I can block instances. It takes like 2 seconds

Maybe your app lets you, but there's nothing in Lemmy that let's a user so this

Which app lets you block instances?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Connect for Lemmy lets you block instances.

I have heard a lot about the other apps, but this is the first time someone is using the same app as me! Connect is fuckin great!

Doesn't block comments

I've blocked lemmygrad on connect, but their posts still show up on this community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

why block Lemmygrad?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I thought you could only block communities?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah I don't get why people get upset. Just block it if you don't want to see it.

That's fine for communities, but Lemmy doesn't actually let a user block an instance. Some let you hide instances, but that's still not helpful to desktop/browser users

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

True, good point.

Some people also use Lemmy on a PC. Also blocking instances in Apps just hides posts from there, but doesn't stop the comments.
