So far I've checked several "getting started"'s and FAQ's and Google and everyone just tells me that it's possible but nobody tells me fucking WHERE. So obviously I'm in need of help. Preferably with a diagram or colourful pictures.

Edit: Okay, so old.lemmy.world doesn't seem to have been updated to allow instance blocking. Did it on the vanilla UI, thanks for everyone who rubbed my face into it! Appreciate the help. <3

Here are some overly detailed instructions :)

Step 1:

Make sure you are using the web interface of your instance
Click on your username in the top right of the screen
Click on settings

Step 2:

On the left, click on the tab titled "Blocks"

Step 3:

Scroll to the bottom of the page. You should find a "Block instance" section
Select the drop-down
Start typing the instance's domain name in the search box
Select the instance you wish to block from the search results

You forgot the step with a question mark. You won't be able to profit without that. It's absolutely key.
