I'm making a mod which includes fences and walled, both of which connect to full blocks or block faces how ever they do not connect to other fences/walls. I read two other posts where the blocks were given tags to fix this, but I can't be bothered to do that as it would be extremely time taking since my mod will included a ton of new blocks including fences and walls.
Use tags, they are super useful.
I don't know how to use tags, and if I were to use tags on all of my mod elements I would end up spending a lot of time just on tags. I just hope that the developers can fix this issue in the next update or two.
First off, mods take time - and everything you learn will make your next mod easier to create. Having the tags set up from the beginning would make your job a little easier right now, however the task at hand is not even a 10 minute task. When I say tags a super useful, I also mean they are super easy to use as well:
FIELD [A] : This is the tag that you wish to add or modify.
FIELD [B] : The namespace is where the tag is 'located' - using "minecraft" will add to the existing vanilla tag, "forge" will add to existing forge tags that other mods can read such as ingot, nugget, etc, "mod" will add the tag to your mod namespace.
FIELD [C] : The tag type is just an extenstion of the tag registry name.
FIELD [D] : Elements under the tag - when adding to a tag (using forge or minecraft namespace), any element you add in the field will be appended to the existing tag. Using the mod namespace will create the tag and begin to fill the tag with the elements in the field. While searching for elements, you can use shift-click and ctrl-click shortcuts to select multiple entries at the same time - this will greatly reduce the time taken to add entries.
Resources for the Vanilla minecraft tags and Forge tags can be found below, and I hope this aids in your endeavours.

I see, thank you. I shall attempt this.
It has worked! Thank you for the help, however... is there no way to add a tag to a block directly? Adding it to the tag might become... rough.
No, you have to add it via the tag element you created.
fences work well, but walls don't want to connect
