Instance Filtering
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The ability to filter entire instances and all users and posts associated with those instances would be a very useful feature for dealing with certain problem instances. Like if I don't want to see LemmyNSFW posts on my c/All feed without needing to block every individual LemmyNSFW community or make every NSFW post invisible (since not all NSFW is automatically porn), I could just filter the entire instance.
Describe the solution you'd like
An instance filtering feature, like the ones featured in other Lemmy apps such as Sync and Connect, where you can open the actions menu on a post, then press the "filter instance" option to filter the instance, as well as the ability to go into the settings and view a list of filtered instances from there, and filter an instance directly from there by inputting the instance domain name.
Describe alternatives you've considered
As of now, there is no alternative for this feature, short of using a different Lemmy app (I'd prefer to stay on this one) or waiting for the feature to be implemented site-wide, and presently there's no indication of a time frame on when that will happen.
Thanks for the request @1Phase1! We've been tracking the progress on this over at Lemmy (LemmyNet/lemmy#3869) and it looks like they're on the way to implementing it in the backend. Therefore, I believe we'd wait to implement this in Thunder until it's officially part of the API, otherwise we'd have to do it all over again when it is.
