SO is such a miserable and toxic place that oftentimes I’d rather read more documentation or reach out to someone elsewhere like Discord. And I would never post a question there or comment there.

I could arguably see sharing a few choice posts each day, but it seems like it’s always posts that have no votes or comments or interactions

Hate 'em and immediately disabled the option to view bot posts

Bummer, but kinda suspected that with all the talk about lag between instances. Thanks for the info

I don’t know enough about how Lemmy works on the back end - but maybe something like a PiHole blocking all traffic to the domains of instances you don’t like. I’m unsure if the device requests that data directly from the other instance or if the instance you’re connected to retrieves that data and sends it as it’s own.

On the website you can to go your account settings and there is a section for blocking users and communities

Lemmy.blahaj.zone and lemmynsfw.com :) Happy browsing

Exactly this, if we can stop them in their Embrace phase before they can get to Extend and Extinguish, we should be fine. I think defederating from Meta and Reddit should be any Fedi instances first priority. Though I’m sure some will think it’s a great idea as it’ll bring more users and content, but it’s only a good idea at first while these companies need the Fediverse, as soon as they don’t need us they’ll fuck it all over like Google did with XMPP

I’ve got accounts on 4 different instances just to see what things are like. Sometimes I want to see all sorts of posts, sometimes I want a feed of just LGBT-positive stuff, sometimes I just want to get off, different accounts on different instances for different things :)
