I’m receiving unwanted and unsolicited DMs on my account, but I don’t want to use DM.

Currently, there appears to be no possibility to disable DMs however, which IMO should be an option that needs to be developed with priority. But I’m not a developer and it’s obviously easy to ask for prioritized options to be developed if you don’t have to develop them yourself. And of course, I haven’t got a clue what else has priority.

That said: where can I submit a feature request for the Lemmy developers?

And does anybody happen to know if it’s possible to block DMs on Kbin?

    You cannot block a user that already send you a message.

    You also cannot delete a DM unless the administrator helps you. If you receive abusive material you’re more or less stuck with it.

    I don’t want DMs, but I must accept them now.

      Do you mean that blocking them doesn’t remove the DMs but does prevent future DMs? Or you literally actually cannot block someone once they’ve DM’ed you, and so standard practice for someone who wants to harass people should be to DM them first?

        No, what I mean is that any user can randomly start sending DMs to another user and I don’t want any DMs.

        Blocking is an action when the DM was already received.

      Can you view only unread messages in your interface? That’s a feature in most places I’ve seen so far, but I haven’t tested Voyager.
