I wouldn’t like to actually block a community all together here, but yeah, I would like to see less posts of that community. Is there a way to do this, either in Jerboa or the web UI?

    That’s a lot of custom work that has to be redone if the UI changes. It’s better if it’s implemented in backend, in Lemmy source.

      If you have control of your instance’s backend, that’s definitely the better approach.

      Over on AT Protocol they have a system of pluggable algorithms. You can publish info on an “algorithm” to your account’s profile, and people can add your algorithm as a feed on their homepage, and then when they request their homepage their home server contacts your server and tells it a bit about them, and you send back a feed of posts.

      So people can customize the post selection and share those customizations without the instance/home server admin needing to be in on it.
