Created a script that will block all communities from an instance (github.com)

I was inspired to try writing my own Python script for Lemmy after seeing some other scripts on here and seeing Plemmy.

With this script, you can specify multiple accounts to have communities blocked on. You can also specify multiple instances to block all communities from.

This might be a little niche, but I wanted an easier way to block everything from some specific NSFW instances. This is my first "real" python scripting project, so any feedback is appreciated!

Great idea! I'm guessing it will have to be re-run on an instance after new communities are created on it? Ultimately I think Lemmy needs a native way to block an instance from your feed, but this seems like a good option in the meantime.

Yeah, one can hope that they will implement a native way to do this, but in the meantime, we have to find our own way. At least we can make things like this for ourselves!
