I’m already anticipating the articles about the inevitable launch-day patch and mountain of breaking bugs.

Yeah Risus lends itself well to short adventures for sure. I think Toast of the Town is a superb adventure and could fit well with any system. Hope you get to run it sometime!

This is all everyone is going to talk about for a while huh? As if most of the active posts being about Reddit wasn’t bad enough.

If we want Lemmy to succeed we have to do more than whine about this kind of thing 24/7.

Yeah I could see it being perfect for that setting!

Cries in PS5

The month-long wait for the PS5 release is going to be torture.

Damn, just straight up stealing other people’s content. Very cool

I have done this so many times and for no particular reason. It’s just fun!

Doesn’t bother me. I’m not a FOSS-only person, although I like using FOSS stuff when I can. As others have said, in a worst-case scenario, you still have your text files. Even if you really went nuts with plugins and have all sorts of custom stuff that won’t easily transfer to another service, it’s still all yours and you can probably recreate most of it somewhere else.

My first thought is that’s crazy and way overboard. My second thought is what have y’all been doing to the bathrooms??

Yeah that’s what I did with a few of the Lemmygrad communities. As well as all the German-language ones that flood my feed with posts I can’t read lol.

I’d wager most will go back. But Lemmy might retain a pretty substantial amount of its new users. I for one want to stay here, but we’ll see how many content-creating users return to Reddit after the blackout.

So what I had to do was search for the community I want to block and block them from their main page. The settings page just shows you who you already blocked and lets you unblock them if desired. At least that’s how it works on the web interface.

Oh yeah it might not be an app feature yet. I had to do it via the web.

I hope that changes here before too long. Like yeah we can block communities (subreddits), but because this is the Fediverse, there’s a whole layer of instances, too. And it’s not uncommon for there to be horribly toxic instances floating around. It would be great to not have to wait for instance admins to de-federate from them.

I disagree with a lot of the content coming from that instance. The “why” isn’t the point though. A lot of people would probably appreciate the ability to just not see posts from specific instances.

Thanks, that’s good info! I may just block specific communities for now.

That’s a little clunky, but good to know.

Good to know!

That works if I browse only my subbed communities, but sometimes I want to explore by all. It would be nice to be able to explicitly say “but not these instances.”
