I tried blocking kbin.social because spammers are posting a lot of junk there but I couldn’t find it while searching in “Add instance” search popup.

is it because it’s not a lemmy instance?

It would be nice if we could.

    I would really like to manually add an address, even if it can’t be found. Not just be regulated to a picker.

    One example, I want to purposefully block lemmygrad.ml. But because lemmy.world defederated from it, it’s no longer a valid option. I want to block it at the app level anyways in the event my instance chooses to refedrate.

      I don’t think this is possible. To block you need to provide lemmy the instance ID.

        It doesn’t need to push upstream to your lemmy home instance; it could just be a local filter.
