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.
There’s a third option of self hosting an instance for yourself. I understand that’s not an option for everyone, but it would solve your issues too.
Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.
Could you please paraphrase your title as a question to make it more readable, and in compliance with rule #1? Thank you :)
Done
You could just untick NSFW in your profile.
There is porn-ish content that is not nsfw and there is nsfw content that is not porn. Seems like I will switch to kbin for now.

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…
I think it’s fine that there is lemmynsfw instance. But I would like the option to block it from my personal feed.
