In the screenshot you can see that there is currently one rising community overloading my post feed. I assume this is happening to many users. I understand that I can block the community but that's not really what I want. I think that this problem could be solved by introducing a mechanism to dynamically limit the number of such posts based on user preferences. For example I could set this community to appear less often and an algorithm could apply this preference to my feed order. I know that the proverbial algorithms used by major social networks are frowned upon. That happens for a good reason - they are opaque, proprietary and often show signs of bad intention. They are used for political and social influence, to silence opposing voices and a whole array of other nefarious goals like playing of people's fear, outrage, etc. The thing I'm suggesting would have to be transparent by design and fully optional. That's a social media "algorithm" I'd like to use. I'd like to hear what other people think about this idea.

Upvotes on both posts and comments show in the UI when clicked but disappear when view is refreshed. 0.10.10 on S21. Steps to recreate bug:

• upvote a post it comment - upvote registers in app by first displaying a brief rotating animation and a blue circle to indicate that the item has been upvoted
• pull down to refresh the post - view is reloaded and the previously upvoted item is no longer marked with a blue circle

I have tried this on different instances and using different accounts. The same functionality works using Jerboa. Please advise

Edit: I tried wiping the app data but the problem persists.

Edit: changed title to better reflect the problem.

I'm looking for a privacy respecting service that will let me call a landline in EU. Please recommend something and thanks in advance.

So this post from lemmynsfw.com just popped up in my feed. It is not tagged as nsfw although it obviously is. I have tried attaching a screenshot but Jerboa throws an error. I have nsfw material turned off in my account settings, so this wouldn't happen if the post would be tagged properly. I'm using Jerboa. I could just ban the whole community but it is not the solution in looking for, because the ban works on app level and I have separate accounts for separate needs. Also banning the community is a reactory move and I would need to repeat that for every offending community in the future. That means that my feed would still be getting occasional nsfw material. Please advise.
