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?
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).
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?
You can add or remove some of the selectors if you don't want all of them; section.posts.section is the one for posts. But I want all 3 of these sections hidden.
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.
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.
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.
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.
