It’s becoming increasingly necessary to be able to tell what instance a community is being posted to.

      Does voyager support blocking instances now?

      But that’s not really my point anyway. I don’t mind the instances. I just like knowing which I’m entering.

        i don’t use voyager but i would think it would be a standard feature. maybe not implemented yet.

        you aren’t entering an instance so much as you are reading a post from another instance mirrored to your instance.

          I’ve only heard of Connect and Sync supporting it so far.

          And I know I’m not technically entering the instance. I wasn’t meaning so literally. I am participating in a community with its own moderation though, even if technically a copy.

            I see. I am sure there will be greater support for blocking instances in the future in more apps.

            My developer spidey-senses (I am a web developer) tell me that the name of the instance may still be an issue becausesomepeopleliketopurchaselengthlydomainnames.com. If that’s the case, maybe a comprimise could be to show the instance icon (assuming that’s a thing) next to the community with an option to click to get the full instance name? just spit ballin’

              I don’t actually want to block any instances. I just like knowing which “technology” community I’m in. I’ll find different comments in each.
