There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren’t being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.

EDIT: I personally don’t care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don’t know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.

    I mean you can do it yourself. I turned federation status off for me to get a feel for kbin, interact here and see whats on here. If I get bored I might turn it back on and see what’s happening in other places.

    This is good imo. Let the user decide what they want to see.

      How do you do that? I was looking for exactly that feature but can’t find a “local list”, which only shows kbin threads or something similar.

          I think that this button defederate your content, not the content from other instances.

          if you want to block another instance, you can click on its domain name (between bracket) and block it. like you’ll block usual magazine

          you can also type this in your url to access a domain : https://kbin.social/d/name of the domain like kbin.social or lemmy.whatever

          then you can check the magazines and domains you blocked in your profile’s settings.

          but it’s still a bit buggy and need some work to work correctly.

          EDIT: this doesn’t block the instance, but only the domain. new tool coming soon, confirmed by the main dev:

          domain blocking existed long before federation. It serves as a way to block sources like youtube.com, spotify.com. Blocking instances will be a separate option in the user profile soon. I will submit a pull request.

        Click the little triangle in the top right corner just under the search button. There’s an option to turn federation on or off.
