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.
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.
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

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!

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
