is there a way to block all elon musk and twitter news?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone made an extension to do just that. It blurs out all news about billionaires.

I can't remember what it's called, though.

Ace, yeah that's the one!

The Connect client can hide posts based on keywords. I switched from Jerboa purely for that one feature.

I just made the same switch. Out of curiosity: were you able to up-downvote with jerboa? Exiting thread and getting back in, my votes are gone.

I noticed that occasionally. I just assumed it differed based on the instance of the post or something. My Lemmy experience has been a lot better since I switched away from lemmy.world. Used to have crashes but haven't crashed since switching.But, lots of stuff is changing, so maybe it was something else.

Lemmy.world got way too big too fast and the small team behind it can't handle it all.

Everyone should disperse to a random stable instance, or make their own, and it'll be better for the health of the network.
