I don't want any lemmy.nsfw posts on my All tab. And there are so many instances

My experience on Connect is that it puts up a "spoiler"-like filter on comments from users on blocked instances, giving you the choice in the moment of whether or not to reveal it. Super useful for blocking hexbear posts and giving me control over whether I choose to see hexbear user comments on posts on other instances

True, I don't like seeing hexbear posts but as long as the conversation isn't too political I don't mind seeing their comments in other threads. I like Connect's system

Being able to block Hexbear is the only reason I still use Lemmy.

Yeah, you can click to show, so it's not a huge obstacle. Still, I'd rather just have the option of showing them from certain instances, but I get that that would be a lot of work to manage.
