As a former user of RiF, one thing I used a lot was filtering out media / sites I don’t want to hear from, places I don’t trust etc.
It would be a fantastic addition to keywords and users/communities blocking already in place. Like I don’t want to see stuff from youtube, for instance. Or the Daily Mirror…
Keep up the good work, so far Connect is my favorite app to lurk the lemmyverse!
dev should basically copy all sync features, adding to user requests. i would encourage such approach, no shame. but he could only do so much by himself: force be with him.
