[Feature Request] Block communities while staying in All (lemmy.world)

Currently, if I’m browsing all and wish to block a community I have to click into the community, bring up the community feed and then block. If I could block a community from the three dots button in the post while still in the all view it would be amazing.

At this point Voyager is free and beyond my wildest expectations this early so I want to reiterate my appreciation for the work on the app and understanding if this isn’t a high priority feature. Thanks for everything so far just giving my feedback.

You can now block by long pressing on the community name!

Can you make it so you can block from the 3 dots as well instead of having so many secret gestures

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Probably not. There’s too many items there already, and requiring users to scroll the menu is not good.

[–] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok I still think 3 dots is better though

[–] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe you can hold anywhere on the comment if that's possible

[–] moeggz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is amazingly fast!

[–] shashi154263@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It works, but there are two problems:

I will have to remember this.
It also activates Chrome's long press action (Menu bar), so I've to close that first.

[–] FutileRecipe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The dev can't exactly help you with that. At a certain point, you have to remember some things. And you don't want to clutter every menu, else you'll have to scroll through which detracts from the UX.
It doesn't in Vanadium, which is Chromium based, for what it's worth.

Wow! I was really wanting this option today and you literally did it so fast! Incredible work

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was just sitting here wishing for that exact feature as I was scrolling through the new posts when I found this post! I've been super impressed by the speed that the app creator is updating and tweaking everything and it's a minor thing overall.

[–] moeggz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yup! Don’t want to seem ungrateful! I love this app and how far it has progressed. Just sharing feedback of things that would make it even better.

[–] Distributed@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just got merged in and deployed should be up in a few mins

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

You're awesome, thanks!!

[–] moeggz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Y’all are amazing!! Thank you so much!

Basically just copy what jerboa does right?

[–] XbSuper@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

You can already do this with connect

Edit: guess people don't like being informed of other apps functionalities.

[–] moeggz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And with Voyager it was just added.

'guess people don't like being informed of other apps functionalities.'

Maybe it's just unhelpful in the community for a different app?

[–] XbSuper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's offering people options. I get that it doesn't help jerboa, but I gave a solution to the issue they're having.

[–] Tippon@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

You posted an hour after the devs had said that the request had been merged and was available. That's not being helpful, that's advertising another app.
