I'd love to be able to block an entire instance. Can this please be added to Jerboa?

So that you don't need to seek out "which instance isn't federated with [instance I would wish to defederate from had I the ability]" and can instead simply click "block instance." And could do this without hosting my own whole ass instance.

Say another NSFW instance pops up and gets really popular...but it's only furry and futa, and a lot of it, and new communities all the time pop up for vore, and guro, etc. Sure, one can whack-a-community everytime one pops up if they don't want that being prominent in their all tab, or they can just click "block instance" and keep it pushing. It isn't something bad enough I feel I could (nor should) bother my instance admin about defederating, and if he disagreed with me I'd like to not have to create a whole new ass acct just to not see c/specificguro pop up on my shit after banning c/guro and c/leftguro, and I don't want to block all NSFW because A) It isn't always porn, that tag is sometimes used erroneously, and B) I'm cool with some titty, but cockvore is a little much.

Tbh how do you not see the need for this?

Because I'm okay with blocking communities and not defeating the purpose of federation by blocking whole instances.

Sometimes, you need to block whole instances. Would it make more sense to you if I said instead of porn they were right wing?

Furthermore, not everyone is you. Other people want to do different things sometimes. Just because you're fine distrohopping around lemmy or being stuck blocking new communities like a game of whack-a-mole doesn't mean everyone wants to do that. Mastodon has this feature, and they're doing just fine with it, it won't kill the federation to allow people one more cunt hair's worth of control over the content they see.

That's fair. I sometimes need to remind myself that just because I know or think something doesn't mean that others do too. It comes with the ASD.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
