Its within connect, and they would probably be able to see your comments in a neutral instance. It is a temporary solution but I have been really pleased with it by blocking most porn only instances, at least its useful in that regard.

There was an issue on github asking for this but I dont know its status

The app connect for lemmy on android allows for this right now, I believe it blocks posts and comments alike

There is probably also a browser extension, but I haven't really searched since I'm mostly a mobile user

Honestly I dont, if we are to compare it to reddit, sometimes there were two communities with really similar names. At the end of the day one of those ends up being seen as default for the hobbie and then everything else feels like its own thing with their own identity. One growing a lot simplifies things for people who arent realy looking and the smaller communities will probably still grow as long as there is someone interested in having discussions over there.

Added cursificer to my read list, it looks interesting. Also it not looking like an extremely edgy looking expelled from party story is kind of refreshing.

Nice!

So this week I:

  • Started "Transfer student storm bringer", currently at chapter 63.

Im reading the original not the remake since I heard that one sucks. This one is a pretty nice misunderstandings based comedy, from a mixture of his mean appearance and ungodly luck the protagonist who was just a wimp at his past school starts his journey into becoming one of the most feared delinquents in school. Its pretty funny, the translation is a bit weird, at least the one Im reading feels like it was done by someone at 4chan, but the language at least makes some sense when you consider they are all edgy delinquent teens.

  • Dropped "skip to loafer" at chapter 27

I dont know why exactly but I havent been enjoying this romance so I decided to drop it

  • Currently reading "Release that witch" for my second read through, currently at chapter 24

This is a really special manhua for me, it is one of those "development anachronic isekai" where the protagonist starts revolutionizing a fantasy world, at least this one makes sense do to his background as an engineer + the witches powers, so I didn't get annoyed at the protagonist suddenly building a lot of stuff he has no business knowing how to like it usually happens in this genre. Also, the art and coloring are god tier. The world building has a lot of thought put into it, on the background of the story there is a political war going on in the kingdom as the king has made it a competition for his 5 heirs to inherit, there is also a conspiracy with the church and a lot of interesting details about the world even outside the kingdom.

I really recommend checking this one out if those city builder isekais are your thing

I dont care about the points, but man finding what I was subbed has been a pain, and actively maintaining and subscribing in parallel to the same communities would be kind of tiring as a safe measure, I will probably just take screenshots of my subbed communities from now on

[–] elkaki 2 points 2 years ago

Im still on the process of searching for some of the subs I used to be subscribed to, luckily I could still search my account so I immediately subscribed to all the communities I had commented on, but those that I only read are still a mystery to me.

Truly a pain in the ass

What would facebook have to gain from paying LEMMY ADMINS this far in advance? If it was mastodon admins that would be one thing, but lemmy isnt even the target for threats, and the instances are so small yet it is practically useless for facebook to pursue something that could backfire so hard by people leaking the messages if they offered to bribe admins...

I think the reason XMPP comes so much is because every single person read the post in /all, seriously I feel that is the biggest reason xmpp is the example being given instead of whenever microsoft has done it which is a lot more times and at least those we know definitely were done in bad faith because of the court cases as opposed to google abandoning XMPP.

Its fine to hate Meta and its fine to want the instance to be federated, but Im genuinely tired of people having this attitude of whomever isnt completely against federation with meta is either ignorant or dumb, like seriously a lot of people havent given proper thought of how EEE would look like and especially those saying "we need to defederate from anyone that hasnt defederated with meta" as a punitive measure are really tiring.

I probably will change my mastodon account if the instance doesnt defederate or at least make an alt account, but I dont believe some instances not defedarating will bring doom to the fediverse, that is not how this was designed to be. And for people to be so in arms here in lemmy that they are threatening and making all this big statements, well thats plain weird.

How can I even make a threat, I thought the server was down?

[–] elkaki 7 points 2 years ago

I don't experience that tbh, I do notice that there are a lot of negative posts but that is do to the anti meta/threats circlejerk that was a bit strong this past week, and the week before it was all about how reddit is so bad now that people have migrated (another negativity fueled circlejerk), but these were more present on big communities that I saw when I browsed by /all, the small communities I frequent are still as good as they were if not better do to them growing and being a lot more active.

(just in case, the account is new but I have been browsing for like a month, its just vlemmy went down)
