Is there a way to follow an entire instance?

tehmics@lemmy.fmhy.ml to Jerboa@lemmy.ml – 20 points –

I'm on a smaller instance and being able to just add a larger one to my local tab would be great. Also is there a way to turn off nsfw blur?

No to both questions. 2 will be addressed, I don't know if someone already worked on it.

Would be nice if there was a way block a whole instance.

I know it's restriction on the platform side but maybe some instance filtering could be built into the app which could work then same way effectivley blocking visibility of a whole instance.

Just a thought and I don't know how many users would want/use it.

Pawb.social's Lemmy fork is talking adding both of those features, I'm not sure if jerboa could use those somehow, but all the duplication of work seems strange to me with Lemmy.

What would be the point? If the whole instance were bad actors youd want to deferate from them.

Because one use may object to the content or doesn't want to exposed to a certain instance but that doesn't mean the instance should defederate, that's an instance nuclear option.

Choice should be with the user not forced upon him.

Agreed. I don't want to see posts from the lemmy.nsfw instance, but I also don't want to restrict others from accessing it. I just personally don't want to see it. More the power to those that do.
