I have a Lemmy world account. But when browsing all. I see communities I’m not interested in clogging the feed. If they are from another instance is there no way to block them from appearing?

    Open the large drop down menu at the top of the screen and select “Local”. Then only communities from your instance will show up.

    You can also set that view to be the default in your account settings.

      That’s not what I was asking at all. But thanks for glancing at the post and injecting useless feedback

        You asked for a way to block communities from other instances.

        Now you can go through all communities on all federated instances and block them one by one. I’ll surely be impressed by your endurance if you manage to do that.

    That’s what “all” means, “all communities everywhere”. If you only want to see groups on your instance, set your view to “Local”, or even “Subscribed” to only see groups you have subscribed to.
