So say there’s an instance of people that are posting stuff I don’t want to see. Let’s call it sh.ee.haw.
Is there a way to block everything from popping up from there for me?
I’m on Jerboa
Unfortunately not. For now, the only way to do that is for your instance admin to entirely block that entire instance. Defederation, the nuclear option.
ATM, you can only block any given community. It’s one at a time, but do it each time you see a sub you aren’t interested in and you’ll quickly stop seeing them.
The option is in the threedot menu on Jerboa, on any post.
I think so. If I click on the three dots next to your post, I can block “asklemmy”. Should be possible for any community.
Dunno how jerboa displays it, but on the mobile site you can also find the community and block it via the sidebar
make your own instance and block it
you can block entire instances but you need admin rights, realistically this means running your own instance.
Ask whichever instance you’re on if you they can defedrate. They are probably going to say no. Practical solution would be to spin up a VPS and host an instance with no registration or communities just for yourself. That way you’re in full control of federation.
