Hello everyone,

Just wanted to post this announcement as I've seen a few people in an !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca (the more serious pendant to !casualconversation@lemmy.world ) complaining about the lack of filtering features for their feed.

It is now possible in your accounts settings, last tab, which shows users, communities and instances you block.

Hopefully that can be helpful to some people.

what I crave for is blocking certain links/websites. Nobody should ever need to see or click a NYPost Link.

[-] deafboy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And keywords. I'm not interested in Musk or Zuckerberg in any way. Most of the articles mentioning their names in the title are just sensationalist clickbait anyway.

Already available on /kbin.
(but no instance blocking on our side)

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Are there any (iOS) apps for kbin?

[-] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago
[-] misk@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Kbin support in Lunar is very rudimentary and read only. The app itself hasn't been updated in 2 months so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I have NYPost blocked via pihole.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Good to know giving more of the blocking power to individuals instead of instance owners is good imo. Only issue is when someone inevitable starts distributing blocklists we start raisijg all sorts of questions about who what why etc that might be very difficult to solve

[-] Blaze@discuss.online 5 points 2 years ago

I think that blocklist will stay very user-dependent, except for obvious spam instances which should be blocked at the instance level. But we'll see how it goes.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I guess thats a bridge we can burn when we get to it. Wasnt there some drama with blocklists on mastadon tho?

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 years ago

i am ๐Ÿ‘Œ this close to blocking lemmy.world moderation has gotten atrocious on here

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Iโ€™m surprised if anyone can successfully moderate a large lemmy community at all, considering there are no tools in place to provide notifications for reports - through email or other means.

Help I'm trapped here with no escape

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

Just make another account, it's not hard

๐Ÿฅ ๐Ÿ”ซ do it or the chicken gets it

[-] Blaze@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

Any example of badly moderated communities? Asking because I didn't notice anything special.

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago

AskLemmy had literal CP up for hours yesterday.

[-] Blaze@discuss.online 2 points 2 years ago

True, forgot about that (luckily I woke up after it happened)

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

primarily noticed this in news@lemmy.world but its a lot of the other communities too.

there were a couple of outright violent misogyny/transphobia comments that were up for nearly a day and got dozens of upvotes before being deleted.

[-] Blaze@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

Sad to hear. I don't read news community, that's why I didn't see it

[-] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Goodbye lemmy grad and good riddance

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I would like to block image posts. posts which are links to images. I do not want to see them here or there or anywhere. I will not have them in a tree with a chicken. or on the floor with my ass. please stop it.

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

If you're using a web browser, just add the image host domains to your Adblock or ublock origin Blacklist.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

that trick works with Reddit, and there's a domain filter in Sync, but let me there are no special domains for hosting images

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I think "/pictrs/" is in the path for the image hosting. That might be rule-friendly.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using an Android app, and I don't know of any Android app that can do this

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not seeing it on my PC running Edge. Any help?

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Check if your instance is running 0.19 (scroll to bottom)

[-] Blaze@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

Your instance is still in 18.5

[-] EpicVision@monero.town 0 points 2 years ago

Immediately blocked lemmygrad and hexbear
