Lemmy Improvement Queries (aussie.zone)

New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual ‘responsibility’ lies.

  1. It would be great to be able to mass-block communities from lists, rather than tiresomely do them one -at-a-time from ‘All’.

It would also be useful to see the list for subscribing, as I don’t know what’s out there until I see it. Sometimes I can’t think of something to search for until I see it.

Perhaps this lies more with individual apps/ clients rather than the Lemmy ecosystem…?

  1. May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?

Anyone?

(BTW I’m sorry that I posted this also a reply to an earlier post. I cannot figure out how to delete it.)

I'd also like to be able to subscribe to lists of blocked individuals. We have federated trolling and idiocy, so it stands to reason that if Lemmy is going to scale up, we also need federated blocking.

Great idea!

I notice that I can block communities, but not instances. It would be good to be able to do that too. There’s no point in seeing countless posts in a language I don’t understand for instance.
