Tips & Tricks

A few notable, useful worth-sharing tips & tricks for Iceshrimp users. You may also suggest any to be added here.


Remove all inaccessible followers-only replies

Iceshrimp.NET, by default, will show all replies, including those that are replies to posts that are inaccessible to you, even if you aren't using the default frontend. For most users, this is unwanted behavior.

To disable it, first:

  • Enter your account settings
  • Click the "Account" tab on the left
  • Find and enable "Filter replies to inaccessible notes"

This should disable them on the official frontend. However, if you use a custom/alternative client, they may still show up via "RE: 🔒" posts. To disable these, we simply put a custom word filter:

  • Enter your account settings
  • Click the "Filters" tab on the left
  • Create a new filter.
    • The Filter Name is required, but can be whatever. Name it something like "Disable inaccessible replies".
    • For the keywords, simply type in "RE: 🔒" (without the quotation marks) then press the "Add" button below it.
    • Set the Filter Action to "Hide".
    • Add everything from the "Filter Contexts" list.
    • Set the expiry date to whatever in the future, like 09/09/9999 for example.

After that, all inaccessible replies shall now vanish.

Emoji reactions in Phanpy

The Phanpy frontend has some support for emoji reactions. Specifically though, only showing them in notifications.

To enable support for at least showing them rather than displaying a broken notification for each reaction, simply log into Phanpy again with the "This app is intended for Pleroma or Akkoma" flag enabled.
