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

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

[–] kariboka@bolha.forum 2 points 1 year ago

why block Lemmygrad?

[–] girl@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which app lets you block instances?

[–] zurchpet@lemmy.ml 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!

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yep I'm using connect

Doesn't block comments

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

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

True, good point.

[–] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

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

I thought you could only block communities?
