Why YSK: You may dislike, disagree with, or be tired of certain communities and don’t want them in your feed.
Too many beans for you?
Not enough, I’m disappointed tbh. I’ll unblock them when they man up and actually learn how to properly flood a site with B E A N S
Why’d ya spill yer beans?
If your comment gets 2 upvotes, you can never mention beans again
I just blocked cats. I like cats. But there’s a gazillion of cats on my feed all of a sudden.
Cats.
😹
Well he’s just magnificent! Please tell this cat I love them.
Gottem
You know a website is making it when there’s pussy, and pussy. We need more balance on the pussies tho.
I’m the same. I also block individuals who post the same thing in like 6 different subs. Yes those posts can tech ically belong in 6 different subs, but if I see more then 2 I just don’t care and it’s instant block from me.
Absolutely. First thing I did when I discovered how to block communities. And I like cats too.
I’m not sure you’re allowed to do that.
Thank you! Shitpost was the first one to go. If I never see another bean in my life it will be too soon.
But beans are really a great nutritious food. Cheap too!
It won’t always be beans, though it may be a bit.
It will always be shit, however.
If they know anything it’s how to take a joke too far.
It’s be beans for a while.
Quality shit posting needs to be related but it needs to be a one-off kind of thing in an otherwise more serious community.
Otherwise it gets boring.
The beans thing has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
Thank goodness. The shit post communities are by far the most popular right now.
For WefWef users there isn’t a block button, however, switch to Memmy or Mlem and block them through that and it will also block in WefWef. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Good suggestion. I’ll add the feature tomorrow as a PR.

Oh I’m blocking 196 for sure
Rule
I had to do that too. I don’t really hate it, but it’s like every other post on All. Annoying.
I do that instead of subscribing to communities.
So far I’ve mostly just blocked sports related communities. Also Apple.
It would be cool if there was a way to block without having to visit a site like [email protected] first.
Turn off NSFW in your user profile first. But you’re right.
I wish there was difference between porn nsfw and just nsfw tho
Is there a way to review what you’ve blocked and/or unblock a community?
I’ve looked and if it’s there, I can’t see it.

Found it, thanks! I also tried it in memmy, and I don’t think it’s there yet.
Is there a way to block an entire instance without having to manually block all of it’s communities?
I don’t want to disable NSFW in my user profile.
This feature is currently not available on a per-user level.
Fedi users 🤝 blocking shitposting communities
Is there any way to block an entire server that’s federated to the one you have an account on? I don’t want to individually block every single community.
No, your admin could defederate them but that effects everyone
A lot of people have requested this feature though, so it may come.
It would be great… I’m tired of pawb.social and yiffit.net.
To each its own, but furry and furry porn are not for me.
Thanks for the response!
I think I might be done with lemmy until that’s introduced. I want to be a part of the midwest.social community on here, but I don’t want to block new porn communities every day as their volume of votes tends to dominate the feed.
And I don’t want to set it to subscribed communities only, because then I won’t find new communities I’ll actually enjoy and engage with. I think there’s a lot of potential with these federated communities, but it’s just not mature enough for user controls yet.
As an FYI you you go to your profile settings on your instance’s site, you can turn off NSFW and you won’t see any of that.
You could also sign up to an instance that blocks the porn one, and still participate in Midwest.social communities
It’s a decent bandaid, but I don’t want to block all NSFW content, I just want better controls around it so I’m not fighting an onslaught of creative new community names around anal whenever I open the site or an app.
I could indeed join another instance, but figuring out which instances are federated to which other instances is a bit of a slog from a user perspective unless there’s a big searchable graph available somewhere (which is entirely possible, I’m still very ignorant).
And who knows, maybe the apps will get better and be able to grab a local-only feed for each instance you have an account on and can patch together a feed from them all mixed together, and that would get me close to a workable solution for the long run.
I suppose you could also sit down and subscribe to every community you want. Then used the subscribed feed. Kinda kills discovery for new communities though
Is there anyway to block instances without defederating? If not I’d like to see that as an option
Too many beans
The naming of this button is too rough, IMO. And it could have been placed in the dropdown menu for each post. kthnx.
On Jerboa it is and I’m extremely grateful for it. Blocked a bunch of lemmynsfw communities that I’d rather not see scrolling in public 😅
Hopefully comes to the web version soon.
