Ideally, id also be able to block an entire instance as well, such as the country/language specific ones where i dont speak the language.
I was literally looking for a way to do that when I came across this post. We REALLY need a way to filter out communities we don’t need.
can only speak for myself, but I generally like to browse through everything, there’s always some interesting things popping up on magazines I haven’t subscribed to yet. I think subscriptions is more like a personal feed and “all” is like browsing. and blocking stuff is- well, to block out stuff I’m really not interested in
I would feel that would be what the federation section would be used for as well
There’s a section for blocked “domains” in your block settings but I’ve yet to figure out how to block entire instances
LMAO literally the next post down in my feed had the answer: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/23632/How-to-block-an-instance-on-a-personal-level#entry-comment-93930
/d= domain (e.g. so for the lemmygrad.ml domain, you’d use https://kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml )
And then there is a block button in the right side panel, next to the Subscribe link. At least, for desktop…
For mobile (even in “desktop site” view), it seems to appear beneath the list of posts/etc rather than as a right side panel. Just use find-in-page and search for “Subscribe”; should be right next to that.
Yeah this is definitely needed. I am browsing all/active just so I can gather up some magazines I’m interested in but I’m hit with a ton of non-English mags/channels. I’m blocking them as I see them but there are a ton. It’s all part of the growing pains for sure so I’m not going to be impatient about it or anything, but this is a needed feature.
