Many newer Lemmy users still don't know they can block users, communities, and even whole instances they may not want to see in their feed or interact with.

This is a very basic guide to doing this on lemmy.dbzer0.com using the default web UI.

  1. Open your profile Settings page:

  1. Switch from the Settings tab to the Blocks tab

  1. From this page you can block by User, Instance, or Community

That's all there is to it.

Edit: No offense to !truecomics@midwest.social for appearing in my community block list. It's just there as a (hopefully) inoffensive example.

I sought out and discovered this feature existed only last week right after I wondered if I could block all of hexbear.

    Blocking an instance only blocks the communities and you have to block the users individually when they post on communities of other instances.

    I'm hoping for an additional option to block all users of an instance to be added.

    I would like to have an option that works like the instance block feature on connect. It blocks the instance and then puts a "comment hidden due to blocked instance: exampleinstance.net" which lets you know that its there and gives you the option to unhide that comment if you want to know what it says.
