I am browsing “new” to try and discover new communities to join but I am getting a lot of NSFW images despite having this turned off in the settings.

It looks like users are posting nsfw content but not adding the nsfw tag so the images show up in my stream.

They all seem to be coming from @lemmynsfw.com but from different users.

I see that I can block individual users but is there a way to block the @lemmynsfw.com instance?

If not is there another way to fix this problem?

    I agree.

    I’m definitely getting a massive hentai influx right now in new.

    I would like to be able to Autohide posts from an instance at least at the app level.

      This would be a useful feature rather than relying on an admin or mod to take care of the problem manually.

      It seems like this is one area of a federated system that could be an advantage over a centralized system like reddit …if the feature is implemented that is.

    Is this expected with how the local instance and federation work?

    I joined a music focused instance but I have interests outside of music. I’m reluctant to subscribe to too much non-music stuff because my understanding is it would cause my subs to populate the instances ‘all’ page for all other users on my instance.

    Doesn’t your situation just mean that someone else on your instance subscribed to NSFW stuff and those subs are very active?

    You can’t block an entire instance at this time but you can block a community, such ss !gonewild or !hentai

    You’ll have to do it manually for each one that is appearing for now but it should block those posts. Some other apps have filter options that can block posts using certain words (such as lemmynsfw) so maybe that will be an option with Liftoff in the future
