Ability to block/filter certain Lemmy "subs" (lemmy.ca)

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So I came here from Reddit, and I was using the Apollo app. It had a cool feature that let you basically “reverse subscribe” subs, so that posts from them didnt pop up at all when browsing All. Is this something that can be implemented for Lemmy?

You can do it right now if you go to the community page sidebar (where you would normally subscribe) but hit "block" instead. But this isn't ideal, I would prefer something closer to what you're asking for which is more of just a way to hide the posts from showing up in the main feed without going as far as blocking them.

Is there a way to block instances? The tankie spam is getting out of hand.

I've noticed that most of that spam is only coming from a few specific users, so I just block them and most of it goes away.
