Hello. I am a reddit refugee and I am starting to really like Lemmy as it's way easier to set up than I have initially thought, however I still have one question - does Lemmy let users block specific instances to not show up when feed is set to "All"?

Yes. If you are running your own instance, go into the site settings (I believe /admin) and there is a field to put in a list of instances you want to block. Those instances will no longer federate to yours.

I’m not sure what that does for users from those instances though?

I am not running my own instance as I am too stupid for that :D. I just registered on lemmy.world therefore I am looking for a solution possible for a regular user.

[–] slashzero@hakbox.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see. In that case, only the admin for Lemmy.world can block instances. The alternative would be to find an instance that blocks the instance already, and sign up there. You can still subscribe to communities on Lemmy.world from the β€œnew” instance.

Thank you. I just found that beehaw already blocks content from lemmygrad. Too bad there is no way to migrate between instances like with Mastodon.
