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.

Where are we at with being able to block entire instances? Is that capability being considered? (self.asklemmy)

It would be useful to get rid of the porn and furry stuff, and also beehaw, which - as I understand it - I can't communicate with.

In the meantime, you can block the communities which generate the most content you don't want.

Beehaw is easy to block, there are maybe 10 communities.

You can communicate with beehaw and other instances, thats the good thing with the Federation! Also you can block comminities, so I would just do that.

Lemmy.world is defederated with Beehaw. That means we can't see their new content and they can't see ours. However, we still have "ghost" versions of the Beehaw communities. Content there cannot synch. I think OP wants to block all of Beehaw so that the "ghosts" can disappear.

Ahh yea read something about beehaw being defederated after I commented. Is my bad

This would probably be something to create an issue with on the lemmy-ui github or lemmy github as a feature request
