Please stop talking about reddit. If you want this to be the next reddit, I beg of you to stop mentioning it. Otherwise all this placewill be is a temporary hold over until we all just fall back on what we know cause we keep hammering in the name into our brain over and over again. I think the same sort of thing happened with the original “black out” of Twitter but we all came back to it because we kept thinking of Twitter in regards to whatever new site we tried. If you want Lemmy to succeed, let Lemmy be Lemmy
I agree… is there a way to hide all of the communities that have been/are being created by that lemmy bot I see lately? I mean maybe the author thinks it’s helpful to mirror subs with all of their posts from ‘over there’, but I fear it also lets us be lazy and expect content to come from outside. People need to actively engage and create here, not just lurk and visit read-only copies.
Edit: it’s all the auto-copied subs and posts from the lemmit.online instance – I am not advocating for de-federating it, just hoping there would be a way to auto-hide any *.(instance) rather than needing to manually do it one at a time.
Edit 2: I’m a dork. I found how to just list new postings from my Subscriptions.
If you block the user, you shouldn’t see their reposts.
