I dunno if they’d take too kindly to me saying “hey, I made a personal finance community on an instance without offputting political views, y’all should all abondon this one”…

There, check out that bottom link in the description. When I click on it from my lemmy account, it tries to take me to a lemmy community (which doesn’t exist).

Nah, I was looking at it from my lemmy alt. Same deal. Here, I’ll edit it again so you can see.

For some reason, whenever I type that on fedia, it removes the “@fedia.io” part

Maybe it’s just in the post body?

!personalfinance_us@fedia.io

I’ve been asking for a personal finance community for a while. The only US-based one I’ve found is on .ml, which…ew. I haven’t made one because I do not have the time to mod a big, popular sub like that one will hopefully become.

Buuuuut I got tired of waiting for someone else to do it so I made it: https://lemmy.world/c/personalfinance_us@fedia.io

I’m sure it will be a shitshow but at least I tried.

Haha, I got it! It’s not anywhere in the settings at all, lol. Like a hidden option. You have to go to the url “https://fedia.io/d/[instance domain name]”, like “https://fedia.io/d/lemmy.ml”. Then it will give you the ability to block, and that block will be reflected in your settings page.

So I actually forgot that I also made a fedia.io account back when I was trying multiple instances…there were literally like 100 people on fedia.io at the time so I stuck with kbin, but then kbin kinda imploded so I switched to lemmy…

We have the same issue at fedia as lemmy.cafe - single overworked administrator.

I do see comments that say it’s possible to block instances on mbin, but I don’t see any way to do that on fedia.
