I have a problem now that there are some active communities that I have no interest in seeing on my feed. And new ones keep popping up so I have to go in and block them individually. They all have similar keywords and it would be nice if we could block communities based on regexp or a keyword

Also would be nice if we could block an instance entirely from our personal feed

Yeah I've been asking for this feature too, imo it's one of the necessary features for long term survival of Lemmy as a concept, users should not have to rely on instance admins to curate their experience in that way.

You can already block communities, why would you want whole instances?

Well if you want an example, I don't want porn in my feed, at all. So the ability to block lemmynsfw and that new furry one would be a simpler solution than me having to manually go to every single community on their instance and block each one, one at a time.
