Can you block an entire instance?
Can you block an entire instance?
I've seen a few european instances that are completely irrelevant to me and in a different language and I'd prefer not to have them cuttering thinga up
Afaik, you can't block the entire instance yet, although some frontends or apps gives you ability to do that
There is an open request talking about it:
7You could technically remove those languages from your settings ? That would require people to properly indicate theirs but could cut on the clutter.
2Is not possible as of yet. The only solution is to defederate.
For now the only option is to block every community that you don't want to be seen individually. It is on the to-do list of the Lemmy devs though. But don't expect it in the near future.
2As I see now, Memmy for iOS has a block instance filter. I do not use it, but if you have iOS you can maybe give that one a try.

I use this usercript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
You need to edit line 17

2I had similar problem and want to block all communities from specific instance (lemmygrad to be precise). I used community search by instance name and block them one by one.
It would be great to be able to select all results and block with one close click.1Would love to know how to do this. My feed is full of German and Korean if I choose all. I'd love to be able to avoid seeing posts in other languages I don't speak or read.
