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.

  1. Open your profile Settings page:

  1. Switch from the Settings tab to the Blocks tab

  1. From this page you can block by User, Instance, or Community

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.

    I’m using connect for lemmy and a few weeks ago I ended up blocking entire instances because of lemmyshitpost and some variants. No regrets so far, and browsing Lemmy got so much better.
