i literally JUST installed fakespot lol

In Ecosia’s settings you can set it to primarily use Google results instead of Bing. Makes it a lot more enjoyable to use.

Use a custom DNS to block stuff like this. PiHole, nextdns, adguard etc.

Both uBlock Origin and my piHole are blocking prod.vodvideo.cbsnews.com (which is the video autoplaying). My browser (Librewolf) also blocks it - as blocked because the triggering iframe has the sandbox flag set.. Stuff like this always is down to your own set up.

Click this and then try to post a comment. There’s the issue.

The script redirects all links to your home instance. You posted that comment from https://lemmy.zip/ which is where you have your account, hence no issue. If I link you this post from another instance (see above), you won’t be able to interact.

I’m logged in on sh.itjust.works, I’m not logged in or have an account on lemmy.ml. If I want to interact with posts from lemmy.ml, I want to do so from my home instance of sh.itjust.works whre I’m logged in and have my main account.

That’s not what I’m talking about, I’m talking about the associated/supported links that the app will try to open by default. Sure, that seems to work, and so does this https://ani.social/post/11480352?scrollToComments=true … except if I try to navigate to that URL from my browser/outside of Boost.

Some lemmy instances just aren’t associated with Boost at all, so the app can’t open them natively, e.g this for example https://endlesstalk.org/post/86819672 will take you to the apps browser-view/open outside of Boost regardless of where you click it.

Might be worth bringing it up in the voyager community. That definitely shouldn’t be the case.

They do not. Are you using Sync for Lemmy? It’s broken and doesn’t hide properly

Also use the hide read posts setting

It’s still worth posting, a lot of people browse Lemmy only using the /all feed.

Whelp, guess I’m joining the Boycott US movement

Edit:

Swapped Google for Ecosia

Brave for Librefox (also swapped Firefox Nightly for Iceraven on mobile)

Swapped Uber for Bolt/Uber Eats for Just Eats

Are you asking how to browse your own subscribed feed or how to subscribe to communities, because on either case it’s the same as it is on the Reddit app?

Then subscribe to communities and curate your own feed. Reddits r/all feed has always been unbearable for me

You can filter communities yourself by blocking them. Or subscribe to communities and curate your own feed, just like you can do on Reddit.

I have a list of casual communities here https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 you can use as a starting point. Curating your own feed is the best way to browse Lemmy imo, but if that’s too much, don’t be afraid to block away.

I also ditched Sync recently. Shame, at least Boost is good. I don’t really feel like the other apps quite match either…

Sync is outdated and will be broken in a future Lemmy update, some features already don’t work (such as hiding read posts, they’re meant to stay hidden but they don’t in Sync). I’d suggest trying out Boost for Lemmy, Summit, Thunder, Jerboa, Eternity - roughly in that order.

Lemmy users try not to be insufferable when Windows is mentioned (Challenge) (Impossible)
