How to remove community I’m already linked with? (czech-lemmy.eu)

I once searched for memes, and now All feed is cluttered with memes on my instance. Is there a way to unlink this instance besides blocking? I don’t want it, but if other user on my instance wants it, then I’m fine with it.

As an admin, you can use the web UI to purge a community from your instance.

Oh, and this will remove it and also remove future new posts?

Future posts and comments will still come in. The remove and purge features don't tell the remote instance to stop pushing updates.

Remove is only hiding the community from non mods/admin. Posts and comments still get updated.

Purging is deleting all posts, comments and images. The community will be re-created quickly, because the remote instance is still pushing updates.

I even tried re-deploying my instance with a fresh install, but the "stuck" communities begin appearing immediately.

Okay, so no solution for my problem other than blocking.
