Aha, thanks, not sure how I managed to miss it before. Hmm.

Site is https://steamdb.info/ (database of steam games) if you were wondering.

To change the main sidebar they apparently first got control of an admin account, oops.

“Thus we join television in leading people to kill thoughtlessly.”. --Emacs manual, in earlier days.

This seems like a mistake. It’s a discussion forum, it should be possible to have long conversations.

Thanks, yeah, or maybe the devs will see it here on lemmy.ml. I’d rather not make an account on that Microsoft site just to file a feature request. I find it unfortunate that Lemmy is hosted there while at the same time unironically mocking “embrace, extend, extinguish” in its own memes community, heh.

The only way I see to block a community is to visit the community first, which is an annoying interruption because of the additional screen navigation, plus you end up ironically visiting the very community you want to block. So I’m asking a way to block the community after seeing the main page link. That is, add a “block community” button similar to the existing “block user” button. The community name and instance (lemmynsfw.com) together are usually informative enough to tell me whether I want to block.

I didn’t notice a setting in Jerboa, and the porn was visible on the front page of lemmy.world. I don’t want “hide NSFW” which hides it everywhere. I only want to hide it from the front page. If an on-topic post in some relevant community happens to be NSFW, I still want to see it.

Yes I mentioned that, I don’t want to use the setting to hide all NSFW content everywhere. I am ok with NSFW content in places other than the front page. Even on the front page, so far it looks like enough to be able to block the porn communities as they show up there. I don’t know of any that I would visit on purpose.

I also brought this up in my Jerboa write-up, but I notice it also appears in the web interface, so I started a thread here.

Maybe it’s enough to have separate identifies where instances can choose to recognize OAuth or the like.

OP, who are you and why are you asking this? Search is one of my things (solrize :: solr.apache.org) so If you’re one of the Lemmy search devs I can discuss search stuff with you here, but I would rather not sign up on the Microsoft code hosting site for that purpose. If you’re a regular Lemmy user trying to get other users to brigade a dev ticket, that is not very nice, and I think it’s better to discuss search stuff here on Lemmy.

Ada would like a word with you ;)

Yeah, plus downloading some threads and pm’s before the api closed, that sort of thing.

I figured I’d wrap up some unfinished business on reddit and then quit. In fact I stopped giving a shit about reddit so the unfinished business is likely to stay pending forever.
