I’ve been pondering why there seems to be an abundance of options for instances to customize user experiences, while users themselves have limited control over their own preferences. Features like instance blocking and enabling/disabling downvotes can make it challenging to find an instance that aligns perfectly with your preferences. Personally, I already filter out instances based on latency requirements, leaving me with very few options. The introduction of the new URL blocking feature has me concerned that finding an instance I completely like will be impossible. Why aren’t there more user-centric customization features available on Lemmy to address this issue?

    Piefed has built in filters, definitely something that would be useful on Lemmy
