I'm looking for an automatic way to search for an instance that blocks another instance. Instead of manually checking the blocked instances of multiple instances until I find the one that blocks the instance I don't want to see, I'm wondering if there is a more efficient and automated method to identify such instances.

You probably know this, but in case you don't, some clients allow you to block instances clientside. Like Connect on Android, not sure about desktop or the web, but there's probably solutions too.

Or you can just sign into the Voyager website, block the instance, and then go back to your other client.

On kbin you can
