Most of the bigger instances seem to have done this, as it hosts mostly alt right content.

    So a bit after I wrote my reply I noticed I could feddit.de that I also blocked (in that case its just that I don’t speak german. as far as I know the domain is a great place) and now im not so sure blocking the domains works all that well.

      Users can’t block whole instances, maybe you just blocked one community? (Edit: oh you’re on kbin, maybe you can?)

      Also it looks like they are tagging their posts as German (Deutsch). In your user settings, make sure you don’t have this language selected (make sure you leave Undetermined selected as most English content is set to this (as it’s the default - no I don’t know how to default your own posts to English, maybe someone else does?).

        you can block whole domains. you go to /d/domainname and when you get ther it has the same block icon as users and magazines on the right and you just click on it.

        I don’t have the language option. This may be a kbin vs lemmy thing and I realize now im on kbin and the original post is about lemmy so maybe you guys can’t block domains. my bad.

          Oh interesting Kbin doesn’t let you filter by language.

          And yeah I’m pretty sure that users blocking domains doesn’t exist on Lemmy yet, but lots of people are asking for it. It should come eventually. Admins can block domains but this affects everyone on the instance.
