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.
You must log in or # to comment.
None so far. At this point you might as well use the “Subscribed” tab. Whitelist instead of blacklisting communities.
I use subscribed most of the time, but enjoy local and all to see what else is out there. Just added [email protected] today after finding it in all
I hope to get to that point soonish, but without a starting set of mostly interesting and inoffensive subs, building a collection of subscribed thingies is slow going. In the meantime, I’m scrolling all and blocking all the communities that seem mostly like a place to be angry.
you cannot whitelist anything if you don’t go to /all
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.
Not speaking for OP, but I do it because if you block communities they don’t show up when you browse by “all”. That’s my preferred way to find new stuff (even if it’s meme heavy). I like that it’s as easy to hide communities I’m not interested in as it is to subscribe to new communities. It’s a great feature.
Yep, this is why. I browsr All often to find new stuff and don’t want to wade through all the other stuff.
Because new communities are still coming up and it may be relevant to us
On my single user instance All and Subscribed are the same so none.
I block some users who insulted me and weren’t interrmested in discussiond. And I block threads.com
Hmm, all and subscribed shouldn’t be the same.
It’s possible if you’re the only user on the instance and you subscribe to everything you search.
I’m on the largest lemmy instance there is, definitely not the only user.
And I don’t mean to knock the stuff I block, it’s just not for me. If you like furry hentai, do your thing dude.
It has to be on a single user instance.
Zero.
I only view by subscribed. Who’s out there trolling /all like a maniac?
That’s literally all I do
It’s a way to discover new places.
That’s how I use it. Found [email protected] today through it
[email protected] is good though small for now.
Thanks! Subscribed!
Thats my current method of finding subs to subscribe 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.
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 don’t mind the porn either, but not on my main accounts on lemmy.ca and lemmy.world
Exactly. Well put.
The connect app has the ability to block instances, which I find very helpful.
It’s a fantastic feature, but the app just does not work well for me
There’s a whole yiff instance with various yiff communities. I think I may have finally gotten them all.
Until someone makes another yiff community on the instance lol
Why must I struggle so just not see humanoid animals fucking?
I never saw this problem coming as a child.
I would like to see a more finely grained nsfw filter. It could have categories like
- nudity
- hardcore porn
- gore
- violence
Uhh that’s all I can think of right now. Sometimes I like porn but I pretty much never want to see gore.
- animation nsfw
- ai-generated nsfw
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.
This is the shit I block over and over, not hating on anyone, but good god already, man, look at a photo!
Just memes and 196
Thankfully I never see that crap, but will block on sight.
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.
I blocked 196 as well.
What even is that place? I can’t figure it out. lol
Rule
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.
You can choose to filter by language in the Lemmy ui directly. I selected English and Unspecified and it eliminated all the German, dutch and Philippine subs.
I have English and undefined selected, but still get some non English stuff.
None, I just block some bots I don’t find useful and that’s mostly it.
Only a handful, I tend to only block communities that I’m completely disinterested in, find offensive, or are in languages I don’t speak.
A lot. The way I curate my feed is I subscribe to communities that I’m actively and significantly interested in and block all of them that I don’t see myself ever wanting to check out. The rest are places that I might want to see, but maybe not all the time. This way I can filter by Subscribed to see a very focused feed and by All if I want some more randomness, but still without topics I’m really disinterested in.
That’s very close to the way I do it.
None, so far.
I have blocked exactly 10 magazines, all non-English.
Let’s see…
One instance, one magazine (which was later deleted) and 17 users. I block bigots, people posting explicit things without tags, hostile people, and folk with genitals as their profile pic… mostly.
How do you check?
It should be in your profile
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.
How are y’all seeing all this porn and furry stuff?
I don’t see any of it on my /all/ feed. There’s like, some girls and boobs and stuff occasionally, but it’s rare.
I wonder if it’s instance specific. I can see the porn communities but no posts show up in them for me on my lemmy.one account.
I know initially porn was blocked lemmy-wide and has only recently started rolling out.
