How do you find content to consume on social media?
Do you just go to the home/feed and let it be fed to you? Do you have things you follow specifically and nothing else? Somewhere in between?
You're viewing a single thread.
Lemmy is all I use, and since it's so small I just browse /all and when I keep seeing subs I'm not interested in (or a language I don't understand) I just block them so I don't see them anymore.
Then I've instance blocked a couple places because of how their mods/admins act so I don't accidentally stumble into a sub from that instance.
You could try to curate a list of subscriptions, but I just don't think Lemmy is big enough for that yet, and you'd miss new subs.
How do you block an instance? Using Voyager
Voyager on android: settings, filters and blocks, scroll to the bottom.
Under filters and blocks in settings! You definitely can.
I don't see a way to do it in Voyager's settings, but if you go to lemmy.world in a web browser and go to your settings, there is a "Block" tab at the top next to settings. Go to that and you can block users, instances, or communities.
Yeah, that's probably the only way for now. Thanks!
I use the web client, but it should be wherever your block list is. Webclient you have to manually type it in, there should be three sections:
Accounts
Communities
Instances
So if you can't figure it out in your app, you can just sign on via a webpage to block instances and that should effect the app since it's about your account and not the client.
It seems that's only possible on web clients. Will check it later. Thanks!
