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.

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.

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
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
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.
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
Zero.
I only view by subscribed. Who’s out there trolling /all like a maniac?
Removed by mod
That’s how I use it. Found !sciencefiction@lemmy.world today through it
Thanks! Subscribed!
!dune@lemmy.world is good though small for now.
Thats my current method of finding subs to subscribe to
That’s literally all I do
💀
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…
Kbin allows you to do this, too
I want some stuff from lemmynsfw, just not furry or hentai. There is a yiff instance I wouldn’t mind blocking, but Liftoff doesn’t have instance blocking yet and that’s the app I prefer.
I’m already blocking one user after roughly one month here.
He was in so many comment sections posting the same gif of a woman shitting.
Allowing users to post gifs was a mistake.
Is this the troll in sh.itjust.works? Thankfully all their stuff has been taken down before I’ve seen it
I don’t remember the user . They’d just show up and respond to a top comment with that gif.
So glad you can block individual accounts.
Why would ANYONE do that? I literally don’t wanna see that shit.
All the meme communities i can find. I dont need to see the same unfunny trash from reddit
Same here, no need for that unfunny trash
It was ok when there’s only a few memes but it got old when it’s every other post on “new”.
I’d really like a feature to block communities by name match. Something like block all with a name that contains “meme” would be ideal.
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.
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?
Change your settings not to show read posts will probably help, too!
I’ll look around in settings and try to find that, thank you!
You can use the “All” section of the instance you are using. You can also search for more communities from other instances using the Lemmy Community Browser.
I’m using Jerboa. Any idea how to do that on there?
Go to your app settings and you can set the default sort method. I have mine set to Subscribed - New Comments. You’ll probably need to close and reopen the app to see the change.
Change the sort from active to topSomething
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’ve been here for 15 minutes as a refugee from reddit. i immedialtely got the “fuck cars” (community?) in my feed. i did not like their dislike of cars.
Are you sure they weren’t lovers of cars/cussy?
deleted by creator
I have managed to block fuckcars 6 six times. Which is funny because every time I block it a new one pops up
We’ll get to you eventually, there’s no running away!
There’s plenty of running, but my car is faster.
Just memes and 196
I blocked 196 as well.
What even is that place? I can’t figure it out. lol
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.
Rule
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.
Thankfully I never see that crap, but will block on sight.
Zero blocks of any sort currently. I mainly use my subscribed feed, and while I do check all periodically, I have pretty tough eyeballs.
102 so far. It’s mostly porn and the creepy hentai and furry stuff, some of the foreign language communities that get through the filters, and things like different sports, that I’m never going to be interested in.
As other people have said, I want to be able to browse through All to discover new content, but there’s no point in seeing things that I’m never going to like.
That’s my exact use case as well.
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
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 !sciencefiction@lemmy.world 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
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.
Ya, I tested the waters there and it’s filled with some truly rabid individuals. That was an easy block decision.
I’m tempted.
I’d say go for it. Political discussion on Lemmy is just inflammatory hot garbage, your sanity will thank you for staying away.
I don’t mind it in general, but partisan politics reeks of the bot-infested/bad-faith experience we used to get at the old place.
