So far I’ve checked several “getting started”'s and FAQ’s and Google and everyone just tells me that it’s possible but nobody tells me fucking WHERE. So obviously I’m in need of help. Preferably with a diagram or colourful pictures.

Edit: Okay, so old.lemmy.world doesn’t seem to have been updated to allow instance blocking. Did it on the vanilla UI, thanks for everyone who rubbed my face into it! Appreciate the help. <3

      You forgot the step with a question mark. You won’t be able to profit without that. It’s absolutely key.
