For daily prayers, yes that is a daily occurance. We pray 5 times a day but only the afternoon prayers are something we'd need to take a break for.

But you can work around it and you might only need to take a 5 minute break once a day. So like the post and you have mentioned it's not that much of an interruption.

However, Fridays are a different story. We have to go our sermon which might be an hour so. In the US Saturday+Sundays are off so that's not something that would interfere with a work/school schedule. Personally, in our high school we held our own prayers after school on Fridays. But I know for a fact that didn't work for all my Muslim peers.

Holidays are another issue, we'd need to take 2 days off a year to observe our holidays. I wouldn't go as far as so say this is systemic oppression. You just get an excused absence or use pto lol.

Where it would become a problem is if your requests to take off work/school were to be denied. But thankfully that isn't usually an issue in the US.

Besides, in some school districts non-Christian holidays are starting to become recognized and may already be off.

Overall there is a consistent minor friction causes by daily schedule differences. And especially in school a student may never even ask for accommodations for fear of being "different". Even though when you ask generally when you ask you will be accommodated.

I don't think lemmy supports blocking instances (only users and communities)

However boost can mute instances (as well as users and communities)

I'm not sure what the difference is. But I think it's that boost will not show thing from your feed based on the mute list

Whereas setting something as blocked will prevent the lemmy servers from ever serving that community in your feed.

 

My current use case is I have an adguard home DNS filter that is currently blocking some lemmy servers. (eg: lemmynsfw)

I understand that it'll cut out any direct resources from that lemmy server, but I suppose since it's federated lemmy.world is acting as a proxy and thus the posts are still visible?

More generally speaking, is it possible to block an entire lemmy server at a network level? (DNS filtering or otherwise)
