There’s already an open issue on this on github - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397 - but it’s been open for awhile and there’s 163 open issues of varying degrees of priority. There was a closed issue where dessalines voiced support for it so if more contributors happen to get involved it seems like they would be willing to include it. Unfortunately for those of us that didn’t learn coding/development we just have to be patient when it comes to open source projects that people aren’t necessarily getting paid to work on.
Looking at the block page in settings, it’s interesting that you can’t just wildcard block communities of an instance. If you could just do *@lemmygrad.ml in the community blocklist, that would be what users need.
Thank you for this. I set it up myself but I just cloned it 3 times and added a few of the most popular domains as I’ve kind of been going between them seeing as there has been some downtime issues on all of them at one point or another.
Also just an FYI, I found out that your comment and subsequently my comment is not visible to any other instance that is not federating with lemmygrad because the comment you replied to was a user from lemmygrad. So even though beehaw.org federates with lemmy.ml and we are both lemmy.ml users, beehaw.org users cannot see our comments in this particular chain because it was a reply to a lemmygrad user.
