YSK: You can block communities from appearing on your "All" feed. just go to the website of your instance, pull up the community, and click "block community" (On mobile click "Sidebar" first")
Why YSK: You may dislike, disagree with, or be tired of certain communities and don't want them in your feed.
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.
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.
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.
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 any way to block an entire server that's federated to the one you have an account on? I don't want to individually block every single community.
I think I might be done with lemmy until that's introduced. I want to be a part of the midwest.social community on here, but I don't want to block new porn communities every day as their volume of votes tends to dominate the feed.
And I don't want to set it to subscribed communities only, because then I won't find new communities I'll actually enjoy and engage with. I think there's a lot of potential with these federated communities, but it's just not mature enough for user controls yet.
Why not disable NSFW on your main account, and then create a "porn" account. Then when in public, you stick with your main and stay safe(r), and in private you can scroll your alt.
And yet what I really, really want is the ability to block instances… any idea if/when that is coming? I know it's a thing on Mastodon so it should be one here too, hopefully.
