RetroFed

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

How do I block a community in piefed (just in my web browser and not any app or anything)

I assume I'm blind, but I moved over from mbin where I could just go to a magazine (community) and click a block button. My browsing strategy is to browse all and not use subscriptions to mostly not limit what I see. However, I don't want to see certain types of porn (for instance).

Thanks!

Don't know what the official way is supposed to be. But the posts come with an option. If I click the hamburger menu with the three dots underneath your text, I get an option to report it, block you, and I also get an option to block this community.

Ah, exactly where I never would have looked for it, heh. Thanks!

The hamburger menu at bottom post is the way. You can also filter by keywords :

As well as this, it's possible to go to Settings (the cog in the menu) -> Blocks and Filters -> Communities -> Add block

Topic Feeds are another great way to browse, helping you sort out e.g. poetry from news.
