anyway to block lemmy.world?

db0 Mod , 2 days ago

You can block the instance in your account settings, and you can also block individual communities. Finally you can block specific users as well. Any more control and you need to find a frontend that might handle that.

“<some user>@lemmy.world to <some community that I’m not blocking, or maybe even following>”

the additional control that I want is ability to block this format of posts, as it is constantly giving me posts mostly about U.S.A election, and about liberal views on politics. While my main interests in lemmy are technology and art.

But, that's what your subscription list is for. Just curate your subscribed communities, no?

zaknenou OP , 2 days ago

so, the fault is actually that I'm checking the "all" feed

db0 Mod , 2 days ago

Well, not a fault per Se, but it should be expected that you'd see stuff outside your normal interests in the torrent of posts.

Libs bad ):<

Fascist Dictator Republican Kingdom GOOD (:

Democracy BAD ):<

Unchecked Monarchy with limitless Republican power GOOD. (:

you missed the fact that I'm not American, I really don't care about U.S.A elections, stating that any of the two sides is good annoys me

There is no automated/objective way to block "pure liberal cringe", propaganda, etc.

But like other people have said, there might be apps/tweaks for more advanced filters.

Connect app lets you block instances

Enjoy your fascism

technocrit , 2 days ago

Imagine believing that blocking a lemmy instance is fascism.

Correlation does not equal causation, straw man

zaknenou OP , 1 day ago

aren't you yourself using the "black-or-white" fallacy ? I mean when you assume I'm either pro-liberal party or fascist.

...they were talking about how the dude is going to shovel pro Fascist Republican content down their gullet

some apps and frontends let you filter posts and comments.

if you're in the browser: blocking an instance from your account settings will block postshide communities from that instance. this also has the benefit that you don't get notified when someone from a blocked instance replies to you or sends you a message.

to hide comments and other posts in the browser on the default frontend, i use a userstyle:

code

/* hides posts */
.post-listing:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"])
{
    display: none;
}

/* hides comments and replies */
.comment-node:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"]),
.comment-node:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"]) + .comments
{
  display: none;
}

/*
* hides post separators in feed.
*
* (a) it's more compact this way.
* (b) they get left behind when hiding posts.
* 
*/
.my-3 { display: none; }

EDIT: corrections. more code. put inside a details block.

zaknenou OP , 2 days ago

so blocking an instance from account settings forbids posts submitted to its' communities from appearing on my feed

the method you added forbids also comments of users of lemmy.world from appearing for me on posts that I view.

but what about these posts that are like: "<some user>@lemmy.world to <some community that I'm not blocking, or maybe even following>" is there a way to prevent them from appearing ?
for example this community: "whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works" I don't even understand what it is about but seems something USA specific. Yet I get posts from it appearing on my "all" feed whenever I login to dbzer0. And I notice a lot of these posts are from lemmy.world users and recently about U.S.A election,
There is also election in my country this year but I really don't care, I think it is a waste for my time to care about elections.
It is good though that we don't have republicans here, so half the problem is solved on Lemmy by default.

but what about these posts that are like:

ah right, yeah. i updated my original snippet with the styling for hiding posts also.

It is good though that we don’t have republicans groups here, so half the problem is solved on Lemmy by default.

there are neocon and alt-right instances, but they don't normally federate, or they're quarantined very quickly (usually for posting CSAM… hmmm…).

Just block the instance?

zaknenou OP , 3 days ago

I just figured out how,
judging from my ability to see your comment, I still can interact with users, just all communities of lemmy.world disappear from my feed?

Find an instance that is defederated from LW

zaknenou OP , 2 days ago

so that's the only way ? I can't filter lemmy.world from my feed on dbzer0 ?

poopsmith , 2 days ago

Blocking the instance, as you've done, will filter LW from your feed. If you're using Sync, you can also filter it through the app.
