I'm on lemm.ee, in mobile, and can block instances.
Hamburger --> username --> settings --> blocks; scroll down to instances. I'm not using any app either, just the web "app" or w/e the tech term is.
the tech term is website
Beehaw seems to lack the option (can block users and communities, but not instances, is it a recent Lemmy setting that isn't on the version on Beehaw?), then again Beehaw is very strict on who it federates with so i expect the worsening of that instance will inevitably lead to their defederation
Yeah beehaw is also a separate software implementation that is mostly compatible with lemmy but still distinct. I'd recommend switching to a lemmy instance with permissive federation and curating your blocklist yourself with the instance block feature. That's why i picked lemm.ee, it has one of the more chill admin teams. In general as an anarchist i dislike the whole "rival fiefdoms" model of federation that lemmy has, would to make my own decisions. But it's still better than reddit lol
Oh no I'll stick with Beehaw, I'm in because of their principles, same reason why i believe .ml might likely end defederated
I wouldn't recommend this in general. The instances you block still influence things via comments and votes and posts in other communities.
Sorry I just find this kinda funny, aren't a lot of anarchists saying that "rival fiefdom" is exactly how society should function? But I guess anarchy is a very broad term so I might be talking about a different anarchy than you are talking about.
'Fiefdom' is a domain of a feudal lord, which would not be anarchist, by any definition.
If you simply mean that different groups with different sets of rules and outlooks exist, then sure, but that is abstract enough not to really be specific to the Fediverse; most other social media platforms also have some form of private groups too.
You're mistaken; Beehaw does use Lemmy software for now. I think maybe you're thinking of kbin/mbin instances, or maybe you heard about Beehaw planning to move off of Lemmy software and misunderstood.
Thank you for this! Unfortunately I don’t think that option is available on the app I’m using.
