block user/community from feed

Since Lemmy doesn't have a lot of content yet, I primarily browse all. Since there are a lot of active communities in all that I'm not interested in (different language/NSFW, etc), it would be really handy to be able to block them from the ellipsis menu. Right now you have to go I to the community and find the block option there. Similarly for users.

I have a filter button at the bottom of my ellipsis menu that lets me block the community, user, or instance.
- Oh wow, I didn't realize filter == block 🤦
  
  It isn't strictly equivalent, as filter only works on Sync, whereas block is a Lemmy account feature. If you only use Sync though, filter is great.
  To add to this, you can filter instances, but you can't (yet) block them.
- This is good to know, ty.
It's called Filters not block, I can elipsis menu on this post, go to filters and filter your posts away
- Thanks!
In addition to what others have said about filtering certain posts/users from the ellipsis menu, you can also preemptively filter domains/instances/users/keywords in the settings:
Settings shortcut: Settings > Filters
- Very cool, thanks for the tip!
I agree, I especially can't stand the communities who just dump entire archives of reddit posts. Would be nice to block those communities easily
- What ones are doing this?
  
  "Am I the Asshole" comes to mind
