Browsing all seems to generally be the best option for me with how I like to use the platform. But this does come along with a need to block lots of communities with content I known I’m never going to want.
So I’d like the ability to long press a post in c/all and click an option to block the community that the post is from.
Right now my flow is:
Post menu -> community -> community menu -> block community -> go back to c/all
This feature would remove 3 out of 5 of those actions.
Bonus if posts from that community are removed from the the feed immediately, maybe just new ones below the current location on the feed.
You must log in or register to comment.
The connect app has that option with the three dots by the post.
Nice, unfortunately I daily drive an iPhone.
Voyager app has the same feature. I use it on my iOS devices.
Oh, does it?
I can’t even keep track, I have like every iOS lemmy app and use the better ones kinda randomly. Lately it’s been lemma, but Voyager is up there, except for its lack of redgif embed support.
While using the app myself I ran into a similar “issue” where subscribing to a new community would take quite a few steps. I’ve been playing around with the idea to nest the community menu inside the post menu, which would reduce the amount of steps. I’ve been trying out the following setup:
In parallel I’m working on a bigger update that includes notifications and widgets, so it might take a bit longer to release this update. But hopefully this makes your requested flow to block communities a bit easier (:
Nice, I like it.
To borrow an idea from Arctic, could the community sub-menu also include a “block instance”?
Great suggestion, I’ll add that to the list as well!
+1. This looks really good
Boost for Lemmy app does this.
Not how they’re asking for it. In another comment they describe doing it in their app just like it works in Boost. They want to remove some steps from how it works.
Im using Memmy on iOS and can do exactly this. From c/all, tap the three dots on the top right of the post -> blocking and reporting -> block community. Still gotta refresh c/all to have the block take affect, but it’s all done without even having to open the post.
