Why does it take so many clicks to block communities? (sh.itjust.works)

Click logo, miss logo enter thread by mistake, click logo again enter community page, scroll right, click block, confirm block at the bottom of the page.

Why can't we block/subscribe from the hamburger menu on the post? Is it this difficult on purpose? Can we edit out a few of those actions? Blocking communities is a huge part of my lemmy experience.

But you literally can? Or am I crazy?
If you tap the kebab menu (three vertical dots) on the post, you will see a link to community, and on the right you will see another kebab menu. Tapping on it will give you the option to sub, block, favorite, etc.

Huh. I'll be damned. I never knew that was there

I still felt like that was a bit long personally, I'd like to have a block button directly in the main menu after pushing on a post's kebab menu in my feed.

Lots of sports communities have popped up and they're taking up half of my feed, so I have to block them all.

Well you can always suggest the feature. But IMO, if you are blocking so many communities, isn't it just better to do the opposite, and subscribe to ones that you like instead?

That's a good point, but I also like discovering new communities, just not the sport ones. Blocking by topic would be nice to have, but I think that would have to be a Lemmy feature.

Is that a payed feature? The second kebab menu does nothing for me. It's there, but nothing happens.

[-] JackDark@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Nope. I'm on the free version and that's what I use.

Every time I touch that kebab on the user or community it stutters, the menu jogs down a little and then goes back to normal but now the kebabs are gone.
