Hello everyone,

Just wanted to post this announcement as I've seen a few people in an [email protected] (the more serious pendant to [email protected] ) 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)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Are there any (iOS) apps for kbin?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I have NYPost blocked via pihole.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I guess thats a bridge we can burn when we get to it. Wasnt there some drama with blocklists on mastadon tho?

Goodbye lemmy grad and good riddance

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

If you're using a web browser, just add the image host domains to your Adblock or ublock origin Blacklist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

that trick works with Reddit, and there's a domain filter in Sync, but let me there are no special domains for hosting images

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think "/pictrs/" is in the path for the image hosting. That might be rule-friendly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'm using an Android app, and I don't know of any Android app that can do this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

i am 👌 this close to blocking lemmy.world moderation has gotten atrocious on here

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I’m 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Help I'm trapped here with no escape

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just make another account, it's not hard

🐥 🔫 do it or the chicken gets it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Any example of badly moderated communities? Asking because I didn't notice anything special.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

AskLemmy had literal CP up for hours yesterday.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

True, forgot about that (luckily I woke up after it happened)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

primarily noticed this in [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Sad to hear. I don't read news community, that's why I didn't see it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Not seeing it on my PC running Edge. Any help?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Check if your instance is running 0.19 (scroll to bottom)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Your instance is still in 18.5

Immediately blocked lemmygrad and hexbear
