IS there any way to block an instance entirely from the user level?

I, personally would like to block https://lemmynsfw.com/ from showing up in the communities feed. Anyone know if this can be done from the block list?

You can't do it within lemmy itself, but the Android app Connect for Lemmy can let you block instances while you are accessing lemmy through the app.

I would imagine that when it goes to render a post, it checks against your block list and then just... doesn't display it.

It will supposedly be open sourced at some point in the future.

Not yet sadly, but I think the feature has been requested on Github.

The Thunder app on Android allows me to do it.

My feed is now devoid of everything I have no interest in. Memes, shitposts, sport, foreign language all gone. It's nice now.

I do not believe there is.

I wish. If only I could block all comments from certain instances too. Lemmy is still young, hopefully one day.

This community is not for support, please have a look at the sidebar

Create an account on Kbin; Kbin has this feature and lemmy does not.

Just to clarify: We have the ability to block domains. Doesn't work quite the same way as one would want an instance block, however. Have tested it out lol

That being said I do believe a proper instance block is in the works for kbin according to ernest.

That doesn't work. You can block it but the communities on that instance will still show up. I tried that already with that furry instance. lemmynsfw is still defederated though, so you won't see it on kbin anyway.
