First of all, thank you so much for all your work! This is definitely a way better experience than the web client. And thanks for adding community blocking, so now I don't have to go back for that feature.
I like to keep pretty huge categories of communities out of my feed entirely. But, I also want to be aware of what other communities of interest might be out there, especially now while the Lemmy landscape is evolving so quickly. So the strategy of only ever browsing subs and foregoing All entirely doesn't really work.
But, as I've seen other people highlighting in other posts, federation also means that the number of redundant communities across instances is huge. I don't just have to block all the political communities, I have to block them everywhere we're federated with. My block-list is already gigantic and I don't anticipate the need to block communities going away soon.
It'd be a much smoother experience if Block Community was an option directly in the three-dot menu of an individual post, instead of having to leave my feed, go through another menu, and go back every time.
+1 for both the thanks (blahaj and lolicon begone!! Woo!!) and the further request for easier blocking in feed instead of having to visit the community.
Same with instance blocking, and if possible keyword blocking.
Y’all are awesome, I’m loving watching the progress with the release notes every time!
Instance/keyword blocking would be even better, but by my understanding that would need to be supported by the Lemmy protocol directly first. The app could just filter out stuff from blocked instances after it gets the data from Lemmy, but then you'd just get mostly-empty pages if you've blocked a lot.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks. I’ll settle into the chaos ;)
