With the many Reddit style shitposts appearing, I’m wondering if there’s a way for users to block certain communities or servers. Sync for Reddit made doing this easy -blocking the noise was the only reason I could use Reddit.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before.
Kbin needs to have a block icon next to community links inside posts in the homepage. Going to the community, scrolling all the way down to the sidebar on mobile, then blocking it is just not convenient.
And being on fediverse, there’s just so many communities with the same name. it starts to get tiring.
FYI https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/399 There’s a userscript so it’ll probably make it in as feature in the not too distant future.
The defining, and exciting, feature of the Fediverse is it enables instances to try out different strategies to things like moderation. Duplicate communities is a side effect of that, but I think it will settle down. I’m expecting there will be a lot of small specialized instances for related topics, and people will broadly subscribe to communities on the instances they like.
