Can anyone tell me how I can block an entire instance on kbin? I don’t speak German so I want to remove feddit.de from my feed. I found how to block a single magazine/community but not how to block an entire instance.
Can anyone tell me how I can block an entire instance on kbin? I don’t speak German so I want to remove feddit.de from my feed. I found how to block a single magazine/community but not how to block an entire instance.
Kbin does have tags for the language of posts, and they are accurately represented in these German posts, but I can’t find a way to filter them without just blocking the server!
As a quick fix, a user script:
// ==UserScript== // @name Kbin: delete articles in other languages // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 0.1 // @description Auto-delete posts in languages you do not speak. // @author luphoria (https://kbin.social/u/trent) // @match https://kbin.social/ // @icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=kbin.social // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { 'use strict'; const allowedLangs = ["en", "es"]; // Edit this to all of the languages you can speak / want to see in your feed let deleteUnwantedPosts = () => { const postTags = document.getElementsByClassName("kbin-bg"); for (let i = 0; i < postTags.length; i++) { let postTag = postTags[i]; if (postTag && postTag.textContent && postTag.textContent !== "OC" && !allowedLangs.includes(postTag.textContent)) { // OC tags are the only elements (i know of) with the same class. // Delete element's parent's parent's parent if (postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent) { console.log(`Removing post labeled \`${postTag.textContent}\`: "${postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent}"`); postTag.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.remove(); } } } } deleteUnwantedPosts(); // on load // for continuous feeds let observeDOMChanges = () => { const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutationsList) { deleteUnwantedPosts(); }); observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true }); } observeDOMChanges(); })();
