For instance, can I block posts made to specific groups from my feed? Apologies, I’m a Reddit refuge and there’s a bit of content I’d rather not have to weed through.
You can block communities like [email protected] but you cannot block entire instances like lemmygrad.ml. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

You can use a browser addon to add that function. Install Tampermonkey if you don't have it yet and install that script.
Apparently I can’t edit my original post. So I’ll fix it here? Wheat I meant to ask was is there a way to filter out entire groups, not posts. So for instance, I don’t want to see politics- can I filter out the politically themed groups from showing?
Just to clarify what the other reply is saying, you can find the "block community" button in the sidebar of a community on the website. If you're using an app, check in the various menus when you're on a community page, I'm not familiar with how every single app works just yet but it should be in there somewhere.
You can block communities manually; search for politics in communities and then block each one. But the easiest way right now is to just view your subscribed feed instead of “all”. That way you’ll only see posts from communities you want to see.
