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

If you want to block an entire instance, I think the only way is to run your own instance and add it to the blocked list, or join / signup on an instance that already blocks it, then browse lemmy from there.

Alternatively, if you want to block just certain subs from an instance, if you have not "joined" the sub, you should see a "block" button in the sidebar.

Thanks! Was hoping maybe someone knew a way to do it, but yea, seems like ill either just need to turn off the nsfw button, or go to each individual community and block it.
