I like to keep up with fresh content and new stuff, so I usually sort by new, top hour, or top 6 hour. The latter is usually good, but if course limiting. I find the the first two, however, are dominated by posts from lemmit.online. For those unfamiliar, this is an instance used by the lemmit bot to repost content from reddit. While some of the content is interesting, a large chunk of it is discussion posts where the op is on a different network entirely, such as aita or programming help requests.
I don't find these posts to be very... Quality. If it were a possibility, I would block this instance entirely. How do others feel about it? Am I taking too strong a stance? Is this content a positive contribution?

Instance blocking is apparently coming in a future update.

I blocked the bot, don't think it really needs more than that

If you use the Connect app for lemmy, it allows instance blocking
