I don’t believe that there’s a lemmy-ui or server side option for it, but some mobile apps do let you block instances which for me is good enough.

Sadly I don’t think it’s possible on the Lemmy-ui/server level, but some mobile apps allow you to (maybe just one, note sure. Either Memmy or Voyager since I use them interchangeably). I also look forward to the ability to block instances fully on desktop.

GitHub, read the community description and the file on contribution.

I really love the updated one. Looks great on the iOS screenshot too.

I’m getting tired of the software project managers coming in and writing walls of text about Lemmy or the fediverse to be honest

Thanks I can’t wait to go back to sleep with my Astolfo (gay) sounds noise machine

Wefwef lets you hide read posts I believe. Also, you can untick “Show read posts” in your Lemmy settings on desktop and it’ll hide posts for any apps. It’s sorta very generous with how it counts posts as read but still

-Someone correct me if I’m wrong but GDPR doesn’t apply fully to small organizations (less than 250 employees) and mostly only applies if you offer goods and services which is not the case if you’re running a Lemmy instance. If you’re an instance owner with no employees because you’re not a registered business of any sort, you’re not on the hook for anything-

Then again, I am neither European or knowledgeable in GDPR so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Edit: I am wrong see below

How do I trust a random XMPP server more or as much as I trust Signal to protect my data? You’re telling me if the government comes knocking for metadata on some user on a small server that the owner isn’t going to just give it away? What about anyone else on other connected servers?

You’re asking me to trust someone who hasn’t shown that they’re actively working towards privacy goals vs a centralized solution from a company that’s shown they care about privacy?

Either way, you have to trust someone to take care of your data and I do not trust a small server owner more than an entity that’s proven they do not give information to governments. Gotta pick one of two evils, I guess.

Not having many problems with seeing Lemmy world posts on my sh.it just.works account, but I know there’s been some instability in both instances which is probably why some things aren’t propagating properly. Yesterday and the day before were pretty rough.

May I present to you this wonderful little projects:

Imagine your friend has two cars. When he isn’t using one of them, the car is in his driveway. When you see your friend in town driving his car, you automatically are able to tell where his other car is: in his driveway. However you can only tell where the other car is when you observe either one of the cars. This is a fundamental property of entanglement. Entangled particles can only be described as a system and not independently of each other because observing them individually changes their properties.

Quantum entanglement is vaguely similar. When you have two particles with a correlated state, you can know what state the particle is by observing only one of the particles. Say particle 1 has a positive spin, you know by observing particle 1 that particle 2 has a negative spin. This is also applicable in computing, where if you know the state of one quantum gate, you can tell the state of another quantum gate when you observe it.

It’s important to note that particles are only in a correlated state as long as you don’t actively manipulate them to change their state. If you were to manually give particle 1 a negative spin then you wouldn’t be able to tell what state particle 2 is in.

Quantum entanglement has a lot of different possible applications in the real word. Things like quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution for example. The overarching concept is that by observing a quantum system you change its properties.
