    .World has the highest post activity. But someone pointed out their instance is heavily reposting from Reddit.

    Makes sense why they resemble it so much.

    Genuinely blocking the bad .world made lemmy not ‘just reddit’ and thus so much better.

    If I wanted far right wing corporate sponsored viewpoints like “genocide is necessary so we can survive” I would just make another reddit account.

      If I am on voyager can I block an instance? If I wanted to hear the viewpoints of the view and all the other cable news anchors repeated back ad nauseum I would watch tv

        Yes, you can. But you don’t do it from the instance page, you have to add it to the list of blocked instances in voyager options

          Is Voyager a mobile app? Would it completely hide comments? Connect seems to have killed .world posts but just put a “view” button over comments.

            Yep, a mobile app. I don’t know if it hides comments, but I know it hides posts, at least (I used it to hide lemmit.online post so I’m not able to know if it hides comments as it is a bot instance)

    Ła Venexia daxà senpre gà probleme da brente, anpò con ła scaldada global i pare roba xornaliera, no so de ła sità (o stesso de ła Europa!) ma me insusto migołìn.

    …sorry for the others, I couldn’t help it. Anyway:

    The best part of LW is that it’s a gate to the Fediverse, welcoming everyone from Reddit.

    As such I can relate to the OP. There’s a lot of crap coming from that instance, but also users and content worth interacting with.

        Gàstu scrito quéło in venesian parché chi che no parla ła lengua no lo pol tradur?

        Daseno go scrito in venetan par estro. I almost never have the opportunity to use the language, might as well use it when it’s relevant. If native speakers find it here, I hope that they feel at home. (Minus the flooding… or actually with the flooding, swap “Adriatic” with “Lemmy.World” and here you go.)

        Because I had a bitch of a time lol.

        Sorry!

        Might as well translate the whole thing for the others:
        • [Me] Venice always had problems with flooding, but with the global warming they look like a daily thing, I’m not from the city (or even from Europe!) but it worries/annoys (can’t translate it well) me a bit.
        • [You] Have you written it in Venetian so the ones who don’t speak the language can’t translate it?
        • [Me] Seriously, I wrote it in Venetian in a whim. [insert stuff already in English]
