Can I block people and communities from and entire instance? - lemm.ee

I just want do not see any content from a certain instance, as I prefer not to interact with them. Is that even possible? I know that I can do that on a community level, but I’m not sure if that’s account level or client level.

You can do it with certain apps. Sync I’m pretty sure does this but I’m sure others do too

This is asked multiple times a day. Instance blocking coming in a future release but as of right now it’s only possible in select apps. User and community blocking can be done anywhere.

It’s my turn to ask the question tomorrow morning, I call it.

Oh cool are we doin this now

Maybe they should make it a priority 🤷‍♂️

From what I’ve seen it’s fleshed out and will probably be a part of the next update.

As far as I know it cannot be done on the instance level yet. I’ve heard they are working on it. However, some clients will allow it, unfortunately I don’t have a list of which ones sorry.

Sync is the only app I know if that does that right now but I could be wrong.

Connect can also block at the instance level

Filing that info for later, thanks!

Have you tried looking in your settings?

That’s for users and communities, not instances.

This is probably not much help, but instance blocking is a feature on Sync For Lemmy app. Helped me filter out a whole bunch of feddit.xx instances in languages I don’t speak.

For note, this is an option on Kbin. You can go to /d/thedomain.com and block the whole domain

Is it Hexbear?
Show threadtsonfeirAug 17, 2023
It might be hexbear
Show threadJetpackJacksonAug 17, 2023
Is there some drama with hexbear? I’m out of the loop
Show threadMaungaHikoiAug 17, 2023
Hexbear is the third oldest Lemmy instance and the largest by user activity, but wasn’t federated until recently. A bunch of people joined Lemmy without realising it was built by socialists and communists, and are mad that they have to be in the same space as them even though they were here first and built/are still building the place.

Connect for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy support it. If anyone knows any other apps that do please let me know.

I have sync, is there a way to block all comments from an instance too?
Show threadcanAug 17, 2023
I’m not sure. I haven’t tried the filter feature. Maybe ask at [email protected] ?

This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.
