Could we have a "Block community" option within the post options menu? (lemmy.world)

When browsing through the whole fediverse, sometimes I see something that I didn't want to see, and I especially don't want to visit that community in order to block it. It'd be nice to just tap the hamburger menu and block it.

Any idea how I can block all things under @hexbear? Everything coming from that instance is absolute horse shit.

You can filter out posts from instances here: Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters

It unfortunately doesn't work with comments. But if I recall correctly the Lemmy devs are working on an official personal instance block for this use case.

Apart from the obvious ones, I currently filter out:

lemmit.online (bots that repost random stuff from reddit, never anyone in the comments, which makes it boring.)
zerobytes.monster (same as above)
lemmynsfw.com (I don't want to accidentally scroll past poorly tagged NSFW on public transport. It has not been a huge problem but better safe than sorry)
