Not the kind of thing I think of as worthy of a confession. I’ve blocked over 900 communities and have finally made All into something that’s actually pleasant to browse.
The vast majority of which were sorts, porn, and anime. No hate on any of them, just not my cup of tea
Yeah no regrets. I didn’t have much luck seeking new communities to subscribe to - activity across the fediverse is still too low for handful of subscribes to provide a noteworthy stream of new content.
Chipping away at All felt like a Sisyphean task at first, but a few bites with each session and now it’s just the occasional maintenance block when a new community pops up that I’m not interested in. It’d be nice if there was some kind of tag system where I could just block all “sports” content in one fell swoop - it’d literally make a months long project take like 10 mins instead.
I have a hard time recommending Lemmy to folks in my IRL circle cuz I know their initial choices here are going to be either to mop up an absolute fuckton of furry porn; or stare at cobwebs accumulating in a ‘subscribed’ tab.
Yea it would be nice to have a word blocking feature hopefully we get that soon. I know boost app does it. But im the same I just have maintenance blocks in my all feed now

That’s what I’ve done too. My all feed isn’t so bad anymore
