There are some servers that I want to not see in my feed. Instead of blocking each individual community, how do I block all communities on specific servers?
I’d love this to be a built in Lemmy feature. I see their value, but I want to block all of the instances that are just bots reposting Reddit links. There’s never any valuable discussion on those posts, and that’s why I’m here.
It’s on the issue list for the devs. Kinda low on the list though behind working on functionality and dealing with bugs that have been discovered with the huge influx of users.
Makes sense! I wish I knew rust so I could chip in but I don’t think my angular/dotnet skillset will be of much use, and I don’t really have the free time to pick up a new lang
long before the reddit migration there was a lotide instance called goldandblack which was made up of the subreddit of the same name. It was largely a mirror of the posts on the subreddit. It looked neat at first but the effect was actually terrible since you’d get a flood of empty stories on your feed.
It’s communities from other federated instances. But only ones that a user on your instance has already subscribed to. So use lemmyverse.net or something similar to search communities too.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community space dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All posts titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That’s it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content. Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

You can’t do it on Lemmy unless you’re an admin but the Connect for Lemmy app has this feature.

Here’s some help for desktop! Idk a solution on mobile though
There is also a userscript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances
You need to edit the array on line 17 after installing.
This is not built into Lemmy at the moment so the only way to do it is browse using a 3rd party app/website that has added this feature.
The only one I’m aware of at the moment is Connect for Lemmy on Android.
On the apps, there isn’t a way to do it right now.
If you are using a browser with uBlock then you can do it this way: https://lemmy.world/post/435133
Or if you want to use a userscript with violentmonkey/greasemonkey: https://lemmy.world/post/466984
.
hate to say it, but this literally is the way… 🤣
eta: ah fuck, you’re on lemmy-lemmy. kbin made this appear as if it originated on their server
I’ve been wondering how to do this! I appreciate the tip.
Maybe a dumb question back, but isn’t your feed only composed of the things you’ve subscribed to?
My understanding is that your “all” feed is every fediverse instance. (Kinda the point) and your other feed is comprised only of your subscriptions.
It’s communities from other federated instances. But only ones that a user on your instance has already subscribed to. So use lemmyverse.net or something similar to search communities too.
On your feed there are:
Subscribed is what you said. Local is just your home Lemmy instance. All is everything (that wasn’t blocked).
Ah, now I get it. I default to subscribed/new, so I wasn’t thinking about that.
Right now the easiest option is probably to find an instance that isn’t federated with what you don’t want to see.
Self hosting an instance may work
