There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren't being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.

EDIT: I personally don't care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don't know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.

fwiw i blocked the lemmynsfw.com domain from view and I haven't seen a single instance of nsfw since

I can not find how to do that! I see in my profile there is a “domains” under blocked, but it’s empty and I can’t see how to add one. Where can I find block for a domain?

It's not entirely intuitive since your profile only shows you what you've blocked and doesn't give you the option to block things. You can navigate over to https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com and scroll all the way down to the bottom there will be a section with a header called Domain that shows the subscribed users, and two buttons, one for subscribe and one for block. This is how you block a domain. Repeat with links to other Domains that have content that aren't properly flagging posts as NSFW.
