Since Lemmy doesn't have a lot of content yet, I primarily browse all. Since there are a lot of active communities in all that I'm not interested in (different language/NSFW, etc), it would be really handy to be able to block them from the ellipsis menu. Right now you have to go I to the community and find the block option there. Similarly for users.

I have a filter button at the bottom of my ellipsis menu that lets me block the community, user, or instance.

Oh wow, I didn't realize filter == block ๐Ÿคฆ

It isn't strictly equivalent, as filter only works on Sync, whereas block is a Lemmy account feature. If you only use Sync though, filter is great.

To add to this, you can filter instances, but you can't (yet) block them.

That computes. I hope instance blocking comes to lemmy as a feature eventually ๐Ÿคž

I agree, I especially can't stand the communities who just dump entire archives of reddit posts. Would be nice to block those communities easily

"Am I the Asshole" comes to mind

In addition to what others have said about filtering certain posts/users from the ellipsis menu, you can also preemptively filter domains/instances/users/keywords in the settings:

Settings shortcut: Settings > Filters
