    • Pet an animal friend, or a friend’s animal, or a friend. Probably ask the friend first, or maybe don’t.
    • Don’t be afraid to hug your mom/kid/cousin/friend.
    • If animals and friends elude you, find a stuffed animal/monster/alien/person that will let you cuddle if for no other reason than because it has no choice.
    • Watch cartoons or sitcoms or romcoms, and deliver some good feels into your brain.
    • Look for eyebleach (not literally bleaching your eyes!), and try to put the terrible thing behind you.

    Good luck!

  • The options I’m aware of are A) that spot to block/filter instances in Sync (which you’ve already done), or B) going to the web interface with a browser, going to your settings page there, and there’s the tab for Blocks. That page has ways to block a person, community, or (at the very bottom of that) instance.

    I can’t help you with getting the filter to stick, but at least there’s another way (which should end up being client agnostic)


  • I think that - if you want to read current Marvel story arcs, but not buy every tie-in story (from characters you don’t really like or care about, for example) - digital comics are how you’ll want to go.

    There are lots of ways to get free digital comics, and as the other reply said, use a search engine or wiki to find the reading order and all the tie-ins. That’s just the way Marvel does things, and I’m pretty sure DC does it the same way - that’s how the story stays cohesive, and how more sales are made. Your friend is absolutely right.

    If you’re going to a local comic book store, try asking the employees - not everyone cares, or pays attention, but sometimes you’ll find a passionate employee (or owner) who can help you find the tpbs involved in the storylines.


  • I don’t think it’s a Sync only thing. I get that you can see them in the browser, but since I started using Lemmy last year I have noticed the occasional number of comments not matching the visible comments - not just in Sync, tho. It’s happened to me while using the pwa and with other apps.

    If you want to switch clients, go ahead and try them out - there are a lot of choices these days. I think LW has a variety of frontend options, too. Maybe one of those will be a good fit?
    (I dunno, I really like Sync, but I’ve also installed and used just about every Android Lemmy app, and just end up coming back to Sync each time. Don’t get me wrong - there are some that are really good, but Sync is still my top pick.)
