Are you using the *arr apps? https://wiki.servarr.com/

If you still want to see NSFW and just block porn communities, the best way is to go to your account blocking settings and block some lemmy domains.

• lemmynsfw.com
• pornlemmy.com
• lemmy.smeargle.fans
• alien.top
• ani.social

This takes care of most of the porn in here without fully removing all NSFW communities and posts.
