Many newer Lemmy users still don't know they can block users, communities, and even whole instances they may not want to see in their feed or interact with.
This is a very basic guide to doing this on lemmy.dbzer0.com using the default web UI.
- Open your profile
Settingspage:
- Switch from the
Settingstab to theBlockstab
- From this page you can block by
User,Instance, orCommunity
That's all there is to it.
Edit: No offense to !truecomics@midwest.social for appearing in my community block list. It's just there as a (hopefully) inoffensive example.
I sought out and discovered this feature existed only last week right after I wondered if I could block all of hexbear.
Blocking an instance only blocks the communities and you have to block the users individually when they post on communities of other instances.
I'm hoping for an additional option to block all users of an instance to be added.
