How do I, as a user, block an entire instance from showing up in my feed?
I’ve noticed that a certain hate filled instance is showing up in my “all” feed and would rather not see losers complaining and hating.
Not yet available as others have said. It's been requested and the request was greenlit but it still needs someone to implement the feature: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397
You can’t - unless you own the instance in which case you can block other instances from federating with yours. However, it’s been a long requested feature so I’m sure it might show up at some point.
I suggest you either a) block individual communities b) switch to an instance that isn’t federated with them (yet). You won’t see their content if no one on the instance has tried to find their content before.
If the instance you're having a problem with is an egregious case, you could also make a case to your instance admins to defederate with them entirely, but this is kind of the nuclear option. If it's just a few users causing problems, rather than something the instance itself is promoting, that's probably overkill.
You can use uBlock Origin extension and add them into a filter so you won't see them or any specific words in feeds.
Then you can go into the Dashboard of the extension > My Filters and add in lines like this to filter out anything you want.
lemmy.fmhy.ml##.post-listing:has-text(TEXT_FILTER)The
TEXT_FILTERis case sensitive. So, you can make multiple lines with the same word if needed. If you want to filter an entire instance from showing up then you would put in@INSTANCE_NAMEIs
lemmy.fmhy.mlat the beginning the home/local users instance?Yes it is. And the
##after it says to only work on that site.
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Some apps support this I think.
You can also report posts to the mod of those subs and get the users banned. I'm not sure if they can can the entire instance though
Which instance is this?
What instance so I can avoid it?
