Wanting to hide some of the nsfw instances or communities, but keep the nsfw visible option turned on.

Theres some news videos that are sometimes nsfw and i don’t want to filter those out, but at the same time, I don’t want to see a random nude when im scrolling through all, on the couch with my family around.

Anyone know what to do? Haha

If this is the wrong place to ask, I apologize! Any idea where i should be asking this?

Edit: So you can block communities on a personal level, but not instances. The ability to block instances on a personal level could be a future lemmy feature. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

    Was hoping there was a way to do it for instances as a whole, but if this is the only way then ive got some work to do. Lol

      This would be a great feature - it’s one of the best things about Mastodon. You can’t filter out all the idiots one-by-one, but then you see someone two people posting some sus anime, or fubar politics, and you can block thousands of idiots with three clicks. It’s very satisfying.

      Given Lemmy’s conversational layout, I wonder if there aren’t hidden difficulties. Like if there’s a conversation which goes like this:

      .
├── person_0
├── idiot_0
│   ├── person_1
│   ├── person_2
│   ├── idiot_1
├── person_3
│   ├── idiot_1

      …then which comments should you see? If you block all the idiots, but not replies, then you can’t understand the conversation.

      I suspect blocking idiots and all replies would work, but I’m not sure.

        True, but i don’t want to ban it for everyone else, wish there was a way to mute instances on a personal level without making my own personal instance.

          This would sure be nice–three checkboxes in preferenes 1) Block NSFW Insances 2) Block NSFW Communities 3) Block NSFW Content

            Exactly, i would block 1 and 2 but a news or politics instance/community, will occasionally have a nsfw tagged post that i don’t want to filter out.

      I’m curious why you would need to block an entire instance when you can simply ignore it? Nothing from another instance would show up in yours unless you’re following it.

        I like to scroll through all. Yesterday, an under crotch angled drawing of some fury wolf boy thing showed up on my screen lmao

          Ah. Fair enough. The only way I know of as others have mentioned is either blocking those communities individually or creating your own instance then blocking those you don’t want to show up.

          Was about to ask the same thing. Ideally I’d like to just keep pornography from showing up in my “all” without having to block it entirely or hide it entirely.

          I’m no prude, but if I want to see the porn, I’ll go to the community to see it and keep my “all” feed safe for work.
