This is all everyone is going to talk about for a while huh? As if most of the active posts being about Reddit wasn’t bad enough.
If we want Lemmy to succeed we have to do more than whine about this kind of thing 24/7.

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?
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.
God I hope this game is good 🤞
Dang it, Ubisoft is gonna reel me back in with this one.
I hope that’s how it goes. I’m just wary or Meta with their love of data harvesting having an interesting in ActivityPub. That said, I’ll wait and see how it goes before making a judgment.
I think it’s a smart move by them, too. There’s a real desire for “Twitter without Musk’s stupidity,” and they have the capability to do it.
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.
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.”
Horizon Zero Dawn. The first time I played it I could not get into the tutorial, just felt so bland. Then years later I tried it again, pushed through the tutorial, and it’s now my all time favorite video game series.
