Just want to say thank you to Connect dev Kuro for making Connect for Lemmy. Amidst all this hype for Sync and Boost, Connect remains ad- and subscription-free without compromising quality. This app is bomb and I won’t be veering off to competitors anytime soon. Bonus points for being Canadian too! 🍁 Thank you!

Yes it’s under settings -> Block List. There you can block entire instances, communities, or users
You can also do it by hitting the 3 dots on a post or comment and select block instance
Awesome! Also someone else mentioned auto hiding of read posts. I can’t seem to find that in the settings.
Everything is looking good so far!
Edit: nevermond I scrolled past the “hide read posts” setting like 7-8 times.
Since i found it, i mostly use connect for browsing leemy but the “hide read post” being automatic and not when i choose is a bit of bummer. Voyager having a big button to hide them when i want is the better approach.
I ran into the issue where I would hide read posts, but when I scroll it will load more posts I’ve already read. I hide them, scroll a few more posts and again I’m seeing already read posts.
So far this has been eliminated in connect(just started using it) also the hide read posts is off by default in connect.
Honestly,there’s so many high quality lemmy apps right now that find myself jump constantly between 3-4 apps while i used to mostly use relay and sometimes infinity for browsing reddit. It seems all the lemmy apps are on a features race going on between them and they’re all improving at a rapide pace.
