I don’t mind politics, but I do mind:

  • AI generated images
  • Porn
  • Anime models (all the “moe” stuff)
  • Something that combines above (like thirsty AI-generated anime models)
  • (RSS) bots that post links but there’s never any discussion in the threads
  • Non-English content that I can’t read or local content that doesn’t apply to me
  • Games I don’t play (anymore) or will never play

Is there an easier way to curate content? Browsing “new” is like whack-a-mole.

    It sounds like instead of ‘disallow’ list you want an ‘allow’ list feature…

      browsing by subscribed content works like that. I imagine it looks like I’m blocking everything and everyone but I’m just trying to curate my feed to make it as less noisy as possible

    If the internet upsets/bothers you -THAT- much… why don’t you simply find a better hobby? I mean, the moment that (pretty much anything in life) starts to give you more stress/anger above everything else… that is where you should stop for a moment and rethink your life decisions/choices.

    In other words… this is meant to be a distraction, not your third job.

      I’m not upset about it, I’m just trying to receive recommendations on content curation.

      Does scrolling past 5 posts that aren’t even in your language sound like an appealing Lemmy experience?

        I’m not upset about it,

        You just mentioned about 5 posts not being an “appealing Lemmy experience”. Only. Five. Posts.

        It’s time to take a break my dude.

          What are you even talking about? They’re curating the communities and instances they engage with. That’s literally one of the core functionalities of the fediverse.

          “YOU’RE NOT ENGAGING WITH LITERALLY WHATEVER IS PUT IN FRONT OF YOU. MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP USING THE INTERNET!”

          Omg I’m dying lol 🤣

          Hey OP, I have a suggestion for someone to block… I’m going to block him as well.

      If you browse by “subscribed”, you only see the communities you have joined. I sometimes browse “new” just to see what’s happening now, and this shows all posts from any community (you haven’t blocked). The sorting method “Active” is posts from 1-2 days ago and the content in “Hot” stays about the same throughout the day.
