you never know just how things are implemented early on.
I would love to be able to block lemmygrad in its entirety. As soon as we get that feature I'm using it. Like you said, it's too tedious doing it by community.
That's one thing I think kbin is really doing right. You can block communities (magazines), users, and domains.
Yep, as soon as that's a feature with lemmy, it will improve my user experience drastically.
"titty farms" 😂
I feel the same way about the same instance.
Yes, we need this functionality. Not only for titty pages but also for hate-filled instances.
You can disable showing nsfw post in your settings if that helps
It's a temporary workaround, but not really a permanent fix. There's NSFW other than porn, and I don't necessarily want to block everything 18+.
true
tbh porn centerd instances shouldn't be federatet imo
To each their own, I don't want to make it sound like I support censorship. But yeah I guess it does create endless redundancies of pics only a handful people per instance ever watch.
Or at least must be opt-in
It should eventually be condensed into a whitelist(subscribe) / blacklist(block) function, with more granular controls.
It would be awesome if we could use regex, too: like adding
*@assholes.instanceto the blocklist and addlinux@*to the whitelist.
