How can I block meme, political nonsense anti-social posts, and shitpost instances?

Is there a way to do it with Infinity for Lemmy? I saw a tutorial for using unlock but I use android apps for lemmy. I want to shut out the basement dungeon naive political kids.

You can block instances with Connect

Also the bootlickers that talk about rights for people but then spout GOP rhetoric.

Where on lemmy do you see that?

[–] ineedaunion@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Look around. Lots of it. Day by day it's beginning to get like Instagram in here.

I'm going to quote my old comment here:

Afaik, you can't block the entire instance yet, although some frontends or apps gives you ability to do that

There is an open request talking about it:

The ability to do this would solve a lot of the defederation drama that Lemmy is currently going through. This has got to be high up on the devs’ priority list.

it depends on the app you are using, sync and connect can. maybe others app have this functionality too, but idk

I'd also support this ngl. I'm trying to defederate from Hexbear as a bit but I don't understand the github.
