Sadly, lemmy is already being flooded with low quality posts from reddit refugees.
It’s a bit cumbersome to browse ALL, see a post from a community I don’t want to see, click the community, then click block.
Is there some dashboard like this: https://lemmy.world/communities
That incorporates a block button, so I can just go down the line?
Not that I know of.
My method is to not browse All. Instead, search and subscribe to lots of interesting communities and then browse by Subscribed.
You can also subscribe to !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl to see trending communities. Following the links to see the posts in the communities would be more discriminate.
I havn’t seen any crypto or hedge fund groups trying to get people to buy stupid stocks like on reddit yet. That is a plus.
I’ve seen a few. Blocked them now but they’re out there. One of the biggest disappointments with reddit was all the good investment subreddits getting overrun and ruined. They’re filled with people buying into blatant pump and dump or ponzi scheme crypto shit echo chambering buy X. It’s just pure garbage.
On Sync you can block whole instances. I found that very helpful.
Easy, tap the 3 dots on a post and select filter. Then select the instance. Or
I wish there was something like RES where you hover the community name in the list item and it pops up a frame you can choose Block on.
If it were to happen, it would be in !plugins@sh.itjust.works
There are already a few useful scripts there (including a very early LemmyTools). We’ll get there
What I do, is go to All, sort by whatever you normally sort by, and every time you see a community that you don’t want to see, click the 3 dots and block it. At least that’s how it works on the Jerboa app, sure there’s an equivalent option in whatever you use. After a few days my feel cleared up a lot. I personally think that it’s best if people do this vs defederation, but that’s just my opinion.
