Any Way to remove the "Random Posts" part of the sidebar? German

A list of communities on the sidebar would be much more useful than the random stuff/people.

Yes Please

@ernest this is a great suggestion

Btw, I'm on kbin.social on my phone so this isn't an issue for me, thankfully. When I go to the All feed I don't see any NSFW stuff, either (I don't recall blocking any NSFW magazines so not sure why).

You are not human so you don’t feel the pain, anyway.

Fun fact: Janet is me.

Have the same problem. I already blocked /m/random but the sidebar still has random posts sometimes.

You can't trust people to tag all their NSFW properly, so there will inevitably appear NSFW on there, even if I turned it off in the settings.

Here's a strange observation I made today. Browsing /m/random/microblog/newest, get a massive NSFW image from mastodon.world, no blur, no filter, nothing. But if I go to the original post on mastodon.world, all the content is blacked out and you need to click to show. So clearly the user flagged their NSFW stuff, but the flag itself didn't federate to kbin, just the image. That's got to be a bug right?

ok thx. I blocked it throught ublock Origin now but that only works on firefox, not on mobile...

curiosityLynx, 9 months ago

Firefox on mobile also has adblockers? Besides, on mobile the sidebar moves to the bottom of the page so it's generally not visible anyway. Third option would be to apply for beta access to the Artemis app that's in development for kbin.

It can hide this part of the sidebar as well as known NSFW domains.

Sadly this does no longer work for me. Few scripts seem to be broken for some reason. Is it the only script you use?

DarkThoughts, 9 months ago

I use it together with kbin usability pack. What exactly does not work for you? It still hides the random posts for me but I toggled the NSFW option off, as I don't mind that type of content.

gabriell, 9 months ago

It simply does not hide random posts anymore. Weird. If I wasn't so lazy I would investigate it but I'm lazy so I don't know:)

DarkThoughts, 9 months ago

Are you sure you didn't just accidentally uncheck the setting?

gabriell, 9 months ago

I'm sure. I disabled all other extensions but it's still broken. I just use ublock for now.

A random list already seems to me a crappy function that almost nobody will appreciate, but here it is worse because it includes what is explicitly blocked.

It has been requested from day one.

I found that blocking the NSFW domains removed a lot of what I did not want to see in the sidebar. But, that may not help if you want the option to browse those forums sometimes. It's not a guarantee that you'll never see anything of the sort show up there, as plenty of domains allow NSFW content, but by removing the ones focused on it you'll dilute the chances significantly.

Per your suggestion, I have added this to KES here. Example: image

I'm cool with it being there but it should at least be blurred until you go into the thread like other NSFW content.

RheingoldRiver, 9 months ago

with stylus add this:

section.active-users.section,
section.posts.section,
section.entries.section {
    display: none;
}

You can add or remove some of the selectors if you don't want all of them; section.posts.section is the one for posts. But I want all 3 of these sections hidden.
