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

    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.
