Not sure if that renders the same for everyone, but I’m very tired of seeing the big emoji letter usernames. Is there an option to convert these usernames to ASCII or otherwise not render them? If not, could this be something that could be implemented? I don’t want to resort to blocking everyone, but I may if there’s no other choice. It’s very visually annoying and distracting.
I’m okay with that, hence why I want it as an option I can opt-in to. If it’s the same person posting the same post and title to two different communities, I’d rather just see the one for my main instance and miss the conversation on the other, rather than seeing my feed cluttered with duplicates. I’m not unsubscribing to the other one, I won’t miss content unique to it.
Do you have any suggestions for a better one? I’m all ears, but the solution definitely isn’t “hey guys stop crossposting”. Any other solution would require structural refactoring of Lemmy, and changes like that are not easy. I saw a post talking about combining sibling communities, but that would get very messy very fast. This solution is pretty elegant imo. Just a checkbox that says “I prefer posts from my main instance, hide any crossposts” would be perfect. No one has to subscribe to sibling communities either; if you’re fine sticking to one, then the issue doesn’t apply.
Is there a way to hide posts that have identical titles on identical sibling communities? My feed gets cluttered really fast when I’m subbed to a big community on two different instances because people often crosspost. I’m tempted to leave one, but I don’t want to miss anything.
Oh shit, perfect! How did I miss this? Thanks much!
Is there any chance we’ll see another paid premium tier that only removes ads? I really don’t want another subscription, but I also can’t justify $100 just to remove ads.
In what world is this a “gotcha”, mine is plaintext lol.
