Is there a way to block an entire instance?
I want to not have nsfw content in my feed and want to block lemmynsfw. I'm tired of scrolling past barely blurred photos on my phone so I can block a single board when the entire server is dedicated to porn.

Not exactly the answer to your question, but would unchecking "Show NSFW content" in settings achieve what you want?
I thought I had done that, but nope. I apparently didn't hit save at the bottom of the interface. Thanks for prompting me to double check.
I'm pretty sure currently only admins of the instance you are on can block entire instances for everyone, but I think such a move is a good idea to allow users to block entire instances too. Maybe making a suggestion for the lemmy developers for it would be a good idea if its not there yet?
There is a feature in your settings to disable nsfw content as well as mentioned too for the time being, but it won't block that entire instance unfortunately.
Yep, Admin Settings > Blocked Instances. Any instance in that list will not be indexable by your instance, so nobody can view or sub to any content on there.
Edit: Noticed you're on lemmy.world. You won't have access to this and I don't think users can filter content yet. You can disable the "Show NSFW Content" option in your user settings but that won't exclude the entire lemmynsfw instance.
Among what they mentioned, you can also block entire communities, so any time you see a post you don't like, just ban the community from your feed and in no time you will be free from what you dislike.
