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?

      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.

              That is kind of what I mean but I don’t really want block all NSFW because sometimes it’s not porn and I might want to see it.

          Echoing the other person, I personally may not want to see content from one particular instance and would be in favor of defederation, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that all other people on my instance would agree.

      Yep. This is pretty much a core issue that breaks the utility of federation and selects for larger more fragile instances across the lemmyverse.

      It basically makes it practially impossible for smaller instances to gain any kind of meaningful traction.

    With mastodon, the fedilab client lets you add tabs to see the local feed for another instance, which is pretty useful. I could see a lemmy client could provide a similar feature, without it being built into lemmy itself.
