    So far the only community I have blocked is the synch for lemmy community, because of the massive spam of posts about synch.

    So can we please stop spamming about it in other communities too.

      99% of the sync spam I’ve seen has been from every community other than the sync community. I saw maybe 3 posts from there saying they liked the app and that’s it, and everywhere else I see posts from people having a fit over using or not using 1 out of like, what, 10 available apps? The spam really isn’t coming from the sync community specifically to begin with tbh.

        Yeah lol. All the spam I’ve seen comes from the meme communities that had multiple posts complaining about Sync. Like I’ve seen more people complain it isn’t FOSS than anything else so far.

        Only other major times I’ve seen it across lemmy was when it was up for pre-registration and when it came out. The former seemed to be spammed a ton because people thought it had actually came out and tried to spread the word & the latter was just people posting when it actually came out.

        The complaining feels the same as when reddit mobile users kept laughing about 3rd party apps to feel superior in some way. I saw some actually comment how stupid some 3rd party app users were for paying for a paid app or subscription to view reddit when the official app was free.

        I’m just going to ignore the rest of these posts after this and hide them. It all just makes them look obnoxious and full of themselves. Basically the type of shit that made me happy to leave Reddit.

        Not really, at one point I had 5 different posts from the sync community of my feed, and now that I’ve banned then 90% of sync mentions ate gone.

          My experience was personally the opposite, and I’m even subscribed to the sync community because I wanted to be able to see when it came out. Most of the sync stuff I’ve seen since it launched has been in other communities.
