fwiw i blocked the lemmynsfw.com domain from view and I haven't seen a single instance of nsfw since
I can not find how to do that! I see in my profile there is a “domains” under blocked, but it’s empty and I can’t see how to add one. Where can I find block for a domain?
You can visit domain page, as you would magazine page, and there is a button to subscribe to it or block it. Here is the link to domain page of lemmynsfw.com, but be warned - you'll see the post from that instance and some of them might not be properly tagged, so consider it NSFW despite your settings https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com
It's not entirely intuitive since your profile only shows you what you've blocked and doesn't give you the option to block things. You can navigate over to https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com and scroll all the way down to the bottom there will be a section with a header called Domain that shows the subscribed users, and two buttons, one for subscribe and one for block. This is how you block a domain. Repeat with links to other Domains that have content that aren't properly flagging posts as NSFW.
Is there a way to block the domain entirely in kbin? Or did you have to do it through a browser extension?
How do I do that? Under the federation tab and add the instance?
Idk how to do it through the settings UI, I just navigated to (nsfw warning) https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com (nsfw warning) and pressed the block symbol next to subscribe
@aetris thank you! Good enough for me, and it works!
@frasassi
That link is certainly a good example of showing the issue. Almost half of the posts are not properly tagged.
Yeah this seems to work, I wish I could paste the domain into the blocked menu in my settings so I didn't actually have to navigate there, but this works. Thanks!
Yeah I had to be really sneaking navigating there and blocking it so my wife didn't see and ask questions, lol.
Yeah for now I've just been trying to hack together a usable feed/site (I'm atm actually replying to you from your profile because I can't see your reply on the original thread for some reason), my understanding is that the current front end is basically a strapped together prototype that wasn't supposed to end up with almost a quarter of a million users in a week
That's exactly right! It's definitely feeling the strain of so many users
That's how you block a magazine, they are talking about blocking the whole instance.
Ah ok. Thanks for pointing it out.
