On the user level, I mean. Wildcards or something?
I know we can block individual communities, I have been doing that. That being said, some instances have themes I don’t especially want to see, and more and more communities are popping up on them.
Thanks!
Not as a user. You either have to:
- Run your own instance. Admins can defederate to block whole instances.
- Join an instance that blocks them. Check the
/instances/url on the instance you’re thinking about joining to see what their blocklist looks like. - Block enough communities and users on the instance to call it “good enough”. This isn’t a full block and won’t block accounts/communities created in the future. But you might be surprised that a dozen or so strategic blocks cut down on the volume of irritation significantly without having to migrate your account to a new instance.
Though note that blocking an instance is more like blocking every user on the instance than blocking every community on an instance. You won’t only miss posts that are made to communities hosted on that instance, you’ll also miss comments made in posts fediverse-wide from users on that instance. This may me what you want, or may be more than you had in mind if you just wanted to mute communities from your feed.
Shame. I’d love to just filter out *@dunwanaseeyou.com, wildcard style. Welp. Gonna play whac-a-mole with lemmynsfw, I guess \o/ Thanks for the excellent answer.
