I blocked [community]@lemmy.ml, and I use a script to block lemmy.ml results themselves. So [community]@lemmy.ml should never, ever show up on my feed. Yet here it is due to a crosspost to news@lemmy.world. This is madness.

    crossposts are completely separate posts that happen to have a link to a different one. they’re not properly connected at all.

      So what you’re saying is, I can block a toxic community, but I am still forced to see when they post the same post again somewhere else.

      Ugh. Can I just block literally every post with a certain word in it? Also every comment with that same word?

    I have no problem with this. I block the community, not the content. If there’s something political going on, the opinions of nazis don’t matter to me, but the opinions of everybody else might.

    Come join lemmy.cafe. It is deferated from lemmy.ml so you would not see anything from any user of that tankie instance.

    I nearly gave up using Lemmy, until I found lemmy.cafe.

      So if an instance is defederated from a second, I wouldn’t see any cross-posts from the second?

        If someone@lemmy.ml cross-posts to a community on lemmy.world, I won’t see it because lemmy.cafe does not receive anything from lemmy.ml users
