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'm using connect for lemmy and a few weeks ago I ended up blocking entire instances because of lemmyshitpost and some variants. No regrets so far, and browsing Lemmy got so much better.
