Their app WAS more user friendly. This whole thing is them buying Alien Blue, deciding it wasn't monetized enough, and ruining it

if you didn't know, this guy is great. he has a youtube channel where he electrocutes himself for ~~fun~~ your education
you can think of them as different windows into a similar structure. They look different, they'll assemble the data a bit different, and might even send slightly different forms--but they're close enough that it's all legible, all interpretable into their formats.
And kbin and lemmy have very similar formats! But it's possible for mastodon (the twitter analogue) to interact with kbin and lemmy as well. Even though they present the data in a different way, with different sorting criteria for your feed, and different ideas on how subscribing to a community or a person works, at the end of the day the formats are very similar: a parent post with a bunch of comments.
and silo'd academia has only gotten 100x worse since then. i can't even imagine how much progress has been lost thanks to greedy academic "journals" keeping anyone from reading their papers, stopping widespread peer review, and destroying scientists' ability to assemble wide bodies of evidence
Completely insane that a judge could order that an entire family's phones be so thoroughly monitored at all. Once upon a time it was a big deal to even get a wiretap.
Second, before he bought twitter, almost everything he said there was him trolling or joking. You had to take everything he said there with a grain of salt. If you wanted to hear his actual opinions on things you needed to either listen to shareholder meeting or watch one of the many interviews he does.
people say the same shit about trump. "take him seriously, not literally." musk is an egotistical moron who will change his opinion day by day, claiming after the fact that anything he said that was blatantly wrong was just a joke
it's uncanny
It doesn't look like it's possible in the app. You'd have to log in on a browser, go to your profile settings, and go to the "blocked" tab.
For what it's worth... I think the mobile browser experience is currently superior to Jerboa anyway. The scrolling is smoother and if you open posts in a new tab, you can just close the tab when you're done and you don't wind up back at the top of the feed. I have high hopes for the app but man does it drive me nuts when I try to use it.
I don't think it's yet possible for users to block instances. As far as I know, you'd have to sign up on an instance that has lemmynsfw blocked.
it's both. if you sit at the top you will see brand new posts come in one at a time and then occasionally get a giant flood as a new community gets federated.
it's maddening. by far the biggest issue with this system.
It's a bug. Not sure if it'll get fixed anytime soon, though... the guy who runs my instance explained it to me here: https://lemm.ee/comment/171585
