Sync for Lemmy @lemmy.world drekly @lemmy.world 1y ago

Could we have a "Block community" option within the post options menu?

When browsing through the whole fediverse, sometimes I see something that I didn't want to see, and I especially don't want to visit that community in order to block it. It'd be nice to just tap the hamburger menu and block it.

FYI, I've already submitted this as a feature request on the Sync for Lemmy GitHub.
3 dots on post > Filter
- Filter is not block though, if you open the instance on your browser, you still see them. Only if you actually block them, they are gone.
  
  Then this isn't a Sync feature request, it should be a Lemmy feature request
  
  Ah my mistake, I didn't know that!
I too would like Sync to be able to read & write to the blocked community list on my Lemmy account.

I currently use Connect for Lemmy to do this.
Maybe I'm just having a stroke here, but I could swear I'm already blocking communities I don't want to appear. Let me check...

Edit: yeah, settings/general/filters. I have a few things filtered out, like hexbear, or whatever it's called. You can hide based on user, keyword, domain, instance, and community.
rn to block a community, you have to open it. maybe this could be ported to the 3 dot menù.

or the block and filter functionality can be merged and ported into lemmy.
