Since Lemmy doesn’t have a lot of content yet, I primarily browse all. Since there are a lot of active communities in all that I’m not interested in (different language/NSFW, etc), it would be really handy to be able to block them from the ellipsis menu. Right now you have to go I to the community and find the block option there. Similarly for users.
I have a filter button at the bottom of my ellipsis menu that lets me block the community, user, or instance.
It isn’t strictly equivalent, as filter only works on Sync, whereas block is a Lemmy account feature. If you only use Sync though, filter is great.
To add to this, you can filter instances, but you can’t (yet) block them.
It’s called Filters not block, I can elipsis menu on this post, go to filters and filter your posts away
In addition to what others have said about filtering certain posts/users from the ellipsis menu, you can also preemptively filter domains/instances/users/keywords in the settings:
I agree, I especially can’t stand the communities who just dump entire archives of reddit posts. Would be nice to block those communities easily
