A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

    How do you filter out an entire instance as a single user? I was just trying to figure that out the other day, but it didn’t appear possible.

        Ah, thanks. I had to scroll down a ways because my individual community block list was large enough to push that one out the bottom of the page I guess.

          Note that that approach doesn’t actually block the users from that instance, only the communities.

          To block user content leaking through that block, there’s apps like Connect or Sync, or the Lemmy alternatives PieFed and Mbin, which additionally offer a number of advanced features that Lemmy does not have such as Categories of Communities (but you’d have to switch instances to access those).

            Apparently I earned a site wide ban from lemmy.ml, but their posts keep showing up here. Annoyingly, I learned that when you get banned the “block community” button is hidden, so you have to add each community you want to block manually. So just blocking the entire instance solves my problem.
