Is Lemmy Connect the first and currently only way for individual users to block instances? I know you can block instances if you host an instance yourself, but not everyone wants to do so.

We should be promoting this feature if indeed we are the only one with it as it has been in popular demand, especially lately, with Threads now being a thing.

    Yes we’re the only one as far as I know! We’re also the only one with:

    • filter keywords
    • user tagging
    • auto-read on scroll past

    And hopefully in the future Multi-communities.

    Edit: we might be the only ones with swipe actions and swipe navigation? It was surprisingly difficult to add both at the same time.

      Oh sweet! I didn’t even notice you added user tagging. If I could make yet another request: adding the ability to tag from the post and comment options rather than just on the user page options. I mostly used the feature with comments on Sync but sometimes I’ll tag right from a feed and a post itself.

      The swipe navigation I’m slowly getting used to and liking it.

      Is multi-communities where you merge communities of the same name but on different servers?

        I believe it’s where you group communities together for greater organization. You could have separate feeds for different areas of interest.
