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.

You also need to block everyone from Hexbear. I don’t have the same reaction to everyone from ML (though I have that instance blocked too), but after I interact with them, they usually get blocked anyway.

fun fact: they can’t reply back to you if you block them. I only found that out because I would get errors trying to reply to people who hate me.

There’s about 15% of .ml that is unaware, and are pretty regular. And then there’s the rest that make you go, “oh… Hm…”
