I would also like lemmy to be more smart about detecting languages, because individuals don't set the language and I'm constantly blocking communities from Austria or whatever simply because I can't read them, not because I hate Austria, it's delightful there
Oh my fucking God yes. Every individual pro (nfl?) football team has a sub Every individual pro fifa (whatever) soccer team has a sub Every individual ice hockey team has a sub Polo. Formula 1. COLLEGE football teams! College football divisions! And whos going to the super bowl. Basketball. A sub for who's going to make it to the final 5. Volleyball. Whatever big volleyball bullshit is. And then relevant WOMENS versions for all of these (no extra hate, just extra numbers) Baseball! Baseball teams history!
Then there's leagues! Big10. The other big conference! Every coalition for Soccer. Conferences for Basketball. Divisions for hockey. Like holy shit! There's more categories for sports than nsfw!
EDIT: I need to add that I did the math in another comment: there are (For a US citizen) 32 NFL teams and 113 College football teams. 32 Fifa Soccer teams. 29 US Mens soccer clubs (plus 3 Canadian). 12 More Women’s Soccer teams -only one league. 10 Formula 1drivers/teams. 8 womens volleyball teams. 30 mens baseball teams (29US 1 Canada). 32 teams in the NHL. and lastly, 30 NBA teams. In total this is 331 “Teams” and is the bare minimum before consulting each city will post about a game, individual players with followings, and broad subs like "MLB" is different from "Orioles" and results in more subs needed to block
For a while, random posts would just transform into baseball live post, with the comments for unrelated posts below. The post was on the METS win, and the comments were talking about how this would help liberate Bakhmut. It's fixed now, sadly.
People have different tastes. The best way is to add a tag system (probably tags that are applied to entire communities)
I just block the community
Sports, Religion and War, the 3 most wasteful activities humans have invented.
What sports content? There isn't any. I'd rather be able to hide tech
You are not alone.
Not gonna lie, I love sports and don’t see any on my feed. In fact I’m subbed to a lot and even my subscribed tab is very sparse.
Most of the sports-related communities seem to origin from the Fanaticus instance. Now if I could hide all posts from an instance right from Lemmy (without hiding comments from their users on posts outside of their instance) that would mostly solve the problem.
The idea of having community tags would be nice too, but we'd have to settle down on a taxonomy that isn't too broad or precise and that has a localized version so that all languages can link to the same taxonomy.
I would rather have a filter that would hide any content that is related to chosen topics.
This isn't a problem for me. I just block out those instances. Also I swap to the everything feed every so often to find new communities to sub to, then usually go back to subscription feed.
Both would be even better...
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
