MODERATORS
 

Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.

Anyways, what communities do you recommend?

So. Much. Furry. Porn.

I e basically gotten to a point where my subscriptions make up such a long list of things I’m even tangentially interested in that I don’t even browse all anymore. I locked so much of the furry porn, but maybe opening all of the communities to block them manually made my feed think I was into it?

Lemmy doesn’t cater the All feed to you like other social media platforms - it doesn’t take into account which posts you open, which posts you upvote, etc.

I'm new here. I never realized how much I've always hated the entire concept of an algorithm until now. This is amazing.

It's almost all on a couple instances. I don't remember if lemmy supports instance blocking yet, but several apps do, so it's a lot easier to block that way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Lemmy supports instance blocking as of version 0.19. Some clients also support instance blocking for pre-0.19 instances.

My client is just set to not display nsfw posts. I never see it and I've blocked very few communities.
