Reminder: If you've come here from Twitter, check https://bridge.joinmastodon.org/ periodically for more people to follow as they show up here (and if you've never used it, now's the time!).

Figuring out how to block instances was difficult, though. Here's how to do it: Go to the profile of someone from the server you want to hide toots from, press the ••• button there, and select "Block everything from <server>".
Why you can't do this from the Filter section of your preferences or the ••• button on toots...
