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

[–] mzesumzira@leminal.space 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ah thank you, I'll look into it

[–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.
