Looks like now Mbin, at least on mobile, mixes threads and microblog posts
(media.thebrainbin.org)
Must've been a recent change because somewhat frequently I'm using it on the go and just now it started appearing for me.
Also banners appear on the top of communities now too. =D
Is there a way to disable this? I've never cared for microblogs.
https://fedia.io/threads should do it.
But then you don't see other content like photos and videos.
No this "threads" is just referring to everything that is not a microblog.
Photos appear fine though? And I rarely see threads with videos attached so don't think those would appear on a quick check anyways.
I honestly didn't expect that there needed to be a setting for this... But I mainly/only use the "sub" feed, and if you don't want microblogs there, just don't follow people posting them 😅
I exclusively browse all, blocking magazines/communities that I really don't want to see.
Yeah, that's what I expected. I just don't so I didn't consider it...
In my case I do also use "sub" feed. But I still want to see only threads by default. I do use microblogs as well, but if I want to see posts, I click on the Microblog menu.
I don't see anything on either https://thebrainbin.org/#settings or https://thebrainbin.org/settings/general, and on desktop it isn't loading combined for me so I can't test Ublock Origin filters either.
On a magazine it appeared, so using it as basis:
Threads appear as
articlesin the page's source code. Microblog posts appear asblockquote.So you should be able to hide them, at least with Ublock Origin, with
domain_from_the_instance##blockquote, e.g. for mine,thebrainbin.org##blockquote.Like this in the respective tab of the dashboard (the menu the 3 gears icon from UbO open):
Do you like the setting to be opt-out so "all" will be the default (like now). Or should we make this combined frontpage an opt-in feature (default will stay "threads" like before)?
