Is there a way to ignore all content from specific instances?

UndeadKernel@discuss.tchncs.de to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 24 points –

There's content coming from some specific instances that I'm not particularly interested in. When I'm browsing content outside of my local instance, can I prevent all content from one (or more) specific instance(s) from being displayed?

I don't know enough about how Lemmy works on the back end - but maybe something like a PiHole blocking all traffic to the domains of instances you don't like. I'm unsure if the device requests that data directly from the other instance or if the instance you're connected to retrieves that data and sends it as it's own.

All the data comes from your own instance afaik. So pi-hole wouldn't work

Bummer, but kinda suspected that with all the talk about lag between instances. Thanks for the info

As far as I understand, it’s the latter. So Pi-hole would not help you here at all.
