It’s too bad people are talking of blocking at an instance level. Just because yiffit (and lemmynsfw) have a lot of porn posts at the moment doesn’t mean that’s the only thing they’ll ever do. I wonder if we could get like categories for instances, so yiffit-porn could be blocked without taking out the entire instance. Or even just a per-instance NSFW toggle.
Well they are talking about that because the necessary tools to block at a community level are not their at the moment.
They are either proposed to be added at a future date or being worked on for future iterations of Lemmy.
That or if a group of devs not tied to actual Lemmy development, decide to fork it and develop such a feature in their forked version of Lemmy, it will be a while before such a game changing feature like that makes it into the upstream.
