A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Not sure if this is a planned feature, but not being able to block instances. I can do that on Mastodon so I expected to be able to do it here as well. Outside of the usual extreme cases where defederation makes sense, that would solve a lot of "lemmy.deez user said this! why doesn't lemmy.nuts defederate from them?" bullshit. Of course there's always the option of changing instance but you're never gonna agree 100% with the owner's choices when it's something you should be able to have control over.
I believe instance blocking is a planned feature for Lemmy in the future.
Unless I somehow missed it I'm pretty sure you couldn't filter instances, only users and communities, but I just checked now and you can so maybe they've recently added it.
That's cool but that would only work on that app on that device locally, so it's not exactly ideal. I've only tried Sync and infinity so far, so maybe I'll check that out later and see if I like it.
