Hi. As I am new on Lemmy I wonder, how I can block communities where I am not are interested in. At the moment, I switch to my user menue, switch to Preferences and to Blockings. There I enter the name of the respective community. But I assume there could be a shorter way for blocking a community directly from my timeline, if I do not want to have its posts in my timeline. Is there such a button vice versa to the Follow/Subscribe button or is it not?

    Oh well, maybe it’s relevant for some of the new people joining.

    Rest assured, it was :-)

    If you haven’t joined the community, you should see this button to block it below where the Subscribe button is.

    My ADD is on full swing because I’ve been on Lemmy for the past month and never noticed that button until you mentioned it (although in my defense, it seems sometimes that button shows up as plain text, not clickable - apparently another UI bug). I finally blocked some silly communities that tended to show up on the “All” listing.

    after typing that last edit, I see that the original question was asked 9 months ago.

    Probably something to do with that bug of very old posts showing up at random on the “Hot” sorting.
