?
I don't see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?
Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don't think I've ever seen one... Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting... 😐
I've had to block a lot of anime subs. It was a problem for a while, but now I hardly see any.
Yes, blocking something you don't want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.
Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:
Block the instance
Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don't. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren't local
Damn, I created !dragonball@ani.social there, didn't know it would be so controversial
I love anime and I'm subscribed on there but if you look at the list if so many came from one instance then just block that instance from the app, I think there might be on the profile. Like:
Check out ani.social and go from there.
Or just look at my post history.
It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.
Oh, they never stopped. I'm still posting regularly to all of them, but I set up all the ones I wanted, so if you blocked them you wont have seen any new ones pop up in a while.
What is mental for me is that people browse the ALL feed and then complain about what it shows... I feel crazy only browsing my subbed communities all the time lol.
What's crazy to me is that I browse all and have very little blocked and I don't see the huge amounts of whatever the posts are complaining about (except if the complaint is about US politics). Rarely see more than 1 or 2 anime related posts in about 2 communities. Almost never see porn of any kind; let alone furry stuff and I'm on an instance meant for it.
Makes me wonder if they're just getting a bug that some apps have where it just keeps repeating the same 5 posts as you scroll instead of correctly updating. That was the biggest issue I had with Connect and Liftoff.
yeah, it doesn't make sense to complain, but browsing ALL and blocking what you never wanna see again leaves you with lots of neat stuff you wouldn't have found sticking to your subscribed communities.
however, i wish lemmy had categories/tags for communities, so people could block or specificly browse everything anime or everything sports etc. it would be quite helpful.
All is how I browsed reddit, so it's how I browse Lemmy too. Like others have said, it allows you to find new communities, and is a pleasant experience once you filter out all the trouble communities and instances.
And TBF, Lemmy doesn't have default communities and I'm too lazy/ADHD to subscribe to any of them.
How few interests do you have and how active are the communities? If I did just my subbed communities all the time it would be 2 day old politics and comedy subs with last post 2+ weeks ago.
I guess maybe you don't browse much or you've got a much more active set of core subs.
(Maybe some of that unavoidable anime and femboy content IDK)
Oh no, that terrible anime subs and content. Quick everyone post more fully qualified !links to more of these groups so i can avoid them, there's only been a few in the thread so far
You can straight up just stalk my post history ;D
You pop up so often I'm surprised when your not around.
MentalEdge goes on 7 day vacation.
You: "Hello, police? I think MentalEdge has been kidnapped or murdered. I haven't seen any anime titties lately!"
Police: "...........what is going on now?"
Yeah :D
It's a pity not everyone wants me around, but I'm not going anywhere, so complaints are quite pointless.
Yes. My block list is YUGE.
this is how i manage it, people say use subscribed but that shit blocks you in. fedi needs people posting across communities to liven it up
I browse by All, and rarely see them anymore. I think my instance and community blocking strategy must be working.
This person curates their feed ⬆️
How can I achieve this?
You block instances, users, and communities you don't want in your feed.
And you subscribe to communities you'd like to check back on.
I'm more concerned about the huge number of posts involving politics in my app.
They chill until they post sexy pictures of 16 year old characters.
Then you post the age of the character in the post. That more fun than blocking.
Maybe slap some quotes on sexy
Block ani.social or @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz. You can block me too because I post on !nokotan@ani.social.
I do post a lot of non-anime stuff, too.
Like !gameart@sopuli.xyz and more recently !moomin@sopuli.xyz.
For a second I wasn't sure if I had posted this and just didn't remember it
This is the dream.
Try sports now..
Wait where are you seeing all the sports content? Any sport communities I browse have only a handful of regulars knocking about (don't get me wrong, I'm glad of them, but it's not quite the same as Reddit)
With sports it is more annoying because they tend to come in through bursts for very specific communities, like individual sports teams. Blocking each sports team community one at a time is like playing whack a mole.
It isn't that they are overwhelming the All - Hot feed all the time, but there are bursts where they do.
I miss the 2000’s, when people were a little bit ashamed to admit they like anime. Now like half the people on the internet literally have anime profile pictures. It’s weird as fuck.
It wouldn’t even annoy me so bad if I didn’t constantly get targeted for anime related advertising. I can’t stand anime. Why does my algorithm think I want anime things? I will never buy a big titted anime figurine, and just seeing one makes me curse the gods for giving me sight.
Lemmy doesn't have an algorithm. Everyone gets the exact same feed, and you curate what you see using subs and blocks.
Why does my algorithm think I want anime things?
Lemmy shows everything to everyone except if you block the communities.
It’s not just anime, but also (in my experience) music, games, and ai. They seem to feel that there needs to be a community for every. single. possible. sub-genre. 😞
You can say the same for politics, memes, and many other genres for that matter. And I have no doubt there are those that are bothered by it too. Yes, we can all hide away under our local or subscribed feeds, but that’s a narrow-minded and xenophobic solution. We all should be able to scroll whatever feed, using whatever sort, we choose to use and not be assailed and harassed by these fervent die-hard (possibly ocd) “fans” of whatever genre du jour there happens to be.
It’s a shame that Lemmy does not have a way to tag communities by genre. And it’s a shame most communities probably wouldn’t use it even if it were supported. It would not only help filtering out specific content, but conversely it would help with content discovery. Of course there is also any potential for abuse, because let’s face it, there are those that will just because they can. But I do t feel that’s worth not having a useful feature like tagging or whatever you want to call it.

Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
