There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren’t being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.

EDIT: I personally don’t care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don’t know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.

    Given that folks are saying the main source is an instance called lemmynsfw.com, perhaps it would be useful to have an option to set an entire instance as having that flag? I’m foreseeing a future where instances tend to be subject-specific so something like that seems like it’d be pretty handy.

      Is there a way to block an entire instance? Because in my kbin.social settings I have “hide adult content” turned ON and yet I keep getting posts from lemmynsfw in my feed and my sidebar of random recent posts.

            OK, I saw that, but most of the content of lemmynsfw is not tagged as NSFW. How do I block a complete instance?

            edit: I just realised that I was answering to the same person who asked the exact same question, sorry. Still new to this

                You can visit domain page, as you would magazine page, and there is a button to subscribe to it or block it. Here is the link to domain page of lemmynsfw.com, but be warned - you’ll see the post from that instance and some of them might not be properly tagged, so consider it NSFW despite your settings https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com. That should block entire instance (and i think the magazines/communities you are subscried to are exempted from this block, so you still see those)

                    In my experience as a programmer the user interface always lags behind the features. I’m sure it will get easier to use these things soon given how much attention is being focused on it now.
