Love OpenWRT!

As a networking noob I spent more than a week configuring it to get it right, including needing to SSH into it because I flashed the wrong firmware (do not get NA and EU confused, the difference is enough to flat line your modem).

But in the end, I eliminated my bufferbloat with SQM; a feature the stock device lacked. I also set up a USB to act as expanded storage to install more software.

Exactly. If I want to see Australian porn, I’m not going to the aussie.zone instance.

Damn, it must be the Mandela Effect. My previous world-line had instance blocking.

Exactly.

I would like to see these categories in a cascaded list. For example, if there was a list for location-based communities, I could block “cities” and “countries” but leave and “continents” active.

This way I can still see news about “Europe”, but not the communities of languages I don’t speak.

I like that idea, but at the moment, Lemmy needs engagement with up-and-coming communities, so I want to boost content I think is good, not just from communities I’m explicitly interested in.

Also it’s a good way to find new communities.

I appreciate this lol. Thank you for making my wildest dreams come true. Good luck!
