If Lemmy.World just becomes Reddit 2.0, with shitty mods and annoying niche ~~subreddits~~ communities, I'm going to hate Lemmy just as much.
The good news is that if lemmy.world becomes that, you can go to another lemmy instance that might not be
the bad news is that lemmy.world is federated with everyone, so its likely i'm going to see the same America-centric content as soon as I change my food to "Subscribed" or "All".
Is it possible to block an entire instance from your feed? Or would I need to go to one that isnt federated with lemmy.world instead?
The Connect app for Android lets you block instances. Not sure about others or the default web site.
Not if you move to a kbin, we can block entire domain names ourselves.
Not yet.
Beehaw doesn't federate with .world. I'm starting to think they have a point.
