YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
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.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Is there any way to block an entire server that's federated to the one you have an account on? I don't want to individually block every single community.
No, your admin could defederate them but that effects everyone
A lot of people have requested this feature though, so it may come.
It would be great... I'm tired of pawb.social and yiffit.net.
To each its own, but furry and furry porn are not for me.
Thanks for the response!
I think I might be done with lemmy until that's introduced. I want to be a part of the midwest.social community on here, but I don't want to block new porn communities every day as their volume of votes tends to dominate the feed.
And I don't want to set it to subscribed communities only, because then I won't find new communities I'll actually enjoy and engage with. I think there's a lot of potential with these federated communities, but it's just not mature enough for user controls yet.
As an FYI you you go to your profile settings on your instance's site, you can turn off NSFW and you won't see any of that.
You could also sign up to an instance that blocks the porn one, and still participate in Midwest.social communities
It's a decent bandaid, but I don't want to block all NSFW content, I just want better controls around it so I'm not fighting an onslaught of creative new community names around anal whenever I open the site or an app.
I could indeed join another instance, but figuring out which instances are federated to which other instances is a bit of a slog from a user perspective unless there's a big searchable graph available somewhere (which is entirely possible, I'm still very ignorant).
And who knows, maybe the apps will get better and be able to grab a local-only feed for each instance you have an account on and can patch together a feed from them all mixed together, and that would get me close to a workable solution for the long run.
I suppose you could also sit down and subscribe to every community you want. Then used the subscribed feed. Kinda kills discovery for new communities though
