some apps and frontends let you filter posts and comments.
if you're in the browser: blocking an instance from your account settings will ~~block posts~~hide communities from that instance. this also has the benefit that you don't get notified when someone from a blocked instance replies to you or sends you a message.
to hide comments and other posts in the browser on the default frontend, i use a userstyle:
code
EDIT: corrections. more code. put inside a details block.
so blocking an instance from account settings forbids posts submitted to its' communities from appearing on my feed
the method you added forbids also comments of users of lemmy.world from appearing for me on posts that I view.
but what about these posts that are like: "@lemmy.world to <some community that I'm not blocking, or maybe even following>" is there a way to prevent them from appearing ?
for example this community: "[email protected]" I don't even understand what it is about but seems something USA specific. Yet I get posts from it appearing on my "all" feed whenever I login to dbzer0. And I notice a lot of these posts are from lemmy.world users and recently about U.S.A election,
There is also election in my country this year but I really don't care, I think it is a waste for my time to care about elections.
It is good though that we don't have republicans groups here, so half the problem is solved on Lemmy by default.
ah right, yeah. i updated my original snippet with the styling for hiding posts also.
there are neocon and alt-right instances, but they don't normally federate, or they're quarantined very quickly (usually for posting CSAM… hmmm…).
