Do we have a way to combine feeds yet? I don't know of one. So it's kinda annoying to jump from account to account to make sure your seeing everything.
I'm not sure there is. Personally, I wish there were a way for an individual to block entire instances since I'm a terminally online individual with 3 accounts who sorts by all -> new for content :P
I get what you're saying, and hopefully it's a feature that gets added. I'm sure eventually it will, or maybe someone will make an app or an add-on
I definitely can block inetances, I did with one click. Maybe it's the app I use? (Connect)
I still see comments from it's users but they're behind a (comment from blocked instance) button.
I believe it's a per-app feature. After switching over to Eternity (Infinity for Lemmy) I had to do my Blocklist again. Also each app handles blocked instances differently, and I think connect does it the best with how it still shows the comments, but not posts.
Interesting. I use Jerboa, which makes it easy to block communities, but not entire instances. I'd check out connect, but I browse just as often in a desktop browser, so it would be really nice to have consistency.
It's not that big a deal to me, just a feature that would be nice to have imo
I don't see the blocked comments or posts with the Eternity app.
...But I also can't make my own posts yet....
Edit: wait... Not sure if it still shows comments from people on instances I've blocked.
Sync lets you block entire instances, and that includes the comments.
It's a cool self federation
The "block instance" feature is apparently in the pipeline for Lemmy.
Kbin currently allows you to block entire instances, so that's nice.
Oh, that's good news! I know it's been a request on github for quite some time.
^ this poster right here, officer
Yes, actually! Liftoff for Lemmy is still in early development, but you can get it on iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux, and it provides precisely this feature. There are a lot of features that Liftoff is yet to incorporate, probably most notably moderator tools and support for adding Kbin accounts -- but give it a try regardless, and do what you can to contribute to its further development. Liftoff is an app with a lot of promise and a surprising amount of functionality already this early in its development.
It's worth noting that Liftoff is a fork of the now abandoned project Lemmur, which I believe was the first Lemmy client to support combining feeds.
Cool thanks for the heads up!
It's why I've found myself gravitating to the less defederation-happy instances. But a new user wouldn't know to do that.
I'm building this into an app right now, I've got an android beta open if you're interested in helping decide the course of it.
Right now it just does the normal stuff with some extra features and lots of filters, but the goal has always been to build custom feeds on your device from a lot of individual sources. I'm redesigning stuff under the hood with that and support for other fediverse integration, I'm looking at kbin and mastodon in the near term, but I think I want pixelfed and maybe friendica down the road
The name is Luna, let me know if you want a link
Cool, I can give it a try if you'd like!
Sure, but keep in mind the comparison to any non-federated site has to be that you had no other instances to jump to in the first place.
Yeah, banned groups would need to move to a different platform.
Summit for Lemmy supports multi-communities however it still doesn't support multi-communities from multiple instances at the moment unfortunately.
