I blocked lemmy.world. Fortunately, all shit post communities disappeared, which is a big win, and browsing m/all is delightful. However, I'm still seeing some communities from that server. Which I don't bother, because I can see posts from other servers too, but it's kind of odd.
Domain blocking isn't quite the same as instance blocking. It generally works for text posts or image posts from that instance's users, but things like image posts may not be on the feddit.de domain. For instance, when I block that domain, I see the latest thread in m/[email protected] is actually from the domain discuss.tcncs.de (as shown in () next to the title). This is because the domain of an image post is where the image is hosted, as users posting images upload it to their own instance, not the instance the magazine is on. Ernest last said instance blocking should be coming in the future
IT doesn't really work unfortunately. And whenever I try t block anything hexbear it throws an error. Time to start my own instance, chosing myself what I want to see and whatnot is the most critical part of the fediverse and why I'm here for in the first place...
