Am I correct in assuming that blocking a community stops it from showing in your feed? I see a lot of posts from communities in languages I don’t speak and would like them to not show up on my feed. So I blocked a few, but I’m not 100% sure if what I did has the intended effect.
(Maybe it’s just because to me, blocking a person seems like something I wouldn’t do to someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, haha XD)
Ah I do get the option to do it for individual communities as well (on Lemmy). Maybe it’s a new feature?
Communities are the groups (subreddits) on an instance (Reddit) it‘s a bit confusing for me sometimes, think I also used that word for instance.
For example if there is a “altright conspiracy instance” (there is and it bothered me), I would have to go there and block all their communities individually and since they are creating new ones too I would have to go there regularly, just to never see them again.
Whereas with kbin I could block their entire instance which means I‘ll never see any of their communities anywhere which is nice. Afaik instance blocking still isn‘t a thing with Lemmy as just yesterday I saw some other people from there lament the same thing.
