is there a way for me to block an instance?
So, I know I can block communities, but is there a way for me to block instances? It looks like some instances are becoming specialized in their content, which is great, and I think a way for the Fediverse to grow sustainably and healthy, but there's going to be instances centered around things I'm just not interested in. Is there any way for me to block them from my "all" feed?
Not at this point. Unless you run your own instance.
Not yet. Eventually it'll be a thing. That said, expect the ALL feed to be very messy. It's better for now to curate feeds via Subscribed timeline until that feature is implemented.
That said it should be trivial to create a userscript that filters out posts from certain remote communities as a sort of way to get around this limitation for now. Have a look at /c/[email protected] or submit a request there. Should be able to make it happen for Desktop and for browsers that support plugins like Kiwi on android.
Fair enough. Right now (but not for long, since the Fediverse is getting bigger!) I've been using all as a way to see what communities are out there, so I can subscribe.
I’ve been doing the same. All I would like to do is filter non english and then furry/anime shit 🤮
Mastodon has filters feature that allows you to hide temporary or permanently posts or profiles based on keywords - maybe well get something similar here in the future
YES I would love a filter feature on Lemmy. I used RES to do that before.
I started using it really late :C
