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.

  1. Open your profile Settings page:

  1. Switch from the Settings tab to the Blocks tab

  1. From this page you can block by User, Instance, or Community

That’s all there is to it.

Edit: No offense to [email protected] for appearing in my community block list. It’s just there as a (hopefully) inoffensive example.

    I would like to have an option that works like the instance block feature on connect. It blocks the instance and then puts a “comment hidden due to blocked instance: exampleinstance.net” which lets you know that its there and gives you the option to unhide that comment if you want to know what it says.
