Apologies for a second feature request so soon after my prior one, though I think this would make Lemmy Explorer far more useful.
As I have a substantial filter list of two dozen instances and hundreds of other communities on the remaining instances, it’d be helpful if there were an option to filter out communities from Lemmy explorer on the basis of one’s predefined filter lists.
As many small communities only start appearing in my regular feed after I load their information in Lemmy Explorer first, I sometimes search for such communities, scrolling past communities from instances on my filter list.
It would also be helpful if there were a toggleable sub-option of the “Hide NSFW Content” setting to automatically set the NSFW option in Lemmy Explorer to “Exclude NSFW”.
Loving the new Lemmy Explorer block list filtering option, but realized that as I can’t block instances that the instance I’m on defederates with already, communities from those instances still appear in Lemmy Explorer despite not being able to interact with them. Could the block list filter also be used to filter out communities from defederated instances?
Alright, I’ve added support for filtering communities and instances based on the defederated list for the active instance. I’ve also added support for blocking communities and instances straight from Lemmy Explorer.
This will be included in the update later on this evening. Thanks for the ideas!
I haven’t forgotten about this, it’ll I just haven’t had the energy after work this week to implement this. I’ll probably get to this on Monday.

Did you know that if you open sourced your app, we’d actually help you?
There’s this thing called version control where people can work on branches of your project and merge them when they work alongside your changes. The longer you pretend to care about open sourcing your app then not doing it, the higher the likelihood that you’ll never actually do it and are just stringing us along. The longer you wait, the bigger Voyager’s lead will be.
No worries, and thanks for implementing my suggestions! Already have additional ideas for improvements that I’m keeping track of in my Notes folder, but I’ll wait a few days before posting them to let other people share their ideas first 👍
After copying and overwriting an unsent comment I had made elsewhere earlier, I initially installed a clipboard shortcut to avoid it happening again, but then found Arctic’s draft-saving clipboard feature after tapping the clipboard icon above. So many great features!
I had realized this almost immediately after rolling out the last update. I’ll add this in the next update. For this, I won’t add a new filter, it will be bundled with the account block list setting.
I also realized I never added an option to block communities or instances in Lemmy Explorer, so I’ll be adding support for that as well.
