Someone made a post years ago of all the super users and I blocked them all and it was a really fun experience until others rose up again and I didn't have a list.
I ended up blocking anyone with 6 digit post karma that I came across.
Wow, I remember that awesome post. I did the same thing as you. And you're right, it made for a much better experience for a while there.
I have discovered blocking early and often helps a lot on lemmy, too.
Lemmy is too quiet though, I block and sometimes tag but I genuinely see the same people in these threads every day, I wouldn't be long being alone in the platform.
Is there a way beside Sync to tag people? It's the feature I miss most in any other client, and the main reason I keep using that instead of an open source alternative.
I read Lemmy from Mastodon and user notes are a core feature
Ah thank you, I'll look into it
the experience is a little different, since, instead of seeing articles with a comment count, I see comments and articles in reverse chronological order all together on one timeline. essentially, the Lemmy community "boosts" every comment and article, and I subscribe to the community.
it's a great way to find conversations happening RIGHT NOW but it is not a very good way to see which threads are popular/up voted
as far as I can tell, direct messages and user reports are flat-out broken between the services, so you'll want to maintain a Lemmy account anyway for those uses.
if you can get over all that, you might like it. it's twitter-like.
I think I'll keep both and see which I enjoy best. Thank you for your explanation, it was appreciated.
