  • If you want to block entire domain in kbin, that’s possible, but I don’t know easy way to navigate to the domain page. If you enter the adress manually you can do it. So for example if you wanted to block lemmynsfw.com, you would navigate to page https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com and block it with the button in the sidebar of the domain page. Be warned though - if you visit this page you might see the content you wanted to block, so treat this link as NSFW. Also, from what I’ve seen - microblog posts from blocked domain may still appear, but if you don’t use microblog view this should be enough to avoid seeing posts from blocked domain


  • communities in lemmy are magazines on kbin. On the sidebar (default to the right) you can find magazine info and buttons to subscribe to it or block it. The original post came from lemmy, so there might be confusion as to the naming of the things.

  • On Mastodon there are levels of moderation for other instances and admins can set certain instances in such a way, that posts from that domain only appear to users who subscribe to said domain. On Kbin the user can block entire domain. I’m not suggesting you should ditch lemmy (it has post filtering based on post language which I miss on Kbin), but rather - maybe some sort of similar functionality should be proposed as feature request on lemmy repo. Unfortunately, that won’t resolve the problem fast. Moderating tools are still a bit lacking, as often mentioned on the topic of beehaw defederating from many instances.


  • @PeanutsBeside Some magazines (KBin equivalents to subs on reddit, called “communities” on Lemmy) are synced through activity pub in this federated system. So the resource you browse is not actually on KBin, but it might be somewhere else - for example some lemmy instance like lemmy world. Those resources are not synced since creation, but rather from the moment it was first looked up here. Also not everything is synced if nobody is subscribed to said federated community. If you would like to see the content on original instance, you can open the thread here on kbin, and under the post there are options - look for one called Copy Url To Fediverse, then open the link in new tab in your browser - you’ll see where the post originate from. It’s just a nature of federated communities. I’m not sure if all the old posts will be synced - likely not - but you should be able to see new posts






  • The NSFW blur is sometimes not applied correctly. For example if you have turned on displaying Avatars (or Magazine icons) then those elements are blurred instead of the post preview itself - at least that’s my experience on Vivaldi browser. Styling might be interpreted differently on other browsers. And sometimes it takes a second to apply the style (I think after page reload) so if it’s high up there on the list one might still see NSFW content unblured.
