YSK you can block Lemmy communities

When blocking communities, they will not show up in your "all" feed anymore. This makes browsing Lemmy nicer especially now that you might not subscribed to a lot of communities.

In the browser: In you Lemmy instance, click on your username (right upper corner), "Settings" and open the tab "Blocks" and type in the community you would like to block. Here you can also unblock communities

On Jerboa (Android): Open the community you would like to block, click on the 3 dotted menu (right upper corner) and click "Block Community". Note: you can not unblock on Jerboa. Use the browser (Settings -> Blocks) to unblock.

I wish we could block full instances that way. I blocked 30 different communities on lemmynsfw and every time I browse /all there are 10 new ones.

Now I'm not some prude snowflake, but my use case for lemmy (as it was for reddit) is simply the polar opposite, and having to block all of those titty farms individually is frustrating.

I wish we could block full instances that way.

Yes! I want to block beehaw. If they’re going to defederate 90% of the instances, I don’t want to see anything from them.

Ability to block instances at the user level should be coming in one of the next updates

I will happily accept a blocklist for all US politics, anime, gaming and Marvel.

Now we just need an option to block an entire instance. Not that I needed it so far, but think it would be good to have that option.

I wish this worked. I blocked several communities that are either not relevant / interesting to me or are in a language I don't understand, yet I still see their posts in "All".

For example, I blocked the Formula 1 community three times already.
