Seeing how some communities have bots. Who post Reddit content on to Lemmy. Also since the 0.19 update, users can block instances. So nothing will happen. If Reddit does that.

EDIT People wanted the Fediverse to get more popular. So more popular it gets, more big companies and an like will join the Fediverse. So mission accomplished, everyone. 🥳

I saw the release notes but still have no clue how to block an instance and whenever I google it I find months old posts.

Any idea how I can block an instance?

World is still on 0.18.5. So no.

That functionality is coming in 0.19.0. Some instances have already updated, but someone else here said lemmy.world hasn't yet.

Yeah, except certain people won't see it that way and will bitch instead then demand an entire instance defederate rather than curate their own feed. /sigh

Personally, I'd find it easier to just move to another instance than do all that.

"So nothing will happen."

Agreed, it’s annoying
