I know this is not a feature oficially on lemmy as of now (at least the github https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397?ref=privacy.thenexus.today the issue is still open)

What I’m asking is if there are any browser extensions or an app that will just automatically block any community you encounter from a particular instance.

Im kind of tired of seeing all the porn on all and blocking communities 1 by 1 but I don’t want to turn off nsfw.

(Also as a side question, is this the community to ask lemmy related questions? I guess it will probably be oversaturated with this kind of post so I ask for future reference, I thought about asklemmy but that is more about open ended questions.)

    Just log in on a normal web browser (not wefwef), search for the community you want to block and enter that page, there should be a block community button there. After blocking they will not show up in your feed anymore (I’ve used it to successfully block all the shitposting communities, so much better)

      OP was asking about blocking instances, not communities - e.g. everything that’s hosted by lemmy.world, not just nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

      As thenother user pointed out, I want to block instances, that os why I pointed out the github threat.

      Blocking communities has become really easy though, at least from my app I can block them just by seeing a post.
