Hello everyone,

Just wanted to post this announcement as I’ve seen a few people in an !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca (the more serious pendant to !casualconversation@lemmy.world ) complaining about the lack of filtering features for their feed.

It is now possible in your accounts settings, last tab, which shows users, communities and instances you block.

Hopefully that can be helpful to some people.

    what I crave for is blocking certain links/websites. Nobody should ever need to see or click a NYPost Link.

    Good to know giving more of the blocking power to individuals instead of instance owners is good imo. Only issue is when someone inevitable starts distributing blocklists we start raisijg all sorts of questions about who what why etc that might be very difficult to solve

      I think that blocklist will stay very user-dependent, except for obvious spam instances which should be blocked at the instance level. But we’ll see how it goes.

      I’m surprised if anyone can successfully moderate a large lemmy community at all, considering there are no tools in place to provide notifications for reports - through email or other means.

      Any example of badly moderated communities? Asking because I didn’t notice anything special.

          True, forgot about that (luckily I woke up after it happened)

        primarily noticed this in news@lemmy.world but its a lot of the other communities too.

        there were a couple of outright violent misogyny/transphobia comments that were up for nearly a day and got dozens of upvotes before being deleted.

          Sad to hear. I don’t read news community, that’s why I didn’t see it

    I would like to block image posts. posts which are links to images. I do not want to see them here or there or anywhere. I will not have them in a tree with a chicken. or on the floor with my ass. please stop it.

      If you’re using a web browser, just add the image host domains to your Adblock or ublock origin Blacklist.

        that trick works with Reddit, and there’s a domain filter in Sync, but let me there are no special domains for hosting images

          I think “/pictrs/” is in the path for the image hosting. That might be rule-friendly.

            I’m using an Android app, and I don’t know of any Android app that can do this

      Check if your instance is running 0.19 (scroll to bottom)

      Your instance is still in 18.5
