Did anyone else have to block the meme communities cuz that’s all they see? 😂
No, I just don't subscribe to them. So why would you contribute to the problem by posting a meme to a non-meme community?

That’s where Subscribed versus All comes in though. I do want to see what everyone is upvoting, even when it’s all memes/196 posts. We’re in a shitpost phase now but it’ll pass.
Definitely. I’ll probably unblock that stuff once there’s more variety to the All section
Yep this is where I'm at too
Ya it's a little concerning how quickly people shifted to posting low effort crap in bulk in order to simulate a bigger community
Yes, I started blocking meme communities. I think I've reached my "I'm too old for this shit" age or something.
I do still have the themed meme communities unblocked. Like programming memes and Star Wars memes. Those still give my old ass a sensible chuckle.
I had to manually search every community with meme and shitposting in it's name to block them. And even then I had to manually block a lot of others. I want to see memes and I enjoy the humor but it's not ALL I want to see.
Can you give me a list of communities you blocked? I would like to subscribe to them.
Thunder app just added the ability to block.
I think I have finally blocked enything Meme or Shitpost. WOW! What a difference. I don't need to scroll anywhere near as much.
You know what? You just inspired me to do it. Definitely cluttering up my day and making me scroll way more than I should/had to.
Joke on you. I'm here for the memes
That’s perfectly fine
I have to say overall the memes are much better quality than what I saw on Reddit.
Not so much in All feed and my Subscribed is feed is pretty curated, but if I switch to Top then pretty much yeah. 🤣
I did by accident but lets see how this goes. Then 196 intentionally.
Since I unfollowed them I had to do a double take on the community cause my subscriptions have no memes left, I still browse ALL for the whole experience, no bans tho
