Is there a way for me ( a user ) to block an instance/domain? (fedia.io)

I feel like there's gotta be a better way to do this

I would love to wholesale block automated bot accounts, they are infuriating and just generate spam. It's really freaking annoying. Especially that weather spambot. It clogs the random magazines with irrelevant garbage.

I have 7 pages on my blocklist of just the weather accounts before I gave up

Yeah, I would if that is what I decided to do. I just avoid the Random Stuff page at this point. The effort is too monumental in comparison for the payout. There needs to be an easier way to simply block a domain, especially one that is not being a good Fediverse Citizen.

Right now we do not have a way of blocking an entire instance. You can block a domain, so all posts linking that domain get removed, but that is not what you are looking for I think

How do you block a domain? I see a listing for a Domain Block in the Block List, yet, no UI element to let me block a domain.

[–] BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 2 points 1 week ago

On a post has a link attached, you can click "show more from domain" in the more menu. Id you're on that page, which is /d/YOUR_DOMAIN, you can hit the block button in the sidebar
