Browsing all seems to generally be the best option for me with how I like to use the platform. But this does come along with a need to block lots of communities with content I known I’m never going to want.
So I’d like the ability to long press a post in c/all and click an option to block the community that the post is from.
Right now my flow is:
Post menu -> community -> community menu -> block community -> go back to c/all
This feature would remove 3 out of 5 of those actions.
Bonus if posts from that community are removed from the the feed immediately, maybe just new ones below the current location on the feed.
While using the app myself I ran into a similar “issue” where subscribing to a new community would take quite a few steps. I’ve been playing around with the idea to nest the community menu inside the post menu, which would reduce the amount of steps. I’ve been trying out the following setup:
In parallel I’m working on a bigger update that includes notifications and widgets, so it might take a bit longer to release this update. But hopefully this makes your requested flow to block communities a bit easier (:
Nice, I like it.
To borrow an idea from Arctic, could the community sub-menu also include a “block instance”?
The connect app has that option with the three dots by the post.
Boost for Lemmy app does this.
Im using Memmy on iOS and can do exactly this. From c/all, tap the three dots on the top right of the post -> blocking and reporting -> block community. Still gotta refresh c/all to have the block take affect, but it’s all done without even having to open the post.
