Not terrible thus far. Getting over a cold and am already sick of hearing about the Twitter rebrand, but otherwise better than the past few days.
Really starting to wish that Lemmy had a way to block entire instances. It feels silly that my choices are to either block everything labeled as NSFW (including discussions, comics, etc that aren’t necessarily sexual in nature but not appropriate for work), or have to block an endless sea of furry porn on the “All” timeline, one community at a time (no judgement, just not what I’m on Lemmy for).
Are you using an app? I'm using Connect for Lemmy and blocking instances is a feature.
I’ve been using wefwef, but I might check out Connect if that’s a feature. Thanks for the tip!
Lol I very much agree with the need for an instance blocking button. Feels like it should be a fairly simple filter for an @ pattern, but it's not like I'm a Lemmy dev, so it really could be an insane lift. There's been talk of it in various rooms, though I'm not sure the last time I've seen this topic on beehaw.
It does get easier after the first major purge. We're still a relatively small site so most of the porn comes from the same few places. I do agree though that it would be nice and easy to just block it.
I also wish there was some more granular control with how instances populate your front page either all or subscribed. As it is the meme instances tend to drown out a lot of everything else.
