Is it possible to block entire instances? I see I can block by user or community, but not by instance.
This would be useful as there are some instances based around politics etc. that I don’t care about.
Currently the admins have to curate this for you through federation, although you can try and whack a mole individual communities from an instance. Heaps of people are asking for user level control of blocking instances and I hope it comes soon as there’s a couple instances I keep seeing federated into my feed that I find abhorrent, and this growth phase of Lemmy means new communities on those instances keep appearing.
Yeah user level control for instance blocking is something we need unless instances start sharing defederation lists.
Blocking communities isn’t the same because it only hides posts and not the bad users interacting elsewhere
I hear that you can if you host your own instance but that seems kinda technical.
That would be a useful feature
You can add UBo filters to block instances
Just logoff. Its easy to do.
