I’ve fired up my own Lemmy instance, but am keeping it closed right now. It’s mainly so I don’t contribute to the user load on the more popular instances, but I may open it up to a circle of friends and family at some point in the future.

But, one of the things that has me worried right now is how I could prevent illegal/unwanted content from being cached on my instance.

Aside from blocking entire instances, how can I stop a user from subscribing to a remote community that includes illegal/unwanted content?

What if they sub to an acceptable community (this one, for example) and someone posts something that escapes the mods’ attention temporarily, but that content ends up on my instance?
