Comment on TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo

  Hi :wave: Indeed it does. I can block whole instances, domains and all that stuff; and they won't see me at all. If i blocked a user, they will not know i exist. It's great.

    How does that work from a technical perspective? Do non-piefed users still see you?

      Not too sure. However i tested it myself; i blocked my main and all new stuff i make on here, doesn't reach it (mine is @fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com)

        Not that I doubt you, I just don’t understand how a user bidirectional block works when other instances don’t support the feature.

  Yeah I’m honestly just waiting for a decent app before I jump over to Piefed. Everything I see about that place excites me because every time they drop a changelog, it’s chock full of great things that improve the end user’s experience. It’s the future of this platform IMO.

    Interstellar is a good app, it supports mbin/lemmy and now, piefed :D

    The thunder/voyager/tesseract devs are interested in a port later on.

      Nice! I’ll definitely check it out. Makes me a little sad because I just discovered the app Summit and it has seriously blown me away with how above and beyond just serving comments and posts that the dev of this app has gone. It’s like Lemmy+ with tagging, trending communities and the ability to make multicommunities!

      But I’ll be checking out Interstellar for sure and if I like, I’ll probably be moving to Piefed then.

        Agh i love summit, too. Hopefully piefed has enough feature parity/the API is similar enough for the dev to implement it. FYI, the only instance [as of now] that works with third party apps is https://preferred.social, not https://piefed.social

        I really wish there was a way to disable notifications for this post (another feature missing here)

        Guess what piefed has? 🌚 Sorry you got downvoted to hell though. It's a good post to raise awareness anyway.

    You may invit lemm.ee users and admins to check out PieFed and try it. Or set up an instance ? ;)

    Even if there is no mobile app you can try its PWA version. It is a mobile website that work as an app. It works well.

    There is tag, flair, filter trump/musk...and each week-end lots news features. :)
