Hey folks. I’m relatively new to lemmy and the fediverse. After spending some time here I really like the idea and most of the implementation but there is one major flaw. As a user I cannot seem to ban a whole instance and that really sucks. I do not want to get bombarded by porn all the time but there are more porn communities on lemmy than stars in the universe. I can spend all day blocking them one by one.
So I either need a way to block stuff like porn and similar nonsense instances OR I need a instance finder that can help me find an instance by entering what stuff I need banned and what stuff I need federated. I do not have the time to look through every instance myself.
This isn’t an exact solution for you but an observation and if you followed its path would work.
I think, and I may be wrong, but you only get content on your instance based on users on your instances subscriptions. So, if no one on your instance was subscribed to any porn, you wouldn’t see it, even in all, because your instance isn’t pulling it.
I’m on a very small user base instance, and am guessing no one has subscribed to any porn or crazy stuff, because I never see it.
Solution is to join or start a small instance, and just subscribe to communities you like, and it’s all you’ll see content from. I think…
