Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A very simple method would just be blocking those as you see them.
And then keep blocking them.
It's not exactly difficult, I do it with all the AI and most of the meme communities.
Every once and a while someone makes a new one, but you just block it when you see it.
Unfortunate downside is you will miss other posts from a community, and US is always bound to show up in unrelated communities. I especially remember, albeit in Reddit, a photo of the now-president came out, and was everywhere. The damn gaming community had it posted. Like, wtf? The same one, everywhere. Not Lemmy, of course, but still. If there was a list anywhere of ones I could safely block without much side effects. Not even necessarily politics, but some may be specific to places I do not live in
Focus on users as well. Not that many people care enough to come post articles on here about Trump or whatever.
Wish there were topics or categories, such that we could block that instead. Would make it easier
Same, that was my experience browsing "All" as a new Lemmy user... "Wow... that's a lot of furry porn... and gay porn... and gay furry porn..."
Blocking those communities one by one rendered the All feed mostly sensible.
LOT of furry porn!
Even good meme communities?
I left /microblogmemes and /political memes
If there's anymore left they're just flying under the radar.
But those are "memes" by the Richard Dawkins original meaning of the term. Not "memes" as in "haha, guys like how stupid I am, don't you think I'm stupid" humor.
Memes aren't just shitty jokes, but thats all that's in the shitty meme communities.
