Why do people not seem to know that the subscribed feed exists?
They do.
But, if they used subscribed, they wouldn't be able to fuss about all of the stuff they don't want to see.
Instead, they just want to look at everything. and then block instances (not communities) showing things they don't want to see.
I just wish I could block porn instances. I like porn as much as the next guy, but I don't want it offered to me every time I browse Lemmy.
I keep hearing this complaint. At the same time I have literally never seen porn in my Lemmy feed. This is absolutely mysterious to me.
Maybe you've blocked NSFW when registering.
You probably have chosen to hide nsfw content.
I don't necessarily want to hide all nsfw stuff. But if things continue like this, I might have to do so.
There is a current PR, which I think has been merged. That being said, next release will likely contain that functionality.
I won't let a little thing like jerkin' it to furry porn get in the way of my jerkin' off to bondage porn.
The Connect app has implemented instance blocking, as well as blocking a community without having to visit it.
Thanks! I'll check it out.
there are more than one app that allows you to block instances.
for example sync can filter*:
*filter is a sync functionality, for communities and user use block if you want to have them blocked outside sync
See the problem is that if they use subscribed, other people might look at things they don't think other people should look at!
Because they want to find new stuff maybe?
Well half the things I've tried to sub to say 'pending' then never get added to my feeds so that needs to be fixed. I don't think it's a jerboa issue because I've had it on desktop too.
I don't really know what's happening there, am I waiting for permission to subscribe? Waiting for it to sync between local and remote instances? For my local client to communicate with the instance I'm on or the the community is on?
Either way there should be an intermediary step where is stored locally soi I can find it again
if you hit refresh while it is in the pending state, does it go to subscribed?
i've seen it on the website, but it is just a graphical glitch. you did indeed subscribe to the community, just the front end never gets updated to reflect it.
but this might be outdated, it has been a long time since i last used the website.
i use sync btw, and here it works. you hit subscribe and the ui reflects the change
No it never changes and the community never gets added to my list, it's only when trying to sub to communities from other instances as far as I can tell
that's not supposed to happen, please do report it to the instance admin
