Hi all, Is there a way for me to block a particular domain no matter in which community it finds itself in? There are some news outlets that I just don't want to be polluted by.

Thanks!

If you use Lemmy Connect, there's a block keyword feature that could hide some posts from specific news outlets, provided the poster included the outlet's name in the title; but not everyone does this. But yeah, we'll have to wait until it's added to Lemmy proper or one of the apps add the feature. Sync for Lemmy should be coming out soon(maybe by the end of the month?) and I think it'll have this feature as it was a part of their Reddit app.

I too want to know how to block exploding heads.

We're Defederated from exploding heads, you shouldn't see any content from that instance here.

Lemmy.ca is defederated from there so you should be good to go.

Unfortunately no.

As they get into your feed you gotta go to the instance and then block from the side bar. It usually isnt long before you eliminate the louder instances and then from there you can prune the stray bit that comes your way. Its what I did with the nsfw instances.
