In maintaining my Lemmy blocklist, I noticed that I was unable to block the thunder@lemmy.world community, despite it seemingly existing if I look for it on lemmy.world directly.
As it doesn’t load when accessed via this instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/thunder@lemmy.world), has it been defederated?
Sorry for going off-topic, but how do you best go about maintaining your blocklist from a UX standpoint? What interface works well for you? It tends to take me more clicks than I’d like to block coms at the moment.
Arctic (iOS and MacOS only, unfortunately) has built-in swipe actions for blocking and unblocking at the community and instance levels.
In addition to the standard federated community list, it also has a separate Lemmy community list that instead pulls its data from Lemmy Explorer. Since this instance doesn’t use Lemmy Federate, it’s both a useful means of finding communities that aren’t federated to this one yet, and also a useful means of blocking any uninteresting or otherwise unwanted ones. You can then have it filter out communities you’ve blocked, to avoid having to scroll past them again after.
Took some time to decide which communities I did or didn’t want, but down to 992 unblocked communities now, or hopefully 988-ish if instance-blocked ones can filtered out too.
Thanks, that sounds great!
