I rarely down vote, but apparently I've blocked 7148 users/communities/instances on my first account.
Haha, yea. I also left Reddit when the API change happened.
I thought I was breaking the Voyager app with the number of accounts and communities I was blocking on my original account, so I made this new one. I needed to force close the app whenever I tried viewing the whole blocked list...
While I appreciate the effort devs put into making open source alternatives to a closed source app, the naming convention is really starting to get irritating...
Discord splits out to
YouTube has
Libre-this, Libre-that, Libre-cock and balls.
...I would love for devs to separate their software's name just a little bit more from the thing they're trying to replace. Please. Just be more unique. The name can still have a nod to what it's replacing and not just be a partial modification to the original name.
My rule of thumb is if a user has more than one post a day on average, I block them. At least on my other account I did that.
I don't think regular people post that frequently. If they do, it's likely just manual irritating spam.
Lol, I was gonna say this account has made 3.4k posts in 7 months. It's just an unlabeled bot to throw on the pile of blocked accounts.
That's an extremely open ended question with countless answers...
...do anything because you want to do it.
That's all I could think of while on the toilet.
They both have pros and cons. Both deal with spam, AI slop, and other BS. It seems like a "pick your poison" kinda thing.
Ty for the feedback!
My main problems with their software is that it's Chromium based browsers only and they don't provide a local workaround when their service eventually stops, either because they go under, they no longer support the keyboard, or some other stupid reason. Then the board is stuck as-is forever for people who don't know where to look.
I'll look into the other options, though.
I am left handed. That would be irrelevant.
I think the main issue is that Lemmy is a fraction of the size of Reddit. Most people probably assume they need to post the same content in different communities to increase visibility. However, Lemmy is so tiny that posting in one community is more than enough for everyone who would be interested in the topic to see it.
I think it'd be easiest to just find the largest version of a community and post there, ignoring all of the other communities.
More advanced filtering. There's too much spam content, both human and bot made, that fills my feed. It'd be nice to be able to filter it with some rule system or regex or something. I don't want to see the same person posting the same thing across identical communities in different instances back-to-back in my feed.
I also do this. If yt-dlp keeps failing, change the VPN location or download the latest build and it works.
