My instance is quite liberal and not many instances are defederated. But there are some instances I don't want to see at all, like containing NSFW content.

While I can block any unwanted communities, it requires me to go to all of them one by one and block.

Can i somehow block all instance communities?

Not sure about Lemmy, but you can block entire instances if you use kbin.

For example, you can block the tankie instances by:

Navigate to these 2 URLs and block the entire domain from the sidebar.

https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml

https://kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml

Why the hell is it /d/ and not /i/ (for instance)?

[–] cloudless@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps the /d/ stands for "domain"?

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I suppose.
It does not seem to work properly though. I just got another thread from that furry instance. Guess I have to manually block all communities.

Unfortunately not yet (at least via lemmy)

I'm not aware of a way to do that without running your own instance, but I'm curious: Would it not work just as well to subscribe to the communities you want, and set your feed to show only those?

[–] Charliebeans 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I use subscriptions for most of the things. I just like to still browse "All" to see what's trending, I just have few instances that I'm sure that I don't want to see there.

Also for example I have NSFW disabled, but I still sometimes see SFW posts from those instances and I don't want that.

No, that capability's not yet implemented into Lemmy.

[–] Ragnell@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

We do have that ability on kbin instances if this is a big enough problem to move over here.

It’s called defederating the instance.

Lots of instance admins defederate with Nazi instances.
