Anyone know of a web frontend that allows for instance blocking? (lemmy.world)

Hey there neighbors,

I use Connect on my phone for the necessary feature but haven't found a web solution yet. Basically, I'm in dire need of blocking an entire instance, as it's made me not want to visit Lemmy when at the computer.

To clarify, I don't need all the features of Connect, just instance blocking in the web browser or a PC app.

Thanks for your time!

Just only use a subscription view.

Imagine going onto the internet and trying to consume it like opening your mouth while standing before a high-volume, high-pressure sewerage outlet pipe.. I can't understand why people do it to themselves.

That's why they want to block an instance, I guess

I mean I'll check out the all sort just to see if some new communities pop up but it definitely isn't a way to consume content you actually want.

but it definitely isn’t a way to consume content you actually want.

No, it's not the way you want. Barring a single instance, it's literally the way I want to consume the content.

This is more of a support question, related to using Lemmy. Please see the sidebar for a list of communities that offer support. Removing under rule #3.
