Ah, you’re right, Connect is just for Android. Though I do remember hearing of an iOS Lemmy app that could block instances at a user level, but I’m sorry to say I don’t remember the name.

That being said, I fully agree with you on relying on instance admins to defederate / block instances. I prefer to have the agency to choose for myself what gets blocked / not blocked. Though I can’t complain about my instance’s decisions so far, thankfully.

I hope you find something that works for you.

You may already be comfortable with another app or the web version of Lemmy, but I recommend ‘Connect for Lemmy’ if you’re looking for instance blocking. It allows you to block instances as a user.

I do believe there is a fix for that, iirc you have to enable ‘Spoof App Signature’ under Settings > ReVanced > Misc.

I think that’s how I fixed it, but if not there are discussions on how to fix this issue over at the ReVanced subreddit.

Jerboa has been a really similar experience to Boost so far, compared to other Lemmy apps. However, Boost had some features I’ve been missing dearly, I’m so glad to hear this!

I’ll definitely use it when it releases!
