There's a certain community there that I'd like to filter because a) I find the content/discussions to just be generally awful circlejerky nonsense and b) it's polluting the "All" section that I like to browse.

Go to the community page and hit the "Block Community" button.

Can I block a whole instant? I don't want infinite porn on my all page

[-] skybluesky@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately not at this time, but it's been a widely requested feature so I hope they add it before long.

Block the user and the community. If you have memmy for iOS you can block the community also

[-] tj111@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Some apps have it but not the website.

I just read in another post that you can do this in the Connect app, in settings.

Using jerboa, I click on the community and use the block this community function in the three dots option top right of the screen, I suppose it is available to whatever you use to browse lemmy ?

[-] CannedTuna@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Using memmy you can do the same. Top right corner, click the 3 dots and click Block Community

Voyager (previously named wefwef) recently added this feature too

I think you just go to the 3 dots, open the community the post is from and then "block" but I'm new here and having a hard time as well.

I still see posts I saw the day I signed up a week ago, even though they have no user comments or any sort of engagement, even if I've already downvoted (or whatever the term here is). Most of my "all" is stuff I saw days ago and didn't like then either. I have blocked a few places (some more than once, maybe because I am on two different Lemmys?) But it's not going well.
