I blocked [community]@lemmy.ml, and I use a script to block lemmy.ml results themselves. So [community]@lemmy.ml should never, ever show up on my feed. Yet here it is due to a crosspost to [email protected]. This is madness.
You must log in or # to comment.
crossposts are completely separate posts that happen to have a link to a different one. they’re not properly connected at all.
So what you’re saying is, I can block a toxic community, but I am still forced to see when they post the same post again somewhere else.
Ugh. Can I just block literally every post with a certain word in it? Also every comment with that same word?
Unless you block the user, yes.
You can filter by keyword in sync. Only way reddit was useable tbh
I don’t read on my phone.
Do you want it to block every post from every user that is subscribed to that community?
I have no problem with this. I block the community, not the content. If there’s something political going on, the opinions of nazis don’t matter to me, but the opinions of everybody else might.
Why worry
Does anyone know how to block whole instances?
Come join lemmy.cafe. It is deferated from lemmy.ml so you would not see anything from any user of that tankie instance.
I nearly gave up using Lemmy, until I found lemmy.cafe.
So if an instance is defederated from a second, I wouldn’t see any cross-posts from the second?
If [email protected] cross-posts to a community on lemmy.world, I won’t see it because lemmy.cafe does not receive anything from lemmy.ml users
If [email protected] cross-posts a link to a community on lemmy.ml, I won’t see it because lemmy.cafe does not receive anything from lemmy.ml communities.
Aww poor thing had to see a cross post… someone get her a butt plug and a blankie
