When the possibility to block instances will be implemented?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will probably work on it soon. Can make any promises though as there are always lots of PRs to review and other things to do which prevent me from coding.

Thanks a lot for your work.

What do you mean? Being on instance X federated with Y would you like to have the possibility to not see content posted by people from Y? Does the content include comments? (Imagine weird blank spots in the middle of conversation and people replying to non-existing for you message). Would you like to also not see Y in search results?

I suspect they mean blocking instances at the user level - Mastodon allows this.

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

I mean blocking all communities from an instance by a user. Currently, it's implemented on a client level in a few clients, but it obviously doesn't work for the web UI. Blocking all users from a certain instance is not that useful, I guess.

FYI: I use this usercript to block whole instances: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
