i regularly browse the all feed to find new interesting content. however there’s a whole lot of small communities being advertised that are just not applicable to me. could there be a quick way to block those? i.e. without having to open the community -> “block community”, since opening the community in the first place takes maybe 5 seconds depending on how fast the network is.

ideally i’d like a quick block button next to the three-dots-menu. (maybe this button is only visible when browsing the all feed? but not when browsing the subscribed feed.) something like this:

when pressing it, it asks you something like this:

and just pressing Enter key confirms it.

so a few months ago i wrote about geo-tagging posts.

the idea is that you can add a geo-id: tag to every post that kinda represents the physical location of an event. so for example when it’s a post about some news in australia, you could add geo-id: australia to the post. then other users can filter posts by physical proximity, i.e. if you’re living in australia, it’s gonna be more relevant to you than if you live in canada.

(for practical reasons it would be cool if you would only have to add that tag once, to the community where it’s posted in, and then every post kinda gets that tag automatically.)

then there could be a custom setting in the lemmy settings that says “only display local news” that filters out everything that is more than, let’s say, 300 km from the “your own location” that you enter in the settings. This could be a client-side setting so that your physical location would never have to be revealed to the lemmy servers at all.

what do you think of this?
