From the AMA (ask-me-anything) with the creators of #Lemmy —
I assume this is a request for a user to be able to block everything from a whole server instance — all communities, all users, all posts, all comments, etc.

Mastodon certainly has a lot of creative, unique apps. You can definitely find a fit just for you.
But I think the #Threadiverse is having it's own golden era right now with a plethora of choices for us finicky #Fediverse users. The best list I could find for #Lemmy is attached, but it's still missing a few newcomers, like @bean
Nothing near as comprehensive for #kbin yet (the API is still getting it's legs) but there is the amazing @ArtemisApp
I used #kbin & #lemmy for a couple days on a measured rate internet connection and it sucked ~2gb of my credit (half my credit for a month). Yikes. I don’t know which one did the damage but I suspect kbin since I had images disabled on the browser I used for lemmy. I guess I’ll have to step away from the #threadiverse until I find a text-based linux app for one of them.
I was trying to work out why it is that when I receive a notification and I click “view context” nothing happens if the msg came from lemmy.world. The screen blinks for a second but gives no prior posts. Well after digging into this, I see that #lemmyWorld has just recently joined the exclusive #walledGarden of Cloudflare....
Ah, thanks for the info. But note that there are two “show context” buttons. In principle, if I am on a broken version I should be able to visit the parent on the originating node & possibly side-step the bug. But in this case the other node blocks me (Cloudflare).
Also note that I would still like a way to block CF instances. I’m in the #threadiverse to participate in the free world & prefer not to feed centralized walled gardens from which I am a refugee. Oppressors should not be able to thrive in the #fedi.
Apart from running it well and keeping up to date (recent update seems to have gone well, with a nice example of instances and admins helping each other!?), some redditers seek the big instances?? Curious how communities will adapt.
My first impression of sync: it's good, it allows me to use #Lemmy the way I used #Reddit. Don't know how much better it gets with an Account, as I only have one for kbin. Some apps only allow limited home instances without an account, here I can freely choose whichever.
I see there’s no #indieweb#lemmy / #kbin community. Anyone interested in starting one up? Or maybe there’s another better place (aside from Mastodon) that people thread stuff? I’m happy to start it but kinda new to the whole community as it is. That and I already admin/mod a few #threadiverse communities.
@useless_modern_god yup... I used to be very active on Reddit between 2017-2019, experimented briefly with Mastodon in 2018, but moved here pretty permanently when Space Karen bought Twitter last year. it's been fascinating watching the new waves each time he does a new idiotic thing, and the #Rexxit wave was even more exciting as it brought a different crowd and boosted the #Threadiverse, which is really good for the Fediverse ecosystem. I'm now experimenting with #firefish but am not sold yet, though the UI is very slick.
The biggest issue with the #threadiverse - findability. The second biggest issue is #federation issues.
Still early days, I get it - but using search engines outside of your home instance (e.g., https://sub.rehab/ or https://browse.feddit.de/ ) to find magazines is bad enough, but then for an instance to not federate with the one that a magazine is hosted on is another.
I'm also of the mind that the aforementioned instances should be removed from searches for breaking federation.
Kinda funny considering #Lemmy got the ml domain to mean Marxist-Leninist but they're probably gonna get fucked by re-nationalisation of the Mali country TLD. #fediverse#threadiverse
@idoubtit I’m on Lemmy.world but not kbin but I can actively view kbin.social and post to their magazines. Are you maybe on 2 instances that aren’t federated with each other? #fediverse#threadiverse
You can be the one to create the kbin page on wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)
