So, a lot of features are coming next update to help alleviate some of the annoyance of federating with NSFW instances.

For context, I defederated from the NSFW instances because they clutter the absolute FUCK out of /all. I mainly anticipated federating with them in time when it could be hidden from /all, but domain blocks seem to be coming next update at least as well as disabling remote image caching.

Would yall be ok if I refederated? Or should we wait a bit more for community silencing and hiding as well.

    Lemmy already hides NSFW content by default, with an option to enable it in the user settings. The upcoming feature to block instances sounds great, but even without it, I have not had issues with NSFW content on my /all feed. I’m new here but I’ve been using a different instance with a very open federation policy, and the worst I get in /all is non-nude celebrity pics, and it’s not a ton.

    Is your experience that NSFW instances clutter /all with posts that are not tagged as NSFW?

    I think it’s fine to federate with any server that has good administration and moderation.

    Anyway, I think you are approaching this correctly, and I see no harm in waiting a little longer to see how the new features play out in practice. It sounds like clients will all need to be updated for lemmy 0.19.
