Threadiverse is growing and the porn instances are showing up. I blocked some magazines to prevent them from appearing, but some porn are also on random@fedia.io without marked as nsfw for some reason. Is there a way to block this?

If you click on the domain name, it will take you to a feed of all content from that domain. You can block it by clicking the button next to Follow.

So I thought I had blocked lemmynsfw, but content is still showing up in the "random threads" panel on the right hand side. Perhaps there's a bit more to it? Hopefully, kbin will provide the option to block a domain without actually going to it at some point. Appreciate we're super early in the functionality stakes.

Yeah... I just found that if the image posted is hosted (e. g. on redgifs.com) It counts as that domain instead of instance's and therefore not blocked. Maybe you are having the same issue.

It's better to find a way to block posts based on posters' instances.

Well, not only does that force me to view all the content, it also doesn't seem to work. I clicked the ∅ button and nothing happened. I confirmed it by going to the blocked domains list in my settings, which was empty.

Strange. Worked for me.
Can you manually add it to your blocked domains?

[–] omnilynx@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure how, can you explain the process? When I go to my blocked domains (https://fedia.io/settings/blocked/domains), all I see is a box that says "Empty".

There's an open issue at codeberg to allow inputting domains there directly. Like you said, it doesn't make sense to have to go to page filled with exactly what you'd like to block.
