Hey, wanted to follow up on this and let you know that I finished this up and it is now live. Community mods, when they are making or editing the post flairs in their communities, can toggle whether a post flair should blur the content or not. So, as a concrete example, I created a flair called Spoiler in !anime@ani.social, and if a post is tagged with that, then the images will be blurred.

Right now, this feature only works on piefed because lemmy doesn’t support post flairs at all. Additionally, there are some complications about post flairs that crop up when a community’s home instance is a lemmy instance. Basically, lemmy doesn’t federate out post flair at all. So, even if I am assigning post flair from piefed.social, it doesn’t federate out to other piefed instances because it isn’t federated out by the community’s home lemmy instance.
