How do I block an entire instance? (beehaw.org)

I'm not that interested in having porn on my feed but I don't want to disable NSFW either. How can I block an entire instance like lemmynsfw?

This works for things I'm explicitly interested in seeking out, but one thing I use this type of social media for is finding entirely new things that before scrolling past I didn't even know were things, or wouldn't otherwise seek out on my own or even know to look for. I don't have any objection to porn, but I also don't want to be scrolling past it on my phone with my kids around, even if it's blurred or minimized. Having to block each individual community as it pops up isn't feasable--being able to block by server (like a general block on lemmynsfw) would make general use so much easier.

Totally agree, but at the moment it’s the best Lemmy has to offer.

I don’t have any experience with kbin, but I’ve heard you can control which instances you see content from there and can also see/interact with content from Lemmy.
