Any Way to remove the "Random Posts" part of the sidebar?
Im getting lots of NSFW content in the last time. I didnt find anything to disable the media preview in the sidebar either so there is no way to use the site in a setting where someone might see my screen. Anyone got a tipp or ways to change that?
A list of communities on the sidebar would be much more useful than the random stuff/people.
@ernest this is a great suggestion
Btw, I'm on kbin.social on my phone so this isn't an issue for me, thankfully. When I go to the All feed I don't see any NSFW stuff, either (I don't recall blocking any NSFW magazines so not sure why).
You are not human so you don't feel the pain, anyway.
Fun fact: Janet is me.
Yes Please
Have the same problem. I already blocked /m/random but the sidebar still has random posts sometimes.
You can't trust people to tag all their NSFW properly, so there will inevitably appear NSFW on there, even if I turned it off in the settings.
ok thx. I blocked it throught ublock Origin now but that only works on firefox, not on mobile...
Here's a strange observation I made today. Browsing /m/random/microblog/newest, get a massive NSFW image from mastodon.world, no blur, no filter, nothing. But if I go to the original post on mastodon.world, all the content is blacked out and you need to click to show. So clearly the user flagged their NSFW stuff, but the flag itself didn't federate to kbin, just the image. That's got to be a bug right?
It has been requested from day one.
A random list already seems to me a crappy function that almost nobody will appreciate, but here it is worse because it includes what is explicitly blocked.
with stylus add this:
You can add or remove some of the selectors if you don't want all of them;
section.posts.sectionis the one for posts. But I want all 3 of these sections hidden.I use this script with Violentmonkey.
I used it some time ago but it broke. Not only this script but few other also.
There is really no need to use a script for this. You can use one css rule if you install Stylus. Here is the rule for hiding only the random posts section.
Yeah I probably can use it. It's just weird that it stopped working just like that and I'm to lazy to investigate.
The site is under continual development, so the html probably got edited. This css might break at some point too, but it's as uncomplicated as possible so it's less likely to break than an involved script.
I'm cool with it being there but it should at least be blurred until you go into the thread like other NSFW content.
Per your suggestion, I have added this to KES here. Example: image

It can hide this part of the sidebar as well as known NSFW domains.
Sadly this does no longer work for me. Few scripts seem to be broken for some reason. Is it the only script you use?
I use it together with kbin usability pack. What exactly does not work for you? It still hides the random posts for me but I toggled the NSFW option off, as I don't mind that type of content.
It simply does not hide random posts anymore. Weird. If I wasn't so lazy I would investigate it but I'm lazy so I don't know:)
Are you sure you didn't just accidentally uncheck the setting?
I'm sure. I disabled all other extensions but it's still broken. I just use ublock for now.
I found that blocking the NSFW domains removed a lot of what I did not want to see in the sidebar. But, that may not help if you want the option to browse those forums sometimes. It's not a guarantee that you'll never see anything of the sort show up there, as plenty of domains allow NSFW content, but by removing the ones focused on it you'll dilute the chances significantly.
