How do I block an entire instance?

I'm getting really really sick of blocking dozens of communities from lemmynsfw every single day. It never ends ffs.

If I want porn, I'll go looking for porn. It shouldn't be every third post in my feed.

Honestly, how is anyone supposed to join Lemmy if they all just get flodded with mountains of porn??? I can't imagine anyone that's not already invested in being here wanting to join. (unless their looking for a pornhub alt I guess...)

Not everything NSFW is porn and I'm not looking to remove non-porn so permanently hiding everything tagged NSFW isn't a solution.

I think this and blocking all users from a specific server are the top feature requests. Maybe followed closely by account migration.

I'd do this with the Lemmygrad tankies in a heartbeat.

So it's not currently possible?

I was afraid of that.... TBH I'm debating running a private instance just to deal with this. Seems excessive though. :/
