Is there a way to block posts from an instance from showing up on my post feed? Lemmygrad has gotten to be a bit much over the past week or so. I know I can block communities, but I would rather not play wack a mole there.
Wait, one can block communities? How do I do that? It has only been GenZedong that has gotten a bit too present in the All page and is really the only one I want to hear less from.
On the web version, go to your own profile, there’s a tab for blocks, you can add communities there. Haven’t found a way to so it from the community page yet.
Thanks!
I did it through the web UI. It can be done through the mobile web UI as well.
I asked this question when I first made a lemmy.ml account and was told to start my own instance and dont include them in my list of federated instances.
I have yet to do that and have since just blocked genz dongs and call out bs when it leaks out into other lemmygrad cummunities
My solution was setting this in my settings:
Yep, this or setting your default view to local is the way to go.
There also aren’t too many active communities on lemmygrad, mainly about 3, so you could alfo block them individually.
In the app i can set it to show me only posts local to lemmy.ml, this doesn’t block the instance, but it keeps them from dominating the feed. Presumably the site can also do this?
I do want the posts from the other instances. I just don’t want to get spammed by Lemmygrad. I just took the wack-a-mole approach and it seems to be working okay.
I think that this is the better solution for the problem you mention.
I was just looking at that! I will definitely look into applying.
How can you block them in mobile browser? I am still in a position where I am unable to even wackamole yet lol
You can always go back to reddit
I’m on both, but thanks for the helpful suggestion!
