I don’t want any lemmy.nsfw posts on my All tab. And there are so many instances
Coming soon ™
hey, it’s yay 🤗
I’m lemmynsfw admin. I heard that beehaw will upgrade, so you can then block us 😢☹️
It’s called an “instance” and you can block them with apps like Connect or Boost.
Supposedly Lemmy software should be updated now/soon to let you do it, in which case it would be in your Beehaw settings.
Downside of doing that (at least in Connect), is that it will block comments from users on those instances as well. I blocked a few furry instances because I’m not interested in that stuff, but it ends up blocking quite a few innocuous comments in random threads. It’s less of an issue with the explicitly NSFW instances though.
In Connect there’s a “Blocked Instances Includes Comments” checkbox in your settings to block or show comments from blocked instances, under the Block List section.
My experience on Connect is that it puts up a “spoiler”-like filter on comments from users on blocked instances, giving you the choice in the moment of whether or not to reveal it. Super useful for blocking hexbear posts and giving me control over whether I choose to see hexbear user comments on posts on other instances
True, I don’t like seeing hexbear posts but as long as the conversation isn’t too political I don’t mind seeing their comments in other threads. I like Connect’s system
“a federation” meaning what? Lemmy lets you view, for example, only communities that are local to your instance. Otherwise you’re left with blocking individual instances.
