i wish us users could afford such luxury of blocking certain instances on our own.
That would be very welcome indeed, I agree!
Allow a user to block an instance #2397
You can contribute, encourage others to contribute, post a bounty or leave a thumbs up, or wait.
Another option is to block communities, you can already do that on your own.
yea, guess i ll wait. for exemple, when i m in lemmygrad (please dont judge me lol) i can see comments from explosive heads users, which unfortunatly, my instance (lemmy grad) is still federated with them, but also i dont wanna block a user from them each time i see one, i dont really wanna hear from them. yea, but this is much bigger than a community, this is a whole instance, hence the question. thought i should be vocal about this feature. i guess i wasnt the first one to suggest. thank you for linking me in to the github page.

Both see exploding-heads.com blocked by lemmygrad.ml, apparently since 2023-06-15. Are the comments you see older than this? You shouldn't see any e-h activity on lg communities after that date. Or you're viewing the local copy of a lemmygrad community on exploding-heads, but in this case you should only see e-h comments after that date.
I think that functionality will eventually be added when the devs get around to it.
