I've had great success just outright blocking the porn-centric instances.
But then i will miss out on those users comments , normal posts etc . tho
I don't think that's how it works. It should only block the communities on those instances, but not the users. At least that's my understanding.
Idk i guess someone need to confirm

On the desktop web UI; how the hell do I actually block specific instances? Because I'd certainly like to figure that out. I've been using my adblock to remove anything hexbear or lemmynsfw - including users.
Settings > Blocks, instance blocks are at the bottom so if you already have a long block list you might have missed it down there.
That cleared it up .
