I think mute means you won’t be suggested content from this person/community/instance in your various feeds they won’t know you muted them. block does the same, but also prevents that person from interacting with you (can’t send you messages or notifications). I’m not sure what blocking a community would do though.

HAHAHAHAHA WHAT

I am here for the FOSS decentralized platform, but this kind of “if you don’t use linux on you desktop and an ungoogled android phone then you just don’t care” attitude is what makes some people see FOSS and decentralized platforms as a niche thing for geeks who care too much, and not a thing for then too

if someone hits me with that gnu+linux im removing any lemmy related apps from my ungoogled android phone

I use a root based adblocker on my phone, and I didn’t get this popup at all. I enjoyed the original Boost for Reddit app enough to have paid the whole 3€ for it a while ago, and today, the familiar design, UI, and extensive features feel more comfortable to me than other apps, though I don’t spend that much time on lemmy either
