I have added filters for lemmynsfw.com but posts keep apearing.

I keep checking and it is in the instance filter list, am I doing something wrong?

How should I go about blocking entrie instances?

If nsfw is the problem just turn it off in your Lemmy profile. That way you’ll block them all.

If it was that easy, then I would be fine, but there are plenty of SFW posts in communities that use the NSFW tag as a meme/joke, and I am fine with that.

There are also several other instances catering to other languages than those that I speak, and sometimes they clutter my feed, the lemmynsfw instance is however the most prevalent that I have noticed.

I am also sorry if this is an issue with the instance my account is on (zemmy.zip) and not with Memmy, I am still quite new to the feddiverse. So if this post is wrong, please let me know.

Only instances running an unstable build right now can block instances, if it’s even working. Luckily you’ve asked about it when the release is right around the corner. So you’ll be able to do this soon. So long as your admin updates.

Ah, cool, so that is a lemmy feature, not app specific, that makes sense, thank you for letting me know!

Some apps have the feature built in. Avelon and Memmy on iOS have the feature. Not sure about android.

I am on Memmy on iOS, and the feature is not working completely, I just had to block another lemmynsfw post despite having the filter inplace for weeks.
