Is there a way to filter or block communities? Can’t browse by new at all because kbin’s “random” is filled with spam bots and I’d rather not block entire kbin due to it.

    You can block individual communities. Instance blocking is left to admins of the instance.

      Blocking an instance would be a much appreciated feature. I have no need to see anything from the Nazi instances.

        Oh I hear ya, users should be able to block instances from their views, and de-federation (admin instance blocking) is just that.

    Blocking communities is a feature in every client and frontend, while blocking instances… Isn’t all that common.

    But you’ll have a hard time for a while browsing all by new, my blocklist is in the hundreds… Best practice is to sort by top day or top something, and subscribe to what you want, then later switch to subscribed list.
