I don’t think users can block an instance. But you can uncheck “show nsfw” in your settings.
Dang. I don't mind seeing nsfw content. I just don't want entire instances dedicated to it showing up in my feed.
I agree. I have it turned off for now because it was dumb seeing stupid porn, but I don't mind reading about other adult topics, and self-tagging NSFW stuff is obviously capriciously applied. What would be inappropriate to some is not to others. It would be nice to be able to control that more granularly.
I'm hoping that levels of NSFW will be implemented so we have that control
You can block individual communities. It's not perfect but it's the only option through Lemmy for the time being. I think I remember seeing a ticket for being able to block instances at the user level, but idk how big of a priority that is rn.
