Why?
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?
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.
The short answer is anything I don’t like or want to see. The shorter answer is .ml.
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.
Nothing. I go through my feed raw and unfiltered .ml, hexbear, and everything
Rick and Morty com. No explanation needed.
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…
Anything with anime “Mo”, porn, or “furry” in it. I’m not hating on them, it’s just not for me.

I have to ask why sports? Surely there is some sport you are interested in.
I’ve recently discovered I’ve been lying to myself on baseball, and how much I loved the game as a kid and I regret not pursuing it after highschool all because of the mlb strikes in the 90s. I just stopped watching and participating. For me and a lot of people during that time I guess the mindset was, I work in the heat all day, not just for 3 hours and those players are bitching about the millions they make aren’t enough. There’s some truth to that but it completely blinded me to what I loved, now I’m to old to even compete in men’s slow pitch leagues
Since my daughter is now playing softball, just playing catch and working with her on pitching has made me truly realize how great the game is, the feel of the glove, the sound of the bat cracking, or the sound of a fastball hitting a glove.
For a game that’s been played as much for so long and there are still records being broken or first time for something is truly amazing.
My interest in football is at a all time low, no longer follow NFL, but still love college even though it’s becoming a shadow of its former self.
And volleyball is peaking because of my daughter as well
“Elon” “Musk” “Trump” “Donald”
Is your feed empty then?
Nah, should be plenty of star trek and Linux remaining
- 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.
I browse mostly by All/Everything, and it’s about an 70/20/10 split of non-English communities, sports communities, and anime communities respectively.
The non-English communities are typically on non-English local instances (feddit.org, feddit.nl, jlai.lu, etc), but I don’t want to block those instances entirely because their users will still participate in other communities in English and it’s not their fault that I just don’t speak the language.
The sports communities are just because I don’t typically care for that type of content. There are only a couple of sports I actively follow, and within those sports I don’t need to see communities dedicated to each and every specific team, so I just block to filter the ones I have no interest in.
As for the anime, I actually do love anime, but a lot of them are communities for specific series I’m not into (which, if I’m being frank, are almost all just utter shit-tier waifu bait material), and others are very creepy “X”-moe communities which just make me feel gross when they turn up (and for those, blocking a single user was enough to get rid of 99% of that).
Mostly murican politics, politics memes, trump/musk stuff (it’s like playing whac-a-mole), some anime and furry stuff.
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.
Almost all anime and a lot of the ai communities
