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

yea, i decided ill take the hit to losing potential news posts and just turned off the show nsfw button in my settings for now.

Apparently the ability for individual users to block instances is an open issue on lemmy github, so maybe it will get added in the future.
