Is there a way to just block by platform on here?
The only thing I’ve seen that annoys me about Mastodon posts on Lemmy is that they go by the hashtags and sometimes get posted to communities that don’t fit because of that due to how certain tags have ambiguous meanings in the current zeitgeist. Like “cooking” may not be related to food so a brainrot tiktok meme where a kid is “getting cooked”/doing something stupid gets posted to FoodPorn.
I like it. It’s nice to be connected.
Are you seeing this on Lemmy? How ?
It was in the feed under one of the Lemmy communities shown in the screenshot. When a mastodon post tags a Lemmy community, it gets posted to it.
Not trying to shame a specific user since it’s bigger than just them, so don’t want to link to it directly. But the hashtag / community tag soup is common enough to get annoying.
Why would you want to block it? The entire point of federation is interoperability.
In a nutshell, Mastodon has a different culture than the threadiverse. I’m not a fan of micro-blogging and would be content not having that cross over. It can continue to do so for those who want it, but it would be nice to be able to block it out if you don’t.
I understand.
It’s all connected, bro. Lemmu, piefed, mastadon, probably something else I haven’t heard of
probably something else I haven’t heard of
Jizzwallaby, it’s the new thing bro!
Given how terrible most other open social sites names are, I would not be surprised

No I know that. I thought he could follow or something.
This is how Tesseract formats stuff.
Wait, do other clients filter those out? I’ve only been running Tesseract for a few weeks. Granted, I don’t see the hashtag spam super often so I don’t recall if I was seeing it this much before I started using this or not.
No, it’s the way it colours links and mentions. It’s very distinctive and the only client that does anything like it to my knowledge.
Ah, okay. Thanks. Was hoping it was just a client thing that caused them to show up.
Gonna put in a feature request to see if it’s possible to hide those.
Admiral Patrick is super responsive so I imagine it will get done quickly.:-)
They replied to my request post but unfortunately it doesn’t seem like it’s practical right now. Basically because of inline hashtags and not wanting to try to separate those out. Which, yeah, I get that.
They mentioned the new version would let you filter by software type, so that will probably accomplish the same thing for me.
So if I added an option to hide / not render the detected hashtags, inline ones would be hidden too.
So what? If that’s what you want… then just do that? Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.:-)
Add this you you Ublock filter list (change feddit.uk to the domain of what you’re using obvs):
feddit.uk##a[href*="tags"][href^="https://"][href*="mastodon"]
What’s the problem, the hashtags?
That and tagging a bunch of communities to spray it out everywhere.
