    I would recommend using a client that allows instance and/or keyword blocking. I believe Sync and Connect on Android offer these features amongst others. I would also raise this issue with the dev of whatever client you’re using, as a lot of clients now have this feature.

    The Lemmy backend is also getting instance blocking shortly.

      I’m a pretty old fashioned guy, I don’t really use the mobile apps, so I’m hoping for the backend update sooner rather than later, since I use the mlmym layout wherever available.

      I have Connect on my phone but I don’t use it often.

        That’s fair. Instance blocking at the lemmy level will be a hugely popular feature. The backend feature is merging very soon!
