I’d love to browse “all” but so far my experience has just been a slew of porn, languages I don’t speak, and other stuff I have zero interest in seeing in my lemmy-based doomscrolling.

None of it is anything I think beehaw should defderate from. It’s not wrong or against beehaw’s standards. But for my idle time, it’s just noise that gets in the way of finding anything else interesting.

I did some googling and it looks like this sort of thing is being looked at for lemmy as a whole, but I was hoping someone may have a trick to do it without the lemmy system supporting it directly.

On desktop, I could easily add a userscript to remove the instance domains, but not so much on mobile apps.

Am I alone in this frustration?

    The Connect app on Android has a block instance feature now, thankfully! I was having the exact same issue with all the porn and posts in languages I don’t speak. I’m so thankful for this app and that feature. The dev is really good about listening to and implementing feature requests like that and I highly suggest the app.

    Now, that doesn’t solve the problem on Desktop or other apps, but it’s very helpful and I think it’s the best we’ve got right now.

      Maaan I got so excited by this and grabbed Connect. It was great until I saw it completely blocking comments in threads by users from those instances. :(
