PSA: You can block instances in your settings (last tab) if your instance is running version 0.19.X
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to post this announcement as I've seen a few people in an !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca (the more serious pendant to !casualconversation@lemmy.world ) complaining about the lack of filtering features for their feed.
It is now possible in your accounts settings, last tab, which shows users, communities and instances you block.
Hopefully that can be helpful to some people.
what I crave for is blocking certain links/websites. Nobody should ever need to see or click a NYPost Link.
Already available on /kbin.
(but no instance blocking on our side)
Are there any (iOS) apps for kbin?
Lunar supports both Lemmy and /kbin
Kbin support in Lunar is very rudimentary and read only. The app itself hasn't been updated in 2 months so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I have NYPost blocked via pihole.
Is that you? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4422
And keywords. I'm not interested in Musk or Zuckerberg in any way. Most of the articles mentioning their names in the title are just sensationalist clickbait anyway.
Good to know giving more of the blocking power to individuals instead of instance owners is good imo. Only issue is when someone inevitable starts distributing blocklists we start raisijg all sorts of questions about who what why etc that might be very difficult to solve
I think that blocklist will stay very user-dependent, except for obvious spam instances which should be blocked at the instance level. But we'll see how it goes.
i am š this close to blocking lemmy.world moderation has gotten atrocious on here
Iām surprised if anyone can successfully moderate a large lemmy community at all, considering there are no tools in place to provide notifications for reports - through email or other means.
Help I'm trapped here with no escape
Just make another account, it's not hard
No way nuh uh
š„ š« do it or the chicken gets it
Any example of badly moderated communities? Asking because I didn't notice anything special.
AskLemmy had literal CP up for hours yesterday.
True, forgot about that (luckily I woke up after it happened)
primarily noticed this in news@lemmy.world but its a lot of the other communities too.
there were a couple of outright violent misogyny/transphobia comments that were up for nearly a day and got dozens of upvotes before being deleted.
Sad to hear. I don't read news community, that's why I didn't see it
Goodbye lemmy grad and good riddance
I would like to block image posts. posts which are links to images. I do not want to see them here or there or anywhere. I will not have them in a tree with a chicken. or on the floor with my ass. please stop it.
Not seeing it on my PC running Edge. Any help?
Check if your instance is running 0.19 (scroll to bottom)
Immediately blocked lemmygrad and hexbear
