You can also try out kbin as a Lemmy alternative, as it's fully federated with Lemmy and lets you block domains.

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Thanks! Should be built in to easily block an entire instance
Very useful, thank you for sharing!
Also if someone isn't using ublock origin yet, please do! It's essential to browse the internet these days
Pihole is great
Those two are not mutually exclusive, so both could be used at the same time.
Bless your soul my child. I can now get rid of lemmygrad.
What's wrong with lemmygrad? Serious question since I'm out of the loop.
It's essentially a community that promotes left wing extremist ideologies and is very much in favour of authoritarians who don't like democracy. Lots of hate for the west, lots of whataboutisms and lots of love for Putin and Xi and lots of excuses for the invasion of Ukraine and the Uyghur genocide. I'm left leaning but they have more in common with fascists than anything else.

how do i save this post on kbin?
FYI, Kbin lets you block entire domains natively, though in a roundabout way.
Looks like you're using kbin.social, so you would put https://kbin.social/d/domain_you_want_to_block in your address bar, which brings up that entire instance (including lemmy instances) as a magazine. Then just block in on the right, the same way you would block a community/magazine.
You can check which domains you've blocked in your settings. Go to Settings > Blocked > Domains.
uBlock Origin works on Firefox Beta for Android.
I think it works on non-beta Android Firefox too. I just meant stuff like Jerboa, Mlem, etc; mobile apps you download from an app store.
I wonder if something like this could be used to exclude Reddit result from search engine pages.
Great post! If it works with unblock origin then it also works with Firefox on Android.
Exactly what I was looking for and the example is exactly what I wanted to do.
Small problem, this blocks every mention of lemmynsfw, even this post.
What if i just want to block any post from any community from any instance with the word 'trump' in the title, is there a way to do that?
Sort of. Change has-text(@TheInstanceYouWantToBlock) to has-text(ThePhraseYouWantToBlock).
Just note that:
- The filter is case-sensitive, and
- This will block the post if the phrase is anywhere in the post. So even if the phrase isn't in the title, but is in the post's text body, the OP's username, the community name, etc, it will still be blocked. So blocking "trump" could accidentally block a playingcards post that has "trump card" somewhere in the post body.
