I’m confused on where the criticism of Islam comes into play?

Thank you for saying this. Being anti-religion and anti-Islam are not the same thing. Context would be very helpful for OPs post because that changes the whole conversation really.

Damn, just straight up stealing other people’s content. Very cool

I agree, but the whole “instances” and federation stuff can be overwhelming for the average user. As long as enough power users and content creators make the move, then Lemmy has a good shot long-term.

I think the real test will be when these API rules go into effect at the end of the month. Will all these people who showed solidarity the last two days leave the site then, or will they just quietly download the official app and continue on?

My first thought is that’s crazy and way overboard. My second thought is what have y’all been doing to the bathrooms??

Yeah that’s what I did with a few of the Lemmygrad communities. As well as all the German-language ones that flood my feed with posts I can’t read lol.

Dang it, Ubisoft is gonna reel me back in with this one.

So what I had to do was search for the community I want to block and block them from their main page. The settings page just shows you who you already blocked and lets you unblock them if desired. At least that’s how it works on the web interface.

Oh yeah it might not be an app feature yet. I had to do it via the web.

I hope that changes here before too long. Like yeah we can block communities (subreddits), but because this is the Fediverse, there’s a whole layer of instances, too. And it’s not uncommon for there to be horribly toxic instances floating around. It would be great to not have to wait for instance admins to de-federate from them.

I disagree with a lot of the content coming from that instance. The “why” isn’t the point though. A lot of people would probably appreciate the ability to just not see posts from specific instances.

Thanks, that’s good info! I may just block specific communities for now.

That’s a little clunky, but good to know.

Good to know!

That works if I browse only my subbed communities, but sometimes I want to explore by all. It would be nice to be able to explicitly say “but not these instances.”
