Request: Feed view - All (filtered)

Lemmy is growing daily, which is awesome! But it would be nice to be able to see new content coming in, but filter certain communities and users at the same time.

I see comments where people say “just use subscribed”, and that’s fine, but I’d like to see what’s new, filtering things I know I don’t want to see.

For example, I see city communities becoming very active, good for them! I know I will never be interested in let’s say a particular city’s community. I’d like to block it and continue seeing the rest of all the new stuff.

Similarly, the same is true for some users. It would also be nice if the keyword and instance filters would be hidden.

Thus I propose a new feed view “All (filtered)”.

Thanks for all the great work on the app!

I was really distraught over the whole Reddit Spez-gate meltdown, and Memmy has been like a breath of fresh air.

I too browse All but am not interested in quite some of the communities that pop up from time to time. But in my experience, just tapping on the community and blocking it seems to do what you've requested. Is that not working for you?

Edit: one related request I'd like to sneak in, is to add "Block Community" to the burger menu for the post. Currently it only has Block User, which forces us to go into the community first in order to be able to block it.
- Is blocking that community per account or per instance? I am just curious if you have to block it from an account on each separate instance you have an account for.
  
  Yeah I believe you'd have to do it per account. I also think any clients that implement filtering "globally" are bound to cause confusion in users who will forget that they blocked on one account and wonder why they can't find it on another.
  
  Memmy doesn't even seem to have a centralized place to see blocked communities yet, so I think that would need to be implemented first.
  
  Thanks for the information! Yeah, that aspect is definitely confusing. I bet it will be a feature available at a later time. For now, I will manage!
