I don't want any lemmy.nsfw posts on my All tab. And there are so many instances

It's called an "instance" and you can block them with apps like Connect or Boost.

Supposedly Lemmy software should be updated now/soon to let you do it, in which case it would be in your Beehaw settings.

Downside of doing that (at least in Connect), is that it will block comments from users on those instances as well. I blocked a few furry instances because I'm not interested in that stuff, but it ends up blocking quite a few innocuous comments in random threads. It's less of an issue with the explicitly NSFW instances though.

In Connect there's a "Blocked Instances Includes Comments" checkbox in your settings to block or show comments from blocked instances, under the Block List section.
