seems like it’s 97% memes or news articles. i love a good shitpost but this site would be even better with in depth nuanced discussion – especially with a higher quality userbase than reddit

      No, I’ve blocked more communities since coming here than I would prefer. Just scrolling the All Hot feed sometimes looking for new stuff is really annoying. Theres an especially weird problem with hentai. I’ve blocked I swear like 40 communities, and they all could have been one single community, bcz when you click into the community, it’s one person posting over and over.

      You’re not alone. Thank fuck you said it. People create a whole new community where a single post would have achieved as much. It’s waaaay too broken down over here. I have had to block comms for each English premier league team, each fucking one. And pretty much empty comms apart from dead threads on match results.

      Yeah, it’s annoying having to block a dozen communities for the same subject, especially since you have to face the same issue for every server! I finally broke down and stopped using Jerboa and started using Sync, just because it has great blocking features. You can block by username, community, by server, and by keyword. I have a bunch of keywords blocked. “Trump, Elon Musk, Politics, Democrat, Republican, Twitter”, and a couple dozen more keywords are blocked for me because of how annoyingly pervasive they are. Some stuff still slips through, but because it’s not a constant onslaught, I actually enjoy it when it does slip through, instead of being constantly bombarded by it.
