I’m up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don’t see the point of. I’ve got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

    Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with “Fuck xyz” because those communities are always toxic as hell.

      My own philosophy is that if a community can only be described with negative values it will ultimately be a shitty community.

      Anything that starts with anti- or fuck noun even if I agree with them is a instant block for me.

        Dude I agree so much. Because I’ve fallen for the trap of thinking “oh yeah, I support being against that too, fuck it!”

        But then slowly realize that even if I support being anti whatever, the community itself is just filled with negativity and hate. Justifiable or not, it’s always an emotional drag, so yeah, best to just cut it out of my life, I don’t need it.

    I haven’t blocked anything yet. I just signed up and I’m having trouble finding anything. My timeline is just the same few things repeating. How are you all seeing stuff you haven’t subbed to?

    79 so far. If we could just block instances it would be so much better. OR if we had a distinction between NSFW porn and NSFW non porn. I just don’t want porn in all, but I want to be able to discover new communities. And I don’t want to block all NSFW because I enjoy some content that is marked as NSFW…I just don’t want porn.

      I’m ok with the porn, I just want to avoid the furry shit. Titties? Sure. An anime fox fucking another anime fox? No thanks.

      Yep, I got the same issue with blocking communities. It would be so much simpler to simply block pornlemmy and lemmynsfw than to block the myriad of communities that pop up

        I don’t mind some of the porn. I can just scroll by it when I’m not interested in it.

        I’m sure a user based block instance will show up in Lemmy at some point.

    I have managed to block fuckcars 6 six times. Which is funny because every time I block it a new one pops up

    I just blocked Politics.

    I felt that politics posts and discussions on reddit led to a separation of communities and echo chamber when platforms like that an Lemmy would ideally, be politics free.

    It leads to a more friendly positive and inclusive place to be.

    I think it would be impossible to keep politics off Lemmy so best I can do for now is filter it out.

      I had problems in the past where Connect would not populate random certain communities in my subscriptions, making it unusable as an app.

      But I just redownloaded it and it appears to work now so I may play with this a bit more!

      Edit: Wait nope. Now it seems to randomly glitch out often and delete ALL of my subscriptions. Maybe even worse than before…

    I don’t understand why you need to block anyone? I subscribed to what I like and that’s all I have in my feed how are you getting these other communities?

      I browse the local and all feeds to find new stuff. Local shows everything on the instance I am in, and All shows the local feed, plus communities on other instances that other people on Lemmy.World follow.

      I swear the people posting to memes are all 12 years old. There’s only so many “when the teacher sees you playing on your DS” ‘memes’ I can take.

          My understanding is that the only “rule” is that if you visit the page, you have to post something. It doesn’t matter what. So the premise is that people are posting something random on their phone, and referring to the only rule in the post title, as if it’s an obligation. “Per the rules, I am posting…” etc.

          I think. I don’t know. I’m in my 30s, so apparently I don’t understand the internet anymore.

    A lot, mostly porn.

    I’m not morally opposed to porn–but like 99.9% is aimed at straight men, or is the Disney-style furry art, and it does NOTHING for me. It’s like being drowned in, I dunno…football communities. It’s boring as shit and I Just. Don’t. Care.

      Exactly. I have absolute nothing against porn…I just am not interested and don’t want it flooding and dominating my feed.

    What? Why are you blocking communities so much? Just go through the list of communities and subscribe to what appeals you you then just browse subscriptions.
