I don’t believe that there’s a lemmy-ui or server side option for it, but some mobile apps do let you block instances which for me is good enough.
Sadly I don’t think it’s possible on the Lemmy-ui/server level, but some mobile apps allow you to (maybe just one, note sure. Either Memmy or Voyager since I use them interchangeably). I also look forward to the ability to block instances fully on desktop.
Leave blocking communities and instances to users. If you don’t want to see “extremists” in your All page, block the community. Block the users in the comments.
Defederation should happen based on the instance community’s collective decision (no vote was done for defederation) and when an instance is actively working against the rules of a federated instance. Hexbear has not shown itself to be breaking the rules or to be planning to, and the arguments used by the world admins were all opinions and not based in reality. The admins of hexbear specifically made a post telling their users to respect federated instances rules.
Yes, the users are opinionated - but that in and of itself isn’t worth defederating with.
Mind you I’m not about to start asking to defederate from world, but I’m still kinda worried that this type of preemptive defederation is going to be the norm for world.
I feel like the admins of hexbear are fairly conscious of their user base and have made sure to take all the necessary steps to properly federate with world. What’s concerning to me is that world preemptively defederated without hexbear showing any signs of hostility or malicious intent. Remember how long it took world to defed from exploding-heads? A literal nazi hub?
It all seems like de federation based on political ideology which, I mean, is in worlds own rights to do, but the fact that they’re the largest instance making preemptive decisions based on nothing isn’t boding very well.
I feel like it’s been so active because app developers almost all default to lemmy.world. It’s a bit concerning honestly, I wish things were a bit more spread out because everyone is at the mercy of Lemmy world and as we’ve seen several times it doesn’t look like the admins of the instance are making decisions based on community feedback.
This was explained by the dev at some point when the app went to the store. I believe this is related to push notifications. There is a post about it/comment by the developer but Lemmy.world is giving me server errors when I try to find it.
Not sure where the appcenter tracker is coming from though.
Are you sure it’s the app and not websites you visit through Lemmy or your instance tracking you? I’m not seeing any tracking on my end when just browsing.
GitHub, read the community description and the file on contribution.
It’s what struck me when I switched to Android… the play store is awful. Good on Apple, hopefully Google will follow suit.
As a proud member of the fuck cars community, I wish the US (and Canada) would invest in their national public transportation systems. It annoys me to no end when people go “but the country is soooo big it would cost so much money” meanwhile you have a functioning passenger train system running through the majority of Europe, fast train systems through most of China, Japan, South Korea…
The problem is that landowners aren’t willing to make space for rails, and unlike most countries, the railroad companies have no interest in passenger trains.
Invest in public transportation, get rid of 30 lanes highways and city centres, promote bike lanes and public transportation, tram busses, subways, LRT, anything. Make your cities more accessible. Ban cars, idk
This was me when my dad would use limewire, break the family PC, and blame me because I was playing “those video games”.
Yeah, like I said the Lemmy setting is ridiculously generous with what it considers read and how it hides things. Best way to circumvent this is just to use an app that’s has the option to hide read posts in-app and doesn’t use the Lemmy settings. I think Voyager (formerly wefwef) does it, maybe Memmy? Not sure about the Android applications. Connect probably
Apologies, it doesn’t automatically do the thing. I know the latest test version of Memmy on iOS does it. Not sure if it’s out on the App Store version.
Wefwef lets you hide read posts I believe. Also, you can untick “Show read posts” in your Lemmy settings on desktop and it’ll hide posts for any apps. It’s sorta very generous with how it counts posts as read but still
For some time I used the storm piñata build using the mid game section for aspects. It was really fun to live the storm Druid fantasy. My only qualm is how squishy you are.
