Am I correct in assuming that blocking a community stops it from showing in your feed? I see a lot of posts from communities in languages I don’t speak and would like them to not show up on my feed. So I blocked a few, but I’m not 100% sure if what I did has the intended effect.

(Maybe it’s just because to me, blocking a person seems like something I wouldn’t do to someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, haha XD)

    Communities or users, yes. I found the latter to be more productive when you want to rid your frontpage (is there an established term for that on lemmy just yet?) of porn, for example, since there are a few accounts (bots, most likely) cross-posting their NSFW stuff over several instances and communities. Tried blocking those individually first, but the content pops up elsewhere again.

      Hmm, thank you. Yeah, I kind of like to see posts from different communities pop up because I’ll learn about new communities that way, but on the other hand I’ve been seeing posts I’d rather not see. Is there a NSFW filter on Lemmy?

        Yes, in your profile. Go to profile in the upper right of webpage, there is a checkbox to block NSFW.

          Ah, just found out it was already checked! Thanks for sharing!

      There is flag in your account settings to exclude bot posts.

        I don’t want to exclude all bots though, some are useful. I hope that lemmy will develop to a point where it’s giving you more nuanced options.
