Am I correct in assuming that blocking a community stops it from showing in your feed? I see a lot of posts from communities in languages I don’t speak and would like them to not show up on my feed. So I blocked a few, but I’m not 100% sure if what I did has the intended effect.
(Maybe it’s just because to me, blocking a person seems like something I wouldn’t do to someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, haha XD)
You can also block whole instances/servers by clicking on the domain and blocking from there. It looked like a bunch of furry stuff was being posted to a specific server earlier so I block it and I haven’t seen anything since
Not on lemmy. That is a kbin feature for now.
That furry spam was infuriating. Especially since on Kbin, you have to navigate to the specific domain itself using the Kbin interface, which means seeing more furry porn.
While it’s just annoying in the case of furries getting to shove their fetish in peoples’ faces, it poses a serious issue in case there’s a domain that starts posting less-than-legal porn or whatever - in some jurisdictions, even having that in your browser cache is a crime, so specifically having to look at all the content from such a domain is… sub-optimal.
Shout out to furries though. I learned how to block magazines day one thanks to them.
Oh, you can? That’s really good to know! Thanks for the tip!
You can on kbin, not on lemmy.
Okay, thanks!
That applies specifically to kbin (note that the user you replied to is on kbin). It is not a feature yet available in Lemmy, though I imagine it’s coming.

That doesn’t seem to work 100% for me. I tried blocking feddit.de (no offense, I just don’t speak German) and still get Ich_lel in my feed all the time
