How to block a community from the Piefed website? (piefed.social)

Hello everyone,

As I discovered that Piefed allows to actually have a "New comments" filter (it's "Active": https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/275#issuecomment-2152580)), I have been giving it another try.

It's quite nice so far, but I haven't found how to block a community from the website. The three dots menu for a community allows to block the author, the domain, the instance, but not the community itself. Am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything - that function is not present because it was forgotten.

IMO browsing by 'All' (and then blocking communities) is a crutch for the poor community discoverability on Lemmy. If finding communities was easier then you'd subscribe to the ones you want and then you wouldn't need 'All'. I have tried make finding and subscribing easier by using Topics and including topic subscription in the onboarding process but I admit it's not a complete solution.

It would not be difficult to add a community block function. I've just added an issue for it https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/283

Great, thanks! I agree that All shouldn't be used that much, but I'm just used to it I guess
