Why YSK: You may dislike, disagree with, or be tired of certain communities and don’t want them in your feed.
Too many beans for you?
Not enough, I’m disappointed tbh. I’ll unblock them when they man up and actually learn how to properly flood a site with B E A N S
Why’d ya spill yer beans?
If your comment gets 2 upvotes, you can never mention beans again
I just blocked cats. I like cats. But there’s a gazillion of cats on my feed all of a sudden.
Cats.
😹
Well he’s just magnificent! Please tell this cat I love them.
I’m the same. I also block individuals who post the same thing in like 6 different subs. Yes those posts can tech ically belong in 6 different subs, but if I see more then 2 I just don’t care and it’s instant block from me.
Unlike subs where there’s one centralized “Technology” sub for example, here they’re spread out. There are at least 3 large and active “Technology” communities and so cross-posting to all is necessary. It’s the equivalent to posting to the single “Technology” sub on the shit site. Therefore multi-communitu cross-posting is the norm here.
I get why it’s done, just bothers me seeing the same thing like 4 times all back to back so I block em.
You know a website is making it when there’s pussy, and pussy. We need more balance on the pussies tho.
Absolutely. First thing I did when I discovered how to block communities. And I like cats too.
I’m not sure you’re allowed to do that.
Thank you! Shitpost was the first one to go. If I never see another bean in my life it will be too soon.
But beans are really a great nutritious food. Cheap too!
They make you toot too, which is great for digestion.
It won’t always be beans, though it may be a bit.
It will always be shit, however.
Oh I’m blocking 196 for sure
Rule
I had to do that too. I don’t really hate it, but it’s like every other post on All. Annoying.
That’s my problem too. I don’t mind memes, shitposts, 196 generally. At least not until the beans. But collectively it feels like they take up 80% of All. I wish I could just reduce their frequency somehow.
It would be cool if there was a way to block without having to visit a site like massivecock@lemmynsfw.com first.
Turn off NSFW in your user profile first. But you’re right.
I wish there was difference between porn nsfw and just nsfw tho
Yeah… nsfw is a bit too broad
Finally, no more beans 🫘 ☺️
E: We probably want a “Mute Community” option as well. One that removes that community’s content from All, but doesn’t remove access from the community if you search for it or go to it directly. That way we can look at 🫘 when we want to, yet not see them displacing everything else in All.
Is there a way to block an entire instance without having to manually block all of it’s communities?
I don’t want to disable NSFW in my user profile.
This feature is currently not available on a per-user level.
I do that instead of subscribing to communities.
So far I’ve mostly just blocked sports related communities. Also Apple.
Thank goodness. The shit post communities are by far the most popular right now.
Finally, much less beans…
It would be nice if you could block entire instances. I once had my feed fill up with a bunch of sports posts with exactly 0 activity on them.
For WefWef users there isn’t a block button, however, switch to Memmy or Mlem and block them through that and it will also block in WefWef. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Good suggestion. I’ll add the feature tomorrow as a PR.
This is so on-brand for Apple that it could be a native app.
Fedi users 🤝 blocking shitposting communities
Jerboa on Android has the option to block communities directly from the post on your feed. Just tap the three dots and block it. Lets you block furry porn without having to see any of it.
Is there anyway to block instances without defederating? If not I’d like to see that as an option
