How can I block all Lemmygrad content? As a user can I block an instance? Are there instances that already block them?
Yes, so I want to browse all but actually control the content, block instances, block keywords, etc... currently using Jerboa, but not married to it.
Many of the largest instances block lemmygrad. You can check by clicking the "instances link at the bottom of the page.
lemmy.world seemingly doesn't... if I understand this correctly, if my registration is on an instance that blocks lemmygrad, I would not see it even when brosing ALL?
Correct.
that should be how it works, you can check which instances are blocked on https://beehaw.org/instances for beehaw for example
I honestly think that we should have major instances federated to everyone and instead of complete defederation, provide users with options to block (basically hide) content from certain instances and users from your feed. It would also be crucial to have a separate tab then for all (unfiltered) content. The thing is, one of the main problems with traditional socials is that it is so easy to create a bubble around you and not see anything outside of it. While it's OK to have personalized feed, it's also important to be able to see everything the way it is - even with marxists, stalinists, fascists and so on. Maybe having some arguments with them here and there would be good too.
The other viable option is to just leave everything as it is, and retreat to viewing only subscribed content when you feel like itThe problem with allowing spaces for fascists to exist online is when they start existing in offline groups too. If discussion was the biggest risk then there would be no harm in letting them participate.
If it is really that much of a problem, just block the 3 biggest communities of Lemmygrad and it will be quite improbable and infrequent for you to see posts from that instance. Although, isn't easier and faster just to ignore them?
Interesting that everyone here wants to operate their feed on a blacklist basis. Personally I'd love the opposite, to be able to subscribe to instances or specific communities and only get content from those. The main reason I used Reddit over anything else is because it only showed you posts from subs you subscribed to.
You can set your feed to only show subscribed communities in your account settings.
yeah, this is a thing already, that's why nobody is asking for it

Weird, it doesn't work for me for some reason, I have to manually go into the "subscribed" tab each time. Also my point about not being able to subscribe to entire instances still stands. For instance(heh) bookwormstory.social is an instance dedicated to discussing a specific book series and currently has like 5 communities, and I'd have no way of knowing when they started a new community unless I manually checked.
Sopuli and Beehaw come to my mind about instances that block Lemmygrad.
Another reason to block an instance is language. For example, https://feddit.de is a non-English language instance, I'll never interact with anything from there.
Though, perhaps that's a separate issue. Maybe users should be able to set their language(s) and content can be blocked if it's not in your language(s).
Probably best to do it hierarchically, where instances have a default language, magazines can override the default instance language, and posts can overwrite the default magazine language.
Mastodon has a language filter feature. I’d love that here on Kbin.
You can set your language preference on lemmy at least. Not sure about kbin.
You can in your profile settings, I only allow Undetermined/English so I see no German, Italian, or whatever
I'm on Kbin, I think that feature isn't working yet. But thanks for replying, that would have helped me on another instance.
we are in your walls, you shall never escape
kbin (kbin.social is currently working) allows individuals to block by domain. That would keep any top level memes off your /all but I think you still see comments.
Ahh! No (android) mobile app is yet able to access kbin, right?

There used to be one, but it was shut down and in general the Lemmy community has (had?) a good immune system against letting these people get a foot-hold.
I heard exploding-heads was the right wing one? I haven't actually checked it though.
Not the main one, that used to be wolfballs but it dissapeared from the net a short while ago. maybe it will come back, but it is still widely blocked.
exploding-heads is more of a right leaning shitposting site.
Ygdrassil is probably the worst I've seen so far when it comes to far-right idiots, but don't actually recommend you to check it out. The rules section alone is enough to make you vomit
I got banned frrom there just for saying that I don't support the russian invasion. Russia isn't even remotely socialist and Putin never hid his fascist beliefs. Dude can't go 5 seconds without citing Ivan Ilyn and Carl Schmidt. I'm a leftist, but this dudes are totally lost in their 'war' against the west.
