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.
I'm sorry I don't know the answer, but I would like to point out that there are also some English speaking communities on feddit.de (e.g. boardgames). I guess a better filter would be language based, although I don't know if the communities/magazines even have meta data with their language(s).
I was going to ask about this, because I can see most of the german or french posts that hit the frontpage have the de or fr tag but there is no way to filter these on kbin at the moment?
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();
})();
