I was using connect which has a block instance I option I used but after switching to boost I’m now seeing those instances again and it’s a pain to block community by community because there are so many of them and they’re very active.

Did I miss the setting for this or is it not a feature of Boost?

    Blocking instances is not available in the Lemmy API. Boost has an option to not show posts from an instance on you feeds. Just tap the three dots on a post from a instance you don’t want on your feed, then select “Mute->Mute instance”

    You can mute an instance. I don’t think lemmy has the option to block an instance

      Thanks, I saw that after I posted and was going to reply that fixed it but for some reason I couldn’t find my post using Boost. I thought maybe I hadn’t actually posted it.

      Then I discovered that muting an instance isn’t working the same as blocking. I’m still seeing communities from those instances and having to explicitly block each so I think a block function for instances is still needed. Unless I muted incorrectly.
