Is there anything I can do about duplicates? I use Sync for Lemmy on Android.
You're viewing a single thread.
Getting real annoyed by these kinds of posts.
This happens on reddit too.
Look into your app filters. Block users. Block instances.
FYI for anyone unaware: blocking users is a core Lemmy feature and blocking with an app should block inside Lemmy itself; meaning if you switch apps or log in from the web, your block list remains intact.
Instance blocking is not a core Lemmy feature (yet) and so if it’s available in your app, be aware that your app is what does the blocking. Meaning if you switch apps or log in from the web that block won’t be there.
sync has block and filter.
block is generic lemmy, filter is sync specific.
you can filter keywords, users, communities and instances.
you can only block users and communities.
How do you block an instance? All I see are users and communities.
It's a feature on an app. There are no filters and you can't block instances unless you're using that one app and apparently in some people's minds everyone uses that one app.
What one app?
I'm using sync myself, but I think most of the lemmy apps have the feature by now
Connect has it
Memmy has it.
Where is the block instance in Memmy. I only see user and community.
Settings -> Filters -> Instances
That’s a terrible place for it considering blocking is in another location. thank you for showing me
The one app you used to block that instance.
