I often search by local all but there are so many posts from Lemmy.nsfw. Nothing against the community but I do a lot of scrolling at work so that’s not ideal.
Is there a way to block that instance without blocking all NSFW posts? (Need to keep my shit posts lol)
I’ve slowly been blocking individual instances but if I can block the whole domain that would be ideal (this might be obvious but I can’t figure it out)
E: thanks for the advice everyone, guess I’ll keep knocking em out when they pop up.
Not at the moment.
Only by admins. You can only block communities. You might consider switching to an instance that blocks porn if you don’t want it.
Well, you can block individual communities. So you can try blocking the biggest communities on those instances, so you probably won’t see much of them again. Or else, just stick to the Subscribed view, that’s what I do.
I just turned off NSFW in settings. It doesn’t really remove all nsfw posts but it hides them so you have to click a button to show the nsfw post. Not the best solution overall but the best we have right now
Edit: the setting is called Hide NSFW
I want to block instances like lemy.nl because the posts are all in another language
Well technically all of yours are in another langauge as well ;)
So to rephrase my statement, I want the Dutch speaking lemmy users who are irritated with my posts in English to be able to block the entire lemmy.world instance from their feed.
I like that comeback a lot, well played :D
Funnily enough, ruud the admin from lemmy.world is a dutchie ;)
that IS funny
Wow, thanks for the tip. That instance is pretty new… jumped right on there
Sorry if you are annoyed by lemy.nl. The post frequency will be much lower from now on, since it needed to catch up with news from the past weeks.
However, if you select your preferred language in your profile settings, you should not see posts in other languages at all?
No problem! I’m glad to see the activity. I saw a place to change language from the default ‘unspecified’ or something, but a warning said ‘don’t change your language from ‘unspecified’ or you won’t see any content’ or something like that, so I left it. I’ll go look again, thanks
I set my language and this is no longer an issue for me. Thanks for the recommendation!
I really hope they add this feature. I’d love to block all of lemmygrad.ml so I can stop seeing russian/Chinese propaganda and pro-genocide bullshit any time I scroll for too long.
We’re now looking at a simple solution for this: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues/371
