Hi all

Is there an Android client that allows me to avoid Reddit posts which are currently crossposted and overwhelming my Lemmy timeline?

Something like Domain exclude as on the Relay for Reddit client.

Thank-you in advance

    I don’t know about any clients but if you block the lemmit.online bot and the zerobytes.monster bot the reposts will drop by like 90%.

      I’ll have to see about doing that. I don’t want to give reddit any clicks.

        From my understanding when you click on the lemmit.online link it brings you to a redirected archive, not the actual link.

        Even still, I agree because it’s annoying having posts with guaranteed no comments. Those posts only work if there is engagement surrounding it. No engagement and it’s just spam.

    Added this to the [email protected] roadmap

    Some of the main bots that are posting these are all on the same instance that are dedicated to Reddit posts, so you can block those whole instances in your settings

    Just block the repost communities, there are very few communities with both reposts and an active userbase.

    Since reddthat is on lemmy 0.19.1, you should be able to block instance. You can find this setting from lemmy web UI, not sure if it’s already on lemmy mobile apps

      Thanks! Much appreciated.

      I’m using Jerboa (mostly) and Thunder. Couldn’t see it, maybe I missed it. I’ll look again.

    This will probably not help OP, as he’s asking for an Android client.

    Desktop users: install Firefox, uBlock Origin, then add reddit.com to your personal user filters. This way you can still access Reddit if you really want to, but it’ll make you think twice before proceeding.

    Block bots in your settings. Uncheck “show bots”.

    I think you can just use a firewall. Instead of content from banned sites, an empty field will be displayed.
