This is a good idea, I’ll look into adding this. Unfortunately this is not supported by the API, but it should be simple enough to maintain a list of blocked posts in Arctic.

[edit] I see this is actually a native feature on Lemmy v0.19.4. I’ll add support for this in the next release. I just integrated this feature in Swimmy, (Arctic’s Lemmy API wrapper), I just need to update the UI to support this.

It’s definitely a useful feature. I’m still hoping that this is eventually added to Lemmy natively, as it would be more efficient, and accessible for more users. It makes for a good alternative to following topics such as on mastodon.

It sounds like I should probably find a way to make this feature more apparent though. As it is right now, the UI doesn’t really express that this feature is available unless you’ve already created a community group.

No problem! I had hoped to have API support updated before Lemmy 0.19.4 started deploying, but I missed the mark. I’ll push another update soon with support for the rest of the additions in 0.19.4, this seems to have been the only breaking change in this release.

This should be resolved now, I just updated to v0.4.1.11 on TestFlight, and submitted a new release to the AppStore review as well.

Please let me know if you are still having issues after updating, or if you encounter any other API issues with the latest Lemmy release.

Thanks for the heads up, this is due to API changes in Lemmy v0.19.4. I just fixed this and I’ll be rolling out an update today.

Thanks for letting me now about this! I fixed the issue today, and I’ll be releasing an update either tonight or tomorrow.
