Personally, I feel like having the block button constantly appearing next to every magazine name might be overkill. I'd be happy to have an interface like ...
Yeah this is definitely needed. I am browsing all/active just so I can gather up some magazines I'm interested in but I'm hit with a ton of non-English mags/channels. I'm blocking them as I see them but there are a ton. It's all part of the growing pains for sure so I'm not going to be impatient about it or anything, but this is a needed feature.
And then there is a block button in the right side panel, next to the Subscribe link. At least, for desktop...
For mobile (even in "desktop site" view), it seems to appear beneath the list of posts/etc rather than as a right side panel. Just use find-in-page and search for "Subscribe"; should be right next to that.
can only speak for myself, but I generally like to browse through everything, there's always some interesting things popping up on magazines I haven't subscribed to yet. I think subscriptions is more like a personal feed and "all" is like browsing. and blocking stuff is- well, to block out stuff I'm really not interested in
I haven't tried it, but I assume it would show you only local content Kbin instead of including whatever users or content originated on another instance.
I think a useful option would be if someone could code a pop up dialog showing the magazines info (with the subscribe and block button) that appears when your cursor hovers over the name of the magazines.
I would think the best course to block a magazine would be on the magazine itself, or like in your screenshot maybe have block options under "more" to prevent accidental clicks. Or add some more whitespace between the title of the magazine and the block option.
I just wish I could hide individual posts that I'm not interested in. Reddit and Squabbles have this, and it makes cleaning up the junk from my feed a lot more convenient.
Sync for Lemmy does this – it’s only on android & unfortunately it doesn’t seem like the ‘hide’ marker persists across devices. that seems to be the issue with everything i’ve tried
with all the garbage out there, this was probably my most favourite function on reddit, filtered out like 80% of the content I wasn't interested in. I think going to a magazine everytime just to block it is just a pain in the ass
