The place is awful. Waiting for individual instance banning.
Do you mean individual instance blocking?
There's a problem with that
As far as I understand it that would mean that they're votes still federate on posts and comments.
So you may block them but their influence on posts will still be felt.
Honestly switching to an instance that isn't federated with them or trying to convince your local admins to do so is the better option.
Though being on Lemmy.ml convince the admins will likely be a serious uphill battle.
I mean having thw insrance not show in your feed. I know Connect has that but I want something that is proper FOSS.
I just double checked, and Sync lets you filter instances so they don't show on your feed. You'll still see their comments, but at least they won't leak into your feed.
Also specific pages can be filtered so it's not the whole instance, or users, so they don't show up when scrolling. Still not sure if it blocks the user though, because I don't always remember who I filtered.
