I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

I don't understand why blocking (or "defederating") instances is such a core part of the design of lemmy but not actually supported on a per-user basis.

    Defederating is core to the fediverse. Lemmy just uses a shared protocol to exchange content. And as others have said, Kbin has instancr blocking, community/magazine blocking, and user blocking. You could just create an account on a Kbin instance if it's important enough. You still get to see the same things.

    Kbin doesn't have instance blocking yet, just domain blocking, which is for hiding posts that link to a particular domain. Domain blocking is also bugged right now, and will just hide random stuff from you.

    I mean, if you want to get technical, none of them have any blocking really. Blocking on any fediverse is generally just the equivalent of muting/hiding.

    Wasn't aware of the bug though (as I haven't tried the feature yet, but probably wouldn't have a way to notice anyway).
