Question on blocking, seeing user in "local" (self.mastodon)

submitted 1 year ago by mysoulishome to c/[email protected]

If I block a user should it prevent them from coming up if I’m browsing “local”? There is a user just spamming gross porn…I blocked and refreshed but posts don’t go away from the “local” feed.

Thanks for any help. I’m new obvs, loving Lemmy and trying to get into mastodon.

It should, what app are you using and what instance are you on?

Using icecubes…on mastodon.world. I think it worked it was just weirding me out and searching google doesn’t bring lot of detailed info on what blocking does. I kind of enjoy just viewing local and seeing what random people are posting but lots of stuff in Chinese and lots of weird porn 😂

I appreciate you answering me

I'd recommend you switch instances if it's all porn and Chinese. Like see where people you like are posting from (as long as the server doesn't have mastodon in its name)
