Seriously though.

    This is the answer. It comes with the territory when you have a demographic that is nerdy and terminally online.

    This demo has more pros than cons, but I do find myself using the “block community” option liberally.

      It seems like there needs to be additional community tags based on subject matter so you can block that tag rather than having to individually block a million communities or having to block an entire instance which you may not want to do.

        Couldn’t you also switch your feed to “subscribed”

        Topic based tags could work, but there’s no way to enforce that community’s will tag things about themselves

          You could just use subscribed but as Lemmy is fairly small, if you want new content with anything approaching regularity, searching by all or local is all but essential.

          Everyone’s opinions differ for sure but even in fairly popular communities there aren’t that many posts a day, especially when compared to larger, other, less API friendly sites…

          Yeah lol. Just view your subbed feed if you don’t want random shit in your feed. I mean we all used Reddit, right?

        Lemmy Connect allows you to filter communities and posts on regex, e.g. I filter (hide) communities containing any of the following:

        /politics/, /news/, /memes/, /humor/, /hentai/, /liberal/, /communis/, /conservativ/, /socialis/, /reddit/, /cursed/, /monero/

          I use Connect also. How do I go about this? It doesn’t seem to work in the block settings.

          Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. It was just further down in the settings. Thanks for this info as well, it was really useful. I would have missed this for a long time if you hadn’t pointed it out.

        I can’t imagine that would be very successful consider people already forget to tag NSFW content.

        If I recall correctly some furry instances have been defederated by other instances because one or two communities had a problem with that.

        Standardization amongst tags could also be a headache where I don’t see a consensus being reached on a federated platform like Lemmy.

        Hear hear!

        My wife saw me trying to block some big booby anime stuff and assumed I was browsing the community. I’m in my mid 40s guys, it’s not ok.

        Also why do they always look ashamed of their boobs? They’re huge! You’d think they’d be proud.
