Lemmy is growing daily, which is awesome! But it would be nice to be able to see new content coming in, but filter certain communities and users at the same time.
I see comments where people say “just use subscribed”, and that’s fine, but I’d like to see what’s new, filtering things I know I don’t want to see.
For example, I see city communities becoming very active, good for them! I know I will never be interested in let’s say a particular city’s community. I’d like to block it and continue seeing the rest of all the new stuff.
Similarly, the same is true for some users. It would also be nice if the keyword and instance filters would be hidden.
Thus I propose a new feed view “All (filtered)”.
Thanks for all the great work on the app!
I was really distraught over the whole Reddit Spez-gate meltdown, and Memmy has been like a breath of fresh air.
You can block the communities that you don’t want to see. Just go to all, click on the community you aren’t interested in then click on the three dots at the top right and select Block Community.
Pretty soon your ‘All’ feed will be filtered the way you want. I’ve blocked a bunch of communities where I don’t speak the language, and a bunch I’m not interested in. I still see lots of new things but it’s a more filtered version.
