I’d like to block entire servers myself. But I can’t find a way to block the whole nsfw one. Individual communities yes, but I’d like to not see the whole server.
Just move to an instance that has defederated from major nsfw instances.
It would be nice if there was a directory that made it clear what server has defederated what.
Fragmentation and the lack of continuity and good navigation is seriously going to be what kills any chance a federated Reddit alternative has at becoming even 25% as large as Reddit was.
You can see what an instance has defederated by adding /instances to the URL of the instance. There's no way to see it for more than one instance (at a time) as far as I know, so yeah, have to agree with you.
Yeah, the only way defederation is a feature is if there's a way (even if it's standardized at the client-side) to merge that defederation for those who want a cohesive experience.
It'd almost be better if every user could pick their own "federations" instead of it being at the server level. Obviously the servers need to have that control and my hypothetical might not be in throwing range of what lemmy can/should do.
I read earlier today that at least one instance is defederated from lemmynsfw so you can try making an account on that/one of those..
Lemmy.ml is from what I know
Yeah, I was reading the comments like: what nsfw stuff? I don’t see anything ever. I’m on lemmy.ml only.
One of the nice things you can do on kbin, but I don’t think you can on Lemmy yet
Use a different instance, some block it
Find the hosts file on your machine. Add a line for the domain you want to block, like so:
lemmy.annoyingassholes.com 0.0.0.0
If that didn't make sense, google the terms I used and you'll find tons of tutorials.
Your suggestion is entirely missing the point. In this context, "blocking" means stopping anything from that instance from showing up in the feed when you view "All" from your home instance, not stopping yourself from navigating your web browser to that other instance.
