sirxdaemon comments on Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends Facebook

If you use Lemmy Connect, they added the option to block instances like yesterday.

Wait, an app can do this? I thought the devs of Lemmy itself needed to add the feature. I didn't think that was possible app-side without adding the feature to Lemmy.

How do you block an entire instance in their app?

Edit: Found it! This is interesting. I didn't know it was possible. Finally I can get the porn off my front page without getting rid of NSFW memes. Thanks!

Edit 2: Weirdly, Connect does not seem to show my newly subscribed communities in my subscriptions even though the other apps do. What a strange bug. Hmm...I think I'll hold off on using it until things like that work better for me.

I think I saw someone else mentioned that bug as well. I think your subscription list in the main menu doesn't automatically refresh after you subscribe to a new community so currently you would have to close and reopen the app. Updates and bug fixes have been daily lately so hopefully that gets fixed soon.

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to get newly subscribed communities to show up. Closing and reopening the app as you said doesn't seem to work for me. I have tried that and deleting and re-adding my account, but it doesn't seem to work. Once that is ironed out, it might be a nice switch. But it's a pretty big bug.
