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.

    Another good non-offensive example is communities that speak a different language than you.

    /c/ich_iel, you all seem very nice, but I never know what the hell you are yammering on about. BLOCKED.

      Ich_iel bothers me because you shouldn’t have to block it. Lemmy has language filters built in. You should never see anything in a language you haven’t told Lemmy you speak.

      But ich_iel doesn’t use that filter. Their users leave their posts’ language seeing as unspecified. So everyone ends up seeing it.
