String

I have pihole as well and I find it doesn’t block the promoted posts / reddit ads on mobile. But revanced fixes that.

the experience on mastodon / micro blogging platforms is very different from lemmy which is more of a forum / link aggregator. I get that the fediverse can be tricky to understand but I think for the best user experience it might be better to have a microblogging account for all those instances, and a forum account for lemmy / kbin. I think there’s features that some platforms have and others don’t? and the interface is very different.

although kbin is different as it supports both, and hashtags.

2. downvotes can be disabled by admins of the instance for the entire instance, so it’s optional and up to them. is there a karma system with lemmy (like showing how much total karma you have on your profile)? I know kbin has that

3. user level instance blocking would be nice to have!

I found it in search but it was at the very very bottom after 30+ different apps.

Yes! It’s here. I think since it’s so new google doesn’t display it anywhere near the top when you search for it.
