So first up, if it’s content you think doesn’t belong here (even if it’s on another instance!) then report it using the report button (in menu under post on website, apps will mostly have a way to do it but it will vary by app - feel free to ask in [email protected] for help). I can remove it if I agree, and at the very least it helps me know what people don’t want to see.
If you want to block a community, you can click on the community which is listed above the post on the website. Then on the community page you should see a big red “Block community” (not visible if you’ve joined the community).
On apps there will be a similar process that varies by app.
But if you’re blocking an unfriendly, unwelcoming, or hateful community - please report it as well.
Maybe I’m using Lemmy incorrectly, but I was getting a bunch of spam from the daily caller in my “new” feed, I wasn’t sure how to block it
