For instance, can I block posts made to specific groups from my feed? Apologies, I’m a Reddit refuge and there’s a bit of content I’d rather not have to weed through.

I’ll see if I can talk you through it. Are you on your phone or desktop? Apple or android? Are you using an app or a browser?

Phone. And app I believe. It’s an iPhone. I see the three dots and when I select it- I see:

Submit Post

sidebar.

No option to filter or block.

Ok. On the Memmy app you search for communities select the one you want to block. Select the three dots and then block community. You’d need to do this for each community.

On the lemmy.world website on in safari, you click the three lines in the top right hand corner type “politics” in the search field select the community you want to block (community names are in green) open the sidebar tab and select “block community” .

I can’t find a way to block them on the wefwef app, but apps are updating and developing rapidly so it won’t be long before you can. I hope that helps!

I tried to add photos to each step for you but it will only allow one, sorry!

I'm guessing you may have been posting from the app...As a heads-up, it did allow multiple images to post, and it's visible when viewed via web browser. I'm almost inclined not to write what I'm about to write next, 'cause the current look of your post is like a wonderful artifact of this transitional time, but...Uh...

You might want to edit the post so the image links are below each sentence instead of mid-sentence. On the web view of things, it looks like you made a really fun abstract piece of text & screenshots, which is kinda fun to look at yet not the easiest to follow for info necessarily.
