A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Thanks! I actually mixed community and instance in my head and thought that that would block the entire instance.
Blocking communities is a feature in every client and frontend, while blocking instances... Isn't all that common.
But you'll have a hard time for a while browsing all by new, my blocklist is in the hundreds... Best practice is to sort by top day or top something, and subscribe to what you want, then later switch to subscribed list.
You can block individual communities. Instance blocking is left to admins of the instance.
Blocking an instance would be a much appreciated feature. I have no need to see anything from the Nazi instances.
Oh I hear ya, users should be able to block instances from their views, and de-federation (admin instance blocking) is just that.
Lmao you are right! I confused the two entirely. Thanks!
Lemmy Connect has a block instance feature and a regex filter feature in beta
