    Works fine on my instance. Is this specific to whatever you’re browsing with (a specific app maybe), or the instance you’re on?

      I think it’s piefed. Doesn’t work in Blorp (the only app I’ve found which can run it) and I don’t see buttons in browser for blocking.

        Piefed very recently enabled the API to app developers, but there are a few that are working on support. Voyager and Boost being some big ones.

        Could you try blocking them on the web interface on a browser?

          I don’t see the buttons for that

          Edit: nvm, I found one way to block users but it’s very finicky

            If you tap the 3 dots on a comment or post, it brings up a menu where you can block the user/content/community/instance

    Can you give more details? I know that blocking won’t stop someone from being able to trigger a Notification event, but I think it will work to stop content from the blocked account from showing up in your Feeds. Things with PieFed are still very new, and in particular there’s a lot broken with regard to Notifications (also: if someone deletes their content then still the Notification remains, with a broken link pointing to something that you’ll never be able to view; and there’s a whole bunch of little features that break that link from actually going to where it is supposed to, like the Continue thread feature, and the new separate loading of comments in posts that have a lot of them, plus auto-hidden or auto-removed comments won’t follow the link straight to and expand them either).

    And now the real answer: whoever would want to be part of a club with such low standards as to willingly accept ourselves as members? 😜

        I just tested, and on PieFed.social, using the webpage UI via Firefox on Android, I do not see comments from accounts that I have blocked.

        I sometimes get Notifications from users on an entire instance that I have blocked, and then clicking on those links does not work for me, but even those I “cannot see” the comment.

        If we ignore the oddness with the Notifications, then blocking seems to always work for me?
