I really like Thunder, but I’ve been using Connect since it allows me to block instances. I’m seeing lots of posts in languages I don’t understand, and was hoping to be able to filter them without leaving th app.
I saw in another thread where someone asked this and got a vague reply that it might be possible, but I’ve gone through the settings, and either I’m blind, or it’s just not there. Any tips?

    I have Connect (and Jerboa, and some others) installed already, but I like Thunder best. If I can figure out how to block communities (assuming it’s easy), I’ll just adopt Thunder 100%.

      I tried out thunder, and it looks good.

      There seem to be an option in the 3 dots of a post to block a community. It seems to also be possible to manage blocked communities from the app.

      However, there are 2 bigmissing features :

      Real search. Right now the app can only search for communities, not posts or anything else.

      And hide read posts.

      These 2 features already have a github issue post.

      Some enhancements would be to add the ability to add instances without connecting to them, but it’s not a necessity.
