  • I think you hit the nail on the head. I’ll just add for clarity that (unless something has changed) Lemmy can only determine cross-posts based on matching links (whether it’s an article, image, etc.). There is no way to correlate text cross-posts, which is why the UI (both the Lemmy web UI and Thunder) put the little “cross-posted from…” note in the body. At the very least, that helps the user find the original post from a cross-post, considering there is no special relationship in the back-end between cross-posted text posts.

    Again, this was my understanding of how things worked last time I looked into this.










  • Hey there! You can block communities in a bunch of different ways!

    • From long-pressing on a post and pressing the Community option and then Block Community.
    • By navigating to a community page, pressing the top banner / info button, and pressing Block Community.
    • By navigating to the account page, settings gear icon, scrolling to Blocked Communities, pressing the plus icon, and searching for a community to block.

    There may even be some more ways I’m not thinking of. Plus if you block a community via the web UI or any other app, Thunder should respect that.

    Let us know if that helps!



  • That’s great, I’m glad to hear the haptic feedback in Thunder works when the system setting is turned on.

    To be honest, it feels like the right behavior for Thunder to respect the system setting. I personally keep “Touch feedback” turned down, because I do not like haptic feedback, and I’m glad Thunder and other apps respect that. I tried Voyager, and you’re right, it seems to override that setting, which doesn’t seem like a good thing to do. :)

    Let me know your thoughts, and whether it’s an acceptable solution that users will need to enable haptics in system settings in order for it to work in Thunder. Thanks!
