When blocking communities, they will not show up in your “all” feed anymore. This makes browsing Lemmy nicer especially now that you might not subscribed to a lot of communities.

In the browser: In you Lemmy instance, click on your username (right upper corner), “Settings” and open the tab “Blocks” and type in the community you would like to block. Here you can also unblock communities

On Jerboa (Android): Open the community you would like to block, click on the 3 dotted menu (right upper corner) and click “Block Community”. Note: you can not unblock on Jerboa. Use the browser (Settings -> Blocks) to unblock.

    I wish we could block full instances that way. I blocked 30 different communities on lemmynsfw and every time I browse /all there are 10 new ones.

    Now I’m not some prude snowflake, but my use case for lemmy (as it was for reddit) is simply the polar opposite, and having to block all of those titty farms individually is frustrating.

      Ability to block instances at the user level should be coming in one of the next updates

        Is there a roadmap anywhere? I looked at joinlemmy and it’s only showing vague news instead of a clear, concise roadmap. Oh and yeah, blocking instances is critical. Really annoyed with socialist spam.

          I don’t know of any formal roadmap for all major upcoming changes/features, no. Sorry!

      I would love to be able to block lemmygrad in its entirety. As soon as we get that feature I’m using it. Like you said, it’s too tedious doing it by community.

      Same for me. I don’t need to see nudes in my feed when I’m at work or some public place.

      In the android app there is a setting called “show NSFW”. I’m not sure if it really not fetching it or just not showing. Could be important if you are using it on a work phone.

      Yes! I want to block beehaw. If they’re going to defederate 90% of the instances, I don’t want to see anything from them.

      It should eventually be condensed into a whitelist(subscribe) / blacklist(block) function, with more granular controls.

      It would be awesome if we could use regex, too: like adding *@assholes.instance to the blocklist and add linux@* to the whitelist.

    Now we just need an option to block an entire instance. Not that I needed it so far, but think it would be good to have that option.

    I wish this worked. I blocked several communities that are either not relevant / interesting to me or are in a language I don’t understand, yet I still see their posts in “All”.

    For example, I blocked the Formula 1 community three times already.

    I will happily accept a blocklist for all US politics, anime, gaming and Marvel.
