Hi, I am new to Lemmy and I just need help with something kinda QoL-ish. Is it possible to look at a post on the homepage IE http://lemmy.ca, and block the community it is coming from?

I don't want to have to manually click on the community and go to its page every time I want to block one. Is there like an extension or a specific UI mode that lets you do this? Thanks!

I think the web front-end doesn't, but most clients do. No idea why they are making a feature available through the api that they don't use themselves, but that's what it is.

My client of choice is Sync, but really most of them do the trick.

Huh, kinda weird that it isn't a feature on the web version. I guess I will look for a good client.

Yeah no idea why. Would be trivial to add it to the context menu where you can block the user, hide post etc.
