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.
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
If someone@lemmy.world cross-posts a link to a community on lemmy.ml, I won’t see it because lemmy.cafe does not receive anything from lemmy.ml communities.
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.
Aww poor thing had to see a cross post… someone get her a butt plug and a blankie
