Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I don't think you can use Lemmy's user-level Instance blocks for what you want. The assumption is that if you're blocking an Instance, you don't want to see either the communities or the people. There's a bit of compromise happening that appeases the majority: you can't block the replies from physically existing, but you can at least prevent being notified of them.
It might be better not to use the Instance block, and individually block all ml's communities. This would be ball-ache to do by hand, but is scriptable via the API (you'd just have to rerun your script occasionally to catch newly-created communities)
Blocking all these communities would be difficult for the user but also it would create more load on the server which i don't want to do.
Hmmm. Well short of running your own server and hacking away at whatever platform it's running, I think you're looking at a Feature Request for Lemmy devs (for an option to be included with blocking Instances, to hide/show reply notifications from that instance's users)
