I don’t think users can block an instance. But you can uncheck “show nsfw” in your settings.

Dang. I don't mind seeing nsfw content. I just don't want entire instances dedicated to it showing up in my feed.

I agree. I have it turned off for now because it was dumb seeing stupid porn, but I don't mind reading about other adult topics, and self-tagging NSFW stuff is obviously capriciously applied. What would be inappropriate to some is not to others. It would be nice to be able to control that more granularly.
