Title says it all, I hope.
Yes.
But your instance must be running v19.
If it is, you should be able to add servers to the blocklist in account settings. If you are using an app or client which doesn’t implement instance blocking, you may have to do this in the webUI In a browser, but once you do the block will work in any client.
Ok, thanks!
I’m using Memmy, so I’ll try to login on the web someday and get that server instance blocked. (Presuming we are running v19+, not sure)
You can add instance filters manually in Memmy.
Setttings > Filters and Blocking > Instance Filters
This is apparently broken, and memmy development looks to be dead.
Oh, crap. I had t actually tried it. Thanks.
Is Memmy officially dead/abandoned?
Seems like it. Latest update was last year. No commits or merges either.
Hmm just react native, which is in my wheelhouse. Probably not worth contributing fixes now tho if it’s a dead repo.
Bwaha, thank you fellow human!
This is a local filter and will not block the instance using the Lemmy native instance blocking feature. Meaning it will not sync with your account.
You may want to look into other clients, looking at the GitHub, Memmy development seems abandoned.
If you want to continue using Memmy, blocking the instance in your account from the webUI should still work.
Ahh, what an emotional rollercoaster - ok, so noted.
Memmy seems relatively decent, only missing maybe one or two features that I’ve noticed in my few weeks on lemmy.
I used to use Memmy before development stopped. I found Voyager had all the features/UI that I wanted and used that for a while. Recently I’ve started trying Arctic - it’s similar to Voyager but has a few UI tweaks I prefer.
Edit: oh and both of these apps support instance blocking
Cool, I will check these out - thanks for the suggestions!
I’ve been using Thunder since the exodus, and its development has been going slow and steady since (with help from me and others).
Without updates to Memmy, eventually the API may break, as happened to LiftOff when the v19 update landed, stopping it from working entirely.
A lot of new apps got started during the reddit API drama, now it seems we are finding out which ones are actually sticking around.
That was a breath of fresh air to see a cross-platform client - have downloaded it and will check it out as soon as i can.
Gotta limit my social media intake otherwise I get bad headaches these days.
You are.
Does memmy not have instance blocking? I’m on thunder myself, and it definitely does.
I wonder how many people give up on the fediverse without ever bothering to ask this very common question.
Time to defederate from lemmy.ml and the other propaganda instances so the Fediverse has a chance of surviving.
I almost did because of hexbear.net.
I swear, we need instance tagging so that people can tag their instances as “right-leaning”, “left-leaning”, or “moderate” and let users just pre-emptively block wide swaths of the fediverse for themselves.
Language would be a great option, too. I find all the non-English posts interesting in a puzzle sort of way, but honestly I don’t need them.
I find my process for tailoring Lemmy to be the opposite of mine for Reddit. Reddit, I compiled a list of communities I was actively interested in and avoided /all entirely. Here, I’m always on All, and would rather just narrow down what “all” means.
I think language is already an option but everyone just posts as “unknown” or “unspecified” or whatever it is
I am in the same boat - Lemmy is like filtering down /all, which is nice for discovering new things, but in Reddit it is pretty nice to just accumulate things as you discover them and be spared the sometimes painful noise.
Settings -> Blocks: there you can either block users, communities or instances. You want the last one.
Thanks All!
Locking this post as it violates rule 5.
Profile > settings > block list> scroll down and they’ll be a field to enter the instance domain
Yes, but this is not the place to ask.
Are you helpful anywhere or is this comment representative of your contribution?
