I do not know whether anybody else has already said this, but Lemmy could really use a feature that would allow individual users to block instances. I think it could have spared some of the defederation word wars that have been going on lately, since that would be an individual choice rather than a collective one.

Just a thought.

I believe present best workaround is to set your home feed to show Subscribed.

I can do this through the Connect app? I blocked a porn instance that way (you do you folks I'm not into it).

@Masimatutu Agree with you, it definitely should be an individual choice rather than a collective one, instead of users having to decide which instance they want to be on based on whatever drama is happening currently.

I hope there's going to be a feature to block just posts from specific instance.

It’s been requested repeatedly. Glad to see it’s on the roadmap.

Lemmy-client app can did this now. If you use iOS, you can try memmy. This app can filter keywords or instance.
