Just transferred all of my subscriptions and blocks from my older, former main account on another instance and I have to say I couldn't be happier that Sopuli is not federated with lemmynsfw and such, my block list for communities was in the four figures over there and here it's hundreds and hundreds less. I'm so happy for being able to scroll All without having to play whack-a-mole with a billion porn communities most of which have and ever will only have the one active person. Every, goddamn, time. I literally had a mental checklist of searchwords I'd go through once a week or two and it'd be dozens and dozens every week and even that didn't cover it.

Just wanted to post if there is ever a question of whether to federate with instances like this. Especially as long as there is no way to block instances. It really makes a maaaasssive difference.

At least when using Lemmy through browser, there is no functionality for an user to block a whole instance. Instance admins can only block whole instances. Third-party clients may have that functionality. The main reason why Sopuli is defederated from LemmyNSFW is that they allow porn, and Sopuli doesn't federate with instances that either allow porn or are dedicated only for it.
