I wanted to bring more attention to @linuxFan@vlemmy.net’s comment on how to block entire instances (not just specific communities on those instances) from your “all communities” feed, as well as add my own method to block them from the “list of communities” page.
This only works if you are using a web browser that supports uBlock Origin (so unfortunately, will not work on any of the mobile apps).
Firstly, install uBlock Origin if you haven’t already. Then, click on the uBlock extension icon -> “Gears” (settings) icon -> My Filters. Per @linuxFan@vlemmy.net, add:
I believe the tr is table-responsive, which is the type of table displayed on the “list of communities” page. If there are other responsive tables on a different Lemmy page that I don’t know about, it may affect those. Also, if Lemmy’s website is updated, these filters may no longer work.
If someone knows of a better method of doing this, please chime in. But otherwise, enjoy!
Why YSK: some instances have many communities that are centered around topics people are not interested in, and instead of blocking all of those communities one by one, it is easier to just block the whole instance.
Edit: Note that this will remove posts if a blocked instance is listed ANYWHERE in the post body. I accidentally blocked my own post when I tested the lemmynsfw filter just now lol
