I’m enjoying my time on Lemmy so far, but to be honest, I don’t want to see the stuff coming out of Lemmygrad. Is there any way to block out whole instances at the user level?
While Lemmy itself does not offer this option, you may do it client-side if your client does offer this function, for example i can do it with Connect for Lemmy.
No but you can sing up on a instance that blocks them (lemmygrad is basically blocked everywhere)
This really annoys me. One nice thing on reddit was, that /r/all was a very usable collection if you just blocked the subreddits you didn’t like.
I really miss that feature :-(
I hope that changes here before too long. Like yeah we can block communities (subreddits), but because this is the Fediverse, there’s a whole layer of instances, too. And it’s not uncommon for there to be horribly toxic instances floating around. It would be great to not have to wait for instance admins to de-federate from them.

we can do that already? Then it’s missing in the app I’m using.
I’ll check the official web frontend of my instance.
We got an app for this? 😂 I thought it was work in progress since one page where I found one yesterday the links were broken. (Don’t remember anymore what site though) Where can I find one? Going to have to look little bit later on my own.
I tried Lemmur and Jerboa for Android from https://f-droid.org Both seem to be beta-ish.
I also saw a post here for an iPhone App but can’t remember the name.
EDIT: It’s called Mlem
I’m using jerboa, if you go to the community page of the community you want to block, then click the 3 dot menu, you can block the community from there.
That works. thanks!
Literally just don’t subscribe to that instance and you won’t see their posts.
That works if I browse only my subbed communities, but sometimes I want to explore by all. It would be nice to be able to explicitly say “but not these instances.”
