not reading that. lemmy devs, please get on blocking "news" sources in the vein of sun, nypost, etc.

edit: I don't mean the mods should ban domains. I want the option to not show submissions from certain domains, like the ones I mentioned, as there's zero chance I'd ever read anything from them. a buncha reddit (and lemmy) clients have that option.

You mean implementing a functionality with which users can block posts from certain URLs to show up on their feeds?

[-] glitching@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

boost for reddit (and lemmy) has the option to ignore posts from certain domains. since I have no intention ever reading anything from the domains I mentioned, I'd appreciate it in the web version.

god i wish we had a lemmy/piefed enhancement suit with the filter module :(

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That's not something the admins can do. Ask the devs for that.

[-] Microw@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago

That's why their comment above says "devs", not "admins" lol

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Must have been edited. It did say admins before.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

doesn't look like it, there's no ninja edits on lemmy afaik

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sure there are. If you are on the web client, there's a three-dot-button below your comment. Press that and a popup opens up, where you can select "Edit" and there you go: ninja edit.

So according to my quick test here, my ninja edit registered as a regular edit. Not sure if this differs on different instances?

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It only ever shows the timestamp of the last time you edited your post. And the post first containing the word "admins" and then "devs" does have the "edited" mark next to it. We don't know when or how often it was edited, only when the last edit was made.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

ninja edit doesn't seem edited at all.

[-] Microw@piefed.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Keep in mind that edits can take different amount of time to federate to different instances.

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, and sometimes they don't reach different instances at all.

[-] Microw@piefed.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I would like whomever downvoted my comment to please take back that downvote, thanks.

Or educate yourself and learn to filter based on the source of the data. Doesn't mean the reporting is not factual but it may be embellished to serve a narrative.
