Ah, you’re right, Connect is just for Android. Though I do remember hearing of an iOS Lemmy app that could block instances at a user level, but I’m sorry to say I don’t remember the name.

That being said, I fully agree with you on relying on instance admins to defederate / block instances. I prefer to have the agency to choose for myself what gets blocked / not blocked. Though I can’t complain about my instance’s decisions so far, thankfully.

I hope you find something that works for you.

You may already be comfortable with another app or the web version of Lemmy, but I recommend ‘Connect for Lemmy’ if you’re looking for instance blocking. It allows you to block instances as a user.

I do believe there is a fix for that, iirc you have to enable ‘Spoof App Signature’ under Settings > ReVanced > Misc.

I think that’s how I fixed it, but if not there are discussions on how to fix this issue over at the ReVanced subreddit.

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know

I see in this post it says that Lemmy communities can be followed from a Mastodon instance. Can the opposite be done too? Could I follow a Mastodon account via Lemmy.world?

Sorry if this is a really silly question, the Fediverse is still very new to me!

Ah, thank you! I was going to profile instead of settings.

I can’t seem to find a way to search through comments, so sorry if this has already been asked in this thread: How do you add a profile picture? Going to my profile doesn’t seem to help much.
