I'm blocking each and every one of them, and just wait for the day when any app comes with a filter by instance instead of by community. I don't get the appeal with porn on social media when there are free websites entirely dedicated to it, in better quality, and with more frequent updates.

Agree, and they've allegedly banned some of their most extreme communities.

It's now the officially only instance mine has defederated from. Disgusting creeps.

Ideally you'd boot into a separate OS without internet connection, or if it's checking for that, log into a secondary steam account not linked to your original one in any way.

Liftoff had some bugs with link handling and message replies so I switched to Thunder, and it's been great with a very active and responsive developer. Still, the second sync is out, I'm back to my roots.

I switched from Jerboa to Liftoff after every singe update they introduce breaks something new and they don't fix existing issues. My current biggest issues with Liftoff is the very un-smooth scrolling, that hard-coded bright blue, and that you can change font size for headers and sub-headers, but not general text. I'd like it to be 1-2 notches larger, on a phone with large display it's getting a bit small.

It's a temporary workaround, but not really a permanent fix. There's NSFW other than porn, and I don't necessarily want to block everything 18+.

I wish we could block full instances that way. I blocked 30 different communities on lemmynsfw and every time I browse /all there are 10 new ones.

Now I'm not some prude snowflake, but my use case for lemmy (as it was for reddit) is simply the polar opposite, and having to block all of those titty farms individually is frustrating.

Yep, same. For that reason I never really managed to get into mastodon, tried it for a bit and found the signup system too convoluted, then dropped it altogether. Though granted, I also never used Twitter, never understood why people liked it (and still don't), so I tried mastodon out of curiosity, not actually looking for something.

With Lemmy it's all different. I feel like I need to leave reddit and find a new community, so there's an inherent desire to like it, which makes the adaptation way easier.

Yep, I agree. Joined through an instance run by a friend, so we might be able to tweak it locally, but unless we suggest it as a feature in git and merge it into the main built, I don't see that coming as a default setting.

Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.

Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.
