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.

[โ€“] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] shimian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Iโ€™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'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.

[โ€“] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this the troll in sh.itjust.works? Thankfully all their stuff has been taken down before I've seen it

[โ€“] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Why would ANYONE do that? I literally don't wanna see that shit.

[โ€“] ALERT@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

200+ and growing 10 each day. I had few thousands on reddit. sports, non-English, anime, memes, bikini bottom bullshit, mindly circle jerk infuriating balooney. and I got nsfw off. if I turn it on, I just won't be able to calmly read the interesting stuff, I will be forces to tap the bans all day. please stop moving reddit here. kthnx.

[โ€“] AergisGeist@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

All the meme communities i can find. I dont need to see the same unfunny trash from reddit

[โ€“] paskalivichi@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thankfully I never see that crap, but will block on sight.

[โ€“] Widowmaker_Best_Girl@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[โ€“] Dazza@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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'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.

[โ€“] DharmaCurious@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[โ€“] thann@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Change the sort from active to topSomething

[โ€“] ikidd@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I might have to block Lemmy.ml because these fuxking tankies are getting on my last nerve.

That's not a community mate? I mean they are, but it's an instance. btw you should check out hexbear to really lose your nerve.
