As an added bonus, you can also use the
https://kbin.social/d/[instance domain here]scheme to block entire domains, if you find that they include content you don't want to see in your feed.Dammit, that's awesome, didn't even see the block button - you got me bonus hunting now... :)
Bonus #2 - Turns out the /d/ parameter works for ANY domains with content posted on Kbin or in your feed.
For instance, let's say you wanna see (or block) everything posted from Facebook:
https://kbin.social/d/facebook.com
or Twitter:
https://kbin.social/d/twitter.com
I gotta hand it to Ernest - this platform has got some kickass code under the hood.
Are you suggesting I can block any media posted to kbin from those websites!? My god....I could block the porn gifs at the source. Ha ha! Get less fucked, timeline!
On the minus side, since instances only have to take on the data from whatever their users are specifically subbed to and they ignore everything else, I wonder if users subbing to multiple entire instances like that will drastically increase load in a way that would prove difficult for a young server?
I'm not a tech person at all, so I may have misunderstood, but isn't kbin's federation already backed up temporarily because of the wealth of combined activity?
In all meanings of the phrase, in this case apparently.
