That’s cool man, big up.

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.

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.

Well, go on, don’t tease us, what are you after?

aw that’s a shame, I was hoping this would actually be a decent romp.

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…

It’s better if you untick “show read posts” in your lemmy settings.

I made a list of casual communities on Lemmy awhile ago https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 just subscribe to stuff you like and curate your own feed. Block the politics subs. Boom.

Lobsters has blocked the Brave browser since a scam in 2019. We still block it because they lie about following standards so they scrape and sell copies of websites. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but they have previously targeted Lobsters by name and have a years-long pattern of bad behavior.

Well, that’s a new one. What you see if you visit it via Brave Browser.

I think maybe they’re testing things on a regional basis and it just hasn’t hit me yet. I dunno, either way I’m happy for now lol

XManager stills works fine for me, to be honest.

On the surface I’m against this but I guess it depends on what we get out of it. Ultimately, leaving the EU puts us in an awkward spot. We have to pick and choose our battles.

In a general election, you vote for your local representative to represent you in parliament.

Ridings are what Canada call their electoral districts. An area in which a member of parliament stands for election.

Nepean is a location in Ottawa. Mark is running for election there.

Bella is vegan too, funnily enough.
