Is there a way to block whole lemmy servers from your feed?

teft@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 121 points –

I don't want to block all nsfw content but I really don't want to have to block every new porn community that pops up on lemmynsfw. Is there a way to block all the communities that originate at lemmynsfw?

You can do it from kbin if you need a holdover until its built into lemmy.

Thank goodness you posted this I thought I was hallucinating. I have a kbin.social account and could have sworn I blocked a couple of instances but now I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it! Or what I blocked!

Things are moving and changing fast in the fediverse, keeping up can definitely be a challenge.

Navigate to /d/instance.to.block and you'll find a block button. You can also subscribe to all federated communities from the same page!

You're able to block all media hosted on lemmynsfw (such as pictures shared from there) from being shared on kbin, but it will not block out content that is shared but hosted elsewhere (such as a link to a video). Still better than nothing.

You can block all lemmynsfw posts on kbin by going to /d/lemmynsfw.com and using the block button. Not only will hosted content be blocked but text posts frim lemmynsfw won't show up either.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean, though.

To do so, go to the instance's Kbin address with this format: kbin.social/d/[insert instance name here].

For example: kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.

Then hit the block button in the upper right, under where it says domain.
