Is there really that much sports on Lemmy? For the longest time it seemed completely barren. Even now Soccer is just having stable but very minor activity. Formula 1 is fairly active though I guess.
And that just sounds like too much work. Much easier to see what you want to see on /subscribed and then put the phone away.
Every sports team under the sun has its own community; and redundant communities in multiple instances. No idea if those communities are active, or if they’re just made, spam /all for a couple days, then fizzle into the void, but I block em every time I see em.
Same with the furry porn instances having a different community for every breed of dog, or anime porn instances having a different community for… reasons? Idk there’s no way anime porn is actually that varied, but there are an absolute shitload of them on my block list.
Anyway, yeah it’s a lot of work all together, but it’s nothing in the scope of a single setting - every time I whip the phone out and browse for a few mins, if I see another one I don’t like, I just take the few seconds to block it. Rinse and repeat every time, and it adds up.
I don’t even know how to block an instance, but even if I did, idk if I like the idea of just nuking that much content in one swoop.
Also would that block posts from users of that instance in other instances (like if one of them posted in this comment chain)? I have nothing against the folks who do enjoy that stuff - I don’t want to see the furry crap in my feed, but someone from a furry instance posting non-furry crap elsewhere is fine.

Most of the furry and anime porn is on a dedicated instance, just block that and you’re done.

No, just the posts, I don’t think you have the ability to block comments from one instance.
And if an entire instance is dedicated to NSFW content, the chances of missing something good are slim to none.
I use Boost, I’m not sure if it’s an app feature or a platform feature.
