Pretty sure it’s possible or there are other options. But you’d probably have to invest a lot of work and time to make it work.

For most people it isn’t worth the effort, which I understand.

Would’ve done so earlier, but didn’t see it before.

Also: What are the downvotes about?

Meh… just another reason added to a looong list about why I never looked back after switching to Linux, back when Vista was introduced.

Yeah, devs like these have the perfect kind of experience considering UI/UX developement to get this done well.

I think it’ll take some time until these apps become that andvanced. Most lemmy apps are in a pretty early stage of developement and still highly WIP.

Some third party reddit apps seem to be planning on moving to lemmy, so maybe we’ll see something better coming around the corner in the near future.

You’re welcome. Hope you’ll find a fix!

Okay, maybe try a chromium based browser (like brave, vivaldi or chrome). If that still doesn’t work, you might want to post something on the support community or use the search function to find a fix or something.

Hopefully, you’ll get faster/better answers there.

Seems to be a server-sided error. Maybe it’s because hexbear is running an older lemmy version on their server?

I hope an admin can tell us more.

Are you using a browser, an app and which one?

I had the same issue before, but it woked after they updated the server. No idea as to why, though.

elephantintheroom, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago) to chat in can vlemmy control what I can or cannot see?

Me too. I check (ir-)regularly if any instances got defederated.

But I think even if it happens, they would inform us. Communication from the admins regarding changes seems very good.

EDIT: You can check it for yourself over here. It doesn’t show exactly which instances are blocked, but it helps.

EDIT 2: Better check VLemmy’s instance page directly. Blocked instances should be listed in there, if there will be any. Last link led to outdated information.

elephantintheroom, 10 months ago to chat in can vlemmy control what I can or cannot see?

Yes, it’s called defederation.

But VLemmy hasn’t blocked any other instance, to my knowledge. Seems like they want to let us users decide what we block.

Thank you for enabling us to be here. Keep up the good work!

I’m quite curious as to how many will actually turn up here. I guess we’ll see.

To nowhere. It may take some time getting used to not watching my favorite content creators, but I think I’ll manage just fine. I’d rather not use youtube-ish sites at all instead of being forced to watch ads every few minutes.

Funny. They can try. I’m not as dependant on their platform as they wish-think. I’ll find other ways or other platforms.

Exactly my opinion. Thanks.
