Are you able to block it from your user settings page? There's a tab for adding communities/users to your blocklist.
I use it whenever I want to block a community, but I don't want to visit their page.
Support / questions about Lemmy.

Oh hey, it worked! Thanks!
? How are you accessing Lemmy? Works for me in Boost.
Use the ". . ." menu in the upper right, then "Community Info", then the ". . ." menu again. Block Community.
I'm just using the browser version. I guess I could try an app.
I added screenshots to show what I mean in the OP
Huh, that DEFINITELY seems like an oversight. The entire community control block is replaced with a "You Are Banned" message.
There is an alternate browser UI called Photon, try this:
lemmy.ml seems unsupported, and that's my instance of choice
:( I tried! I messaged our admins to see if it's a lemmy bug or a lemmy.world bug.
Edit Looks like a Lemmy bug, but I can confirm it does work in Boost, I bet if you set it up there, the setting will follow you.
That's because they linked photon.lemmy.world... this is why I was hesitant to allow instances to link photon to them.
Anyway, you can use https://phtn.app/ (the official URL, like vger.app) to use any instance.
Glad you figured it out! I looked into the button behavior, here's what I found:
It sends a JSON request to the API endpoint:
https://lemmy.world/api/v3/community/block
With a Referer of:
https://lemmy.world/c/nottheonion
Knowing that, but not knowing the exact JSON call, I don't see how there's a way to spoof it. So I'm glad you found an alternate method!
