Would it be possible to filter an entire instance for posts?

I don’t mind comments from their users, but it’d be nice to completely hide posts based upon their default instance. (Yes, I could roll my own fediverse instance to defederate what I want to hide, but that is a lot of work for a layperson to do.)

    I want that as well, one of the German instances has a number of popular German communities, so I want to block them all (language barrier), but their users often comment in English elsewhere, which also gets blocked. I am using Connect, which lets you block by instance, but it’s a bit over aggressive.

    Not in the api from Lemmy. Your instance admin would need to defederate

      This is in the Memmy app, not for Lemmy as a whole. Mainly asking for client-side filtering of instances.

        Yeah I know. Memmy just requests what the api has. Maybe it’s possible client side, but then it might not be great performance wise.

        They’ve rejected keyword filtering already.
