how do I unblock an instance?

3y 18d ago by lemmy.world/u/PoodleDoodle in jerboa@lemmy.ml

I miss clicked on one of my subscriptions and now I have blocked it how do I unblock it on Jerboa?

It doesn't look like it's possible in the app. You'd have to log in on a browser, go to your profile settings, and go to the "blocked" tab.

For what it's worth... I think the mobile browser experience is currently superior to Jerboa anyway. The scrolling is smoother and if you open posts in a new tab, you can just close the tab when you're done and you don't wind up back at the top of the feed. I have high hopes for the app but man does it drive me nuts when I try to use it.

great question!

I have another one, i want to block the entire instance lemmynsfw.com, as it is a porn instance, and i dont want it in my feed, especially at work, and they are popular enough (in relation to all the others) to come up on the main feed.

edit: i don't know how to fix your problem... i just had a hunt through the app...

I don't think it's yet possible for users to block instances. As far as I know, you'd have to sign up on an instance that has lemmynsfw blocked.

yeah, that is what i am thinking. it would be good to get that added to lemmy. anyone know where feature requests are for lemmy?

thanks, i have made a post there.

That's not yet possible, but a request feature that should come some day.

Turn off nsfw in settings

This isn't a good solution. I too would like to block instances whose sole purpose is to host porn, but I don't want to hide NSFW on other instances: things get marked NSFW for language/triggers, medical gore, any number of reasons that aren't outright porn.

I'd like to hitchhike onto this because I don't know if I have an instance blocked or not. Is like to join the Ireland community which is on lemmygrad.ml but it's not showing in the search. I can't seem to centre on an answer to whether that's expected behaviour or not.

I won't create a bug as it's likely a me problem, but if anyone has ideas on what i'm doing wrong, i'd appreciate a hint.

Not sure but maybe browse to yourinstance.xyz/c/blocked_community@otherinstance.xyz and see what you can do there.

Maybe try from a web browser. Might be easier
