Laughs in "I made an account on the NSFW instance"

Those are certainly rookie numbers.

Those are rookie numbers.

You should just delete your Lemmy app and exclusively watch Disney movies and play with your legos

Stop trying to tempt me into a healthy lifestyle

boatsnhos931 ,

Just keep an eye on your marshmallow intake, we don't want you getting the diabetes

milicent_bystandr ,

Marshmallows are my comfort food to distract me from falling back into my Lemmy addiction.

boatsnhos931 ,

Just don't start melting em down like those mellowhead junkies down on 3rd. I care about you too much homie

milicent_bystandr ,

Thanks, that means a lot to me.

SuperSpruce ,

Most downvoted post on Lemmy?

milicent_bystandr ,

Lol. Is everyone like, "noo, my community isn't boring, you're boring! :'("

pop ,

I mean that's the point of self-curated feed. Do you want an algorithm or a team of strangers to find and curate what you should consume?

or maybe facebook, instagram, twitter is more up your ally.

This. I occasionally look at all to look for new stuff though

pewgar_seemsimandroid ,

same

jaxxed ,

A couple on there that I missed ... on my include list that is. Thanks.

Some of those have one post a week on a good week, so yer obviously trolling.

Thorny_Insight ,

My community block list is about 450 items long and the one for users is even longer.

slazer2au ,

Those sure are some rookie block numbers.

Saltarello ,

Came here since the Reddit 3rd party app fiasco. Initially I blocked a load of non English language communities which at the time seemed to fill the All feed. Kept adding to my subscribed communities list then in my app (Voyager after Liftoff stopped being developed) blocked a load of keywords, essentially Trump/US politics related.

Now my Home (subscriptions) feed has some great content. I check out All from time to time to see if I can subscribe to more communities.

Niche communities are still lacking but hopefully that improves over time.

Have you got your language set on your account? (Open settings on browser not app) It should auto filter based on that. I see very little non English stuff. (Small instance though)

I don't really get why you need to block communities. I block users but that is because they comment and post about communism on every single community. Luckily there are only a handful of users who do this.

I do wish Lemmy was a little more politically neutral. I just try to ignore the political stuff. I also choose a instance that isn't focused on politics.

realitista ,

There are also the communities like worldnews@lemmy.ml that seem okay at first but then you realize the mods are tankies.

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

As a rule of thumb avoid Lemmy[.]ml

realitista ,

Generally a good idea but they still have many of the biggest communities.

Thorny_Insight ,

I do it so that I can browse c/all too

Cyyy ,

why? because you don't want to see certain things in your feed. people come hwre for various things. some people come here to mentally relax, so they don't want to hear about negative topics like wars or people Fighting all the time. other people just are not interested in certain topics or posts but have them flood their feed.

example: i come here for relaxing mentally and to see posts about topics I'm interested in. so I don't want to see negative stuff like causalities in wars, hearing people complain what bad things they experienced this day, what stuff has gone wrong in their life and other negative stuff. another example is lemmynsfw where I don't want to see males showing their genitals to me since I'm interested in women, not guys. so i block communitys who are about such things.

short: because people don't want ro see certain stuff. that's why there is a block function. lemmy without a block function wouldn't be useable since you get flooded with tons of posts you aren't interested in by default without any blocks.

I personally just don't subscribe to communities overrun by communists. I am not saying the ability to block communities is bad, I just don't use it myself

cooopsspace ,

I think Xitter / "Truth" Social is probably more your scene.

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah, no. Just because one isn't far left doesn't mean they are far right. There is a middle ground you know.

Not to mention truth social is kind of toxic

cooopsspace ,

OP is also blocking centrist or unaligned pages

possiblylinux127 , (edited )
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

It is all very much subjective

cooopsspace ,

I think you mean subjective, you're also objectively wrong.

@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

I got you OP - my blocklist is now 100s of communities. But I much rather browse all and discover new things, rather than sub to a couple specific communities and never discover anything new.

I wouldn’t call it mildly infuriating though. Its just how I choose to browse

zorro ,

Same. I tend to block all the local communities. Like tbh I don't really care what's happening in like Boston

Conyak ,

Me too! I like to browse all to see new communities. The difference is that I don’t find it annoying. When I come across a new community I block it. At this point it’s only once a week or so that I find one.

You could whitelist communities rather than trying to blacklist them.

The larger the Threadiverse grows, the more communities that you might not like that will be out there.

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I'm surprised this community isn't among them... Actually, no. I guess it makes sense if you dislike everything to the point where you're always at least mildly annoyed.

Good sir I take offense at this suggestion. Pistols at dawn?
