Many newer Lemmy users still don't know they can block users, communities, and even whole instances they may not want to see in their feed or interact with.
This is a very basic guide to doing this on lemmy.dbzer0.com using the default web UI.
- Open your profile
Settingspage:
- Switch from the
Settingstab to theBlockstab
- From this page you can block by
User,Instance, orCommunity
That's all there is to it.
Edit: No offense to !truecomics@midwest.social for appearing in my community block list. It's just there as a (hopefully) inoffensive example.
Another good non-offensive example is communities that speak a different language than you.
/c/ich_iel, you all seem very nice, but I never know what the hell you are yammering on about. BLOCKED.
Ich_iel bothers me because you shouldn't have to block it. Lemmy has language filters built in. You should never see anything in a language you haven't told Lemmy you speak.
But ich_iel doesn't use that filter. Their users leave their posts' language seeing as unspecified. So everyone ends up seeing it.
Anyone tried actually talking to their admins?
we did but they spoke german
Shock 😂
