When browsing through the whole fediverse, sometimes I see something that I didn’t want to see, and I especially don’t want to visit that community in order to block it. It’d be nice to just tap the hamburger menu and block it.

    Any idea how I can block all things under @hexbear? Everything coming from that instance is absolute horse shit.

      You can filter out posts from instances here: Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters

      It unfortunately doesn’t work with comments. But if I recall correctly the Lemmy devs are working on an official personal instance block for this use case.

      Apart from the obvious ones, I currently filter out:

      • lemmit.online (bots that repost random stuff from reddit, never anyone in the comments, which makes it boring.)
      • zerobytes.monster (same as above)
      • lemmynsfw.com (I don’t want to accidentally scroll past poorly tagged NSFW on public transport. It has not been a huge problem but better safe than sorry)
