I don't know if you use iOS. But I just found out the Memmy app has a filter instance option. I don't know if it works, but maybe you can give it a try.

If you use Android maybe hit up your favourite developer with a feature request? Seems like the fastest option atm.

That in itself isn’t rule breaking, just annoying, but the instance has communities which are sort of like travel agency bs, with straight up ads for hotels, plane tickets, and other services. I think they must’ve made like 300 posts in two or three hours, so they completely took over the feed.

Wouh, that's annoying for sure and to me sounds like spam!

So thankful to have the option to both block users and communities. Makes the experience a lot smoother!

I thought of a reason why someone might want to post any issues publicly here in !support instead of doing a report and that is if it is something that is not clearly breaking any rules and a users feels that this might warrant input from others, or a issue that might lead to a bit of back and forth and one wants to be able to expand on reasoning etc. Obviously at the end of the day the final say is with the lemmy.world admins and mods, so we all have to adhere to that while here. But yeah, that came to mind as a reason against reporting a post so wanted to mention it.
