I would like to block all the porn communities without having to block all adult content but the only way is one at a time as far as I know. I love adult humor but I am so over porn and I don't need it in my feeds.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
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.
Questions 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 META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser 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.
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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Post thoughtfully not quickly.
I find that searching for the appropriate community can be a hassle. With so many different instances hosting the same communities, it can be difficult to know where to post.
lemmy experience intensifies
I said months ago the same thing. I think the power of the fediverse IS NOT the multiple different communities. Rather the ABILITY TO create multiple different communities.
And the example I use is a community for dads. Somebody creates a community for dads and parenting advice on lemmy.world.
And then it gets popular.
So somebody else creates that same community on lemm.ee
But why? Now 40% of the dads are on lemmy.world, 20% are on lemm.ee, and 40% are on both. It would make sense if there were a problem on lemmy.world, but until there IS a problem, stop trying to fix problems that may or may not happen later.
The fediverse take a bit too much pride on the concept of being decentralized. To the point where it doesn't feel like a united set of communities. It just feels fractured.
It's ok to FEEL centralized.....until shit goes down. The you can pull out the decentralized card, start a new community, and pull the rotten tooth. But until it's needed, don't add extra uneeded tooth implants.
......ok, that analogy got away from me a bit, but you guys get my point, right?
i hope not. people should invest little but more effort and thought into creating post for other people than they do into creating their personal bookmarks.
I agree. many times I see communities that the only activity is link posting. not even comments.
i kinda understand that to be the case somewhere, starting new community is not easy.
i was thinking more about posts where you have some headline, no picture, the post's body is "click here to prove you are not a bot", and the poster didn't care enough to fix that.
I think the "prove you are not a bot" and the preview picture (if any) are often automatically-added. It gets complicated, bc the picture (for example) MAY be added by the posting software and/or the server, and the picture may or may not propagate. Whether or not this happens depends on the version (of posting software and server), how it was configured, and where it is hosted. Sometimes, the preview will not be generated because the content being previewed will disallow this -- for example, youtube previews on [email protected] used to be automatically generated, but I think youtube changed something so that doesn't happen any more. Furthermore, the reading client will sometimes generate preview pictures anyway. CAVEAT: I only partially understand all this.
Summary: preview generation on the fediverse is a complex issue.
and when any of what you said happens, you go and manually edit it. that is the effort i am talking about.
Same, I am not a fan of a post being only some link. Bring some of your perspective into it, even if its just 2 sentences.
Sometimes all thats relevant is the link, or the commentary would be more appropriate as a comment. For example, posting a news article to a news community or a set of patchnotes to a game's community. At least personally, thats the majority of what I want to see: a post with a bunch of fairly direct information, and discussion of its implications in the comments.
I don't know of any, but it sounds like a good idea as a browser extension. I'd write one if my code writing skills weren't terrible.
If you are ever wondering what community to post in, especially deciding between one or another, pick 2 or 3 and post to all of them. People usual don't mind a small amount of duplicate posting, if it repeats like 10 times in their feed they get annoyed though.
