Is there anything I can do about duplicates? I use Sync for Lemmy on Android.

      How do u do this on sync? There is several annoying bots i want to block but clicking the name of the bot doesn’t do anything.

        If you can’t find the option to block in your preferred app, you can always go to your instance in a browser and block the user in your settings.

        3 dot menu on the post, then click on the user in the menu. That will take you to their profile so you can block them. Also, I believe clicking on the user/community name is a toggleable option in sync.

          You mean Sync doesn’t let you block users from the post itself? The default mobile UI does that. It’s there on comments too.

          Also, I believe clicking on the user/community name is a toggleable option in sync.

          Why on earth isn’t that the default?

            On the post click the 3 dots and next to users name there are another 3 dots that will take you the user options, where you can block the user.

            Because it’s a reddit app retrofitted to work for lemmy, and because some people want to click anywhere on a post and be brought to it instead of a user’s profile or the community it was posted in.

        The bot doesn’t have a profile? If it does, you have to go there then scroll to the right:

        On a post in the feed, hit the three dot button and filter out that user/community or instance. If you want to block rather than just filter, go to the bot user profile and hit block in the top bar.

      Block that bot user?

      That’s a stupid question. ;)

          His character on Deep Space 9 infiltrates the space station by impersonating an admiral. He does this by saying the following phrase anytime someone asks him a question: “That’s a stupid question”. Because he’s wearing an admiral uniform he gets away with his rudeness and the subordinates just let him infiltrate the station.

            LOL, DS9 laying the truth before it was even a meme. Throw on a high-vis vest and carry a ladder, walk into almost any venue.

            Oh lol thanks for clearing that up. For some reason I was looking at the username in the picture trying to figure out how it dealt with the Wheel Of Time character lmao.

            Completely glossed over the commenters DS9 username. Patrick and the rest of them made that episode so funny.

                I was talking about the person in the picture you posted. I didn’t even notice your name lol. I wish I did because Teft is one of the best from stormlight!

                    Oh lmao I see 😂 I’m replying from my inbox and somehow didn’t see it was removed. Funny that we can still have a conversation through an already deleted thread by doing this lol.

        Not remembering a joke from an episode that aired 25 years ago doesn’t really rank high on most people’s shame-o-meters, my dude
