You can go to that magazine, and over on the right side you can click the block button. It should be right next to Subscribe. I've done this for a lot of communities that are in languages I cannot read.
This is what I’ve been doing as well. Lots of German for me too, but this has made a difference just blocking a few magazines.
Yeah I've only blocked like 3 or 4 magazines total and I have almost no German posts in my feed anymore. It was pretty easy
Same here too. The big one was ich_iel clogged up a lot of space with German posts and then a couple smaller ones and I rarely see any now.
Yes, but it's annoying playing whack-a-mole especially adding in the sports team magazines. And if they do add auto-translate in the future it's gonna be annoying to un-block all of them, though images likely will still be an issue.
Also note that blocked magazines can still show up in the sidebar.
This plus duplicated content/communities/discussion (where there actually isn't a different perspective) really makes me think that the idea of how these sites are structured is flawed.
I don't disagree. However I spend most of my time in kbin.social/sub where I've already curated most of the groups I care to look at and engage with. I really only venture into /all when I'm kinda bored. Thus, so far, it hasn't really been too terribly problematic to do that.
It would be nice to declare a language whitelist and have a filter for it, but I suspect kbin has some more important things on the To Do list for the moment, and maybe devs will get around to it when they've got a breather. We're likely going to have another influx on the 1st after the alien site kicks app devs in the nuts.
Do these parameters stick? I am under the impression that most of them are reset at some point in some weird fashion.
I've been doing this too, but, why do they show up in the first place if I'm not subscribed to them?
