Like, let’s say I didn’t want to see anything from lemmygrad. I don’t actually plan on blocking anything at the moment, but specifically in kbin, how would I go about blocking full instances? Or is that something I can’t do? Sorry, I’m still very new and trying to figure this all out.
There are domain pages? I never knew this! So that link shows all the posts local to lemmygrad? And if you so choose you could subscribe/block to the whole instance?
The domain page is for the domain the post links to. For example, if you make a post that links to a youtube video, the domain for the post will be youtube.com. Since all text posts created on lemmygrad.ml are hosted on lemmygrad, the domain is lemmygrad.ml. But then if someone posts a youtube video to a lemmygrad community, the domain for that post would be youtube.com, so would not be blocked. That means you would still see that post, even though it was posted to a lemmygrad community.
The post’s domain is the little url next to the post’s title. Like in this image, you can see the domain for the top post is kbin.social and the bottom post is imgur.com. Even though that bottom post was posted to [email protected] the domain is imgur, so something like that would not be blocked if you block the instance’s domain.
