I really like Thunder, but I’ve been using Connect since it allows me to block instances. I’m seeing lots of posts in languages I don’t understand, and was hoping to be able to filter them without leaving th app.
I saw in another thread where someone asked this and got a vague reply that it might be possible, but I’ve gone through the settings, and either I’m blind, or it’s just not there. Any tips?

    Block community? Yes, you can. Block instances? No, unfortuntely not

      I have Connect (and Jerboa, and some others) installed already, but I like Thunder best. If I can figure out how to block communities (assuming it’s easy), I’ll just adopt Thunder 100%.

        I tried out thunder, and it looks good.

        There seem to be an option in the 3 dots of a post to block a community. It seems to also be possible to manage blocked communities from the app.

        However, there are 2 bigmissing features :

        Real search. Right now the app can only search for communities, not posts or anything else.

        And hide read posts.

        These 2 features already have a github issue post.

        Some enhancements would be to add the ability to add instances without connecting to them, but it’s not a necessity.
