There's a certain community there that I'd like to filter because a) I find the content/discussions to just be generally awful circlejerky nonsense and b) it's polluting the "All" section that I like to browse.

Can I block a whole instant? I don't want infinite porn on my all page

Unfortunately not at this time, but it's been a widely requested feature so I hope they add it before long.

Block the user and the community. If you have memmy for iOS you can block the community also

Some apps have it but not the website.

I just read in another post that you can do this in the Connect app, in settings.

Using jerboa, I click on the community and use the block this community function in the three dots option top right of the screen, I suppose it is available to whatever you use to browse lemmy ?

Using memmy you can do the same. Top right corner, click the 3 dots and click Block Community

Voyager (previously named wefwef) recently added this feature too

In the dropdown menu of a post from this community there should be an option to block the whole community.

I'm not seeing it anywhere? I wish there was just a simple "filter" button or the equivalent of RES for Lemmy.

You are right, sorry. ~~Seems like that was only on Jerboa.~~

EDIT: In the settings there is a block tab where you can add communities to the block list.

Thank you very much, that worked perfectly! Finally I no longer have to see this community's content.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

it really should be an option next to any subscribe button, great feed curation is about subtraction as much as addition.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think you just go to the 3 dots, open the community the post is from and then "block" but I'm new here and having a hard time as well.

I still see posts I saw the day I signed up a week ago, even though they have no user comments or any sort of engagement, even if I've already downvoted (or whatever the term here is). Most of my "all" is stuff I saw days ago and didn't like then either. I have blocked a few places (some more than once, maybe because I am on two different Lemmys?) But it's not going well.
