Hi, I am new to Lemmy and I just need help with something kinda QoL-ish. Is it possible to look at a post on the homepage IE http://lemmy.ca, and block the community it is coming from?
I don’t want to have to manually click on the community and go to its page every time I want to block one. Is there like an extension or a specific UI mode that lets you do this? Thanks!
I’m mostly blocking news/politics stuff because sometimes ignorance is bliss.
wouldn’t it be easier to stop browsing by all and only see the things you want to see?
Not always, I like to sometimes be pleasantly surprised by a community that I didn’t know existed without seeing the latest tragic event, political catastrophe, or Elon Musk post along the way that I am all too well aware of. I have nothing against these communities, it’s just not the stuff I want to see right now.
Fair enough. I think I’d rather be more mindful of what “mode” I am browsing around. I stick with only the subscribed communities, and whenever I am in the mood for something new, I take some time to browse around the instances to see what’s out there. Browsing by all and then blocking all the crappy stuff seems to me like a constant effort with very little potential reward.
