Why?
All the non-English ones. If I can’t read it then there’s no point to having it clutteting things up.
Also all the porn. That’s not what I’m here for.
So much furry content, holy smokes.
Anything Linux. We get it. You like Linux. If I wanted to be converted by religious nuts I’d still be talking to a whole side of my family.
I’d like to talk to you about climate change. Do you happen to have a minute?
Blocked furry and most trans stuff. A ton of the porn that littered my feed. That’s probably 75% of my blocklist. Many non-english communities, though I’ve kept a few to run through translators just to see what’s going on in other countries. Communities with high post counts of memes that spam my feed. Any /c with no interest in good faith discussion.
All the anime, furries, sports, non-English, news, and politics.
The short answer is anything I don’t like or want to see. The shorter answer is .ml.
Blocked most furry and trans communities. I’m not against it, not into it and its overrepresented here for obvious reasons.
whoo boy time to block infosec.pub…
Rick and Morty com. No explanation needed.
“Elon” “Musk” “Trump” “Donald”
I did the same! Much more enjoyable experience
Is your feed empty then?
Nah, should be plenty of star trek and Linux remaining
Anything with anime “Mo”, porn, or “furry” in it. I’m not hating on them, it’s just not for me.
The whole lemmynsfw instance. Don’t need that distraction here.
Text filters - any keywords for news topics that I’ve had enough of (mostly reoccurring political topics)
Weird meme shit from some strange community (or something that is just not my generation) - block the whole community.
A poster who’s engaging in bad faith - blocked, never to be heard from again.
I also set my mobile client (Connect) to mark posts that I’ve scrolled by as read, and to only show unread posts.
I filter by All / Top 6 hours
My experience on Lemmy is getting better and better, and I feel no need to doom scroll here.
The German ones who have the language set to English but only post in German. And the reason should be pretty obvious: They’re assholes who are intentionally clogging up the feed of another language.
They mostly don’t have the language set at all, like 99% of all posts and the reason is nobody cares.
Same. I block every instance and topic thats not in english. I cant read it and am not about to learn danish or german or whatever it is, so its an utter waste of my and lemmys time and bandwidth to show it to me. It should really be a standard feature.
I actually really enjoy translating the whole comments pages sometimes if I get the meme through context clues, can’t tell if things get lost in translation or German humor is just really odd though…
- A spider community because I ain’t about that life as an arachnophobic person.
- A bunch of minecraft communities because I completely ditched the game after they decided that Java players aren’t allowed to use adult words anymore on their private single player worlds and also because of the whole chat thing where all messages you send are linked to your specific account.
- Entomology because I don’t fuck with bugs.
- A few different AI communities because I try to avoid AI if possible.
- A community about dicks and dick pics. Not my cup of tea and I don’t feel like seeing them on any feed since I don’t blur NSFW images.
Those are just a few. The rest are minor things or other communities that are the same thing essentially, but on different instances.
Almost all anime and a lot of the ai communities
Nothing. I go through my feed raw and unfiltered .ml, hexbear, and everything
When I got started on Lemmy, browsing All, I was stunned by all the Furry/Brony crap. Blocking that made All more feasible… but man, it was a lot!
