MFW I figured out who the general audience of Lemmy is..... (sh.itjust.works)

I've been using a 3rd party client to access posts on Lemmy. I loved the experience back when Reddit allowed 3rd party apps. But I felt the feed was a bit........one sided.

I figured it was just because I was new to Lemmy, but then I sorted posts by New.

Nothing but trans anime porn. It's like the only people that came to Lemmy were the people that got kicked out of Reddit circles because all they could think about was trans anime porn.

Maybe I signed up on the wrong instance? But I don't think that's the problem.

How are so many people trying to treat Lemmy as a balanced alternative to Reddit?

What the fuck?!

Curious to see your list of blocked instances (and if you remember why for each one).

I've only blocked a couple, but I've seriously thought about many more.

Took me a while as I'm doing this on a phone but here are my blocked instances with reasons, and for your enjoyment, all my blocked communities (there are considerably fewer than 800 though)

Mostly I block things I have little interest in, foreign languages, nsfw, anime, bands, video games, religions, subcultures I'm not a part of. I generally don't have any ill will toward them but have no need to see their posts. Some of these I've blocked after browsing c/all and seen one post. This blocklist has made c/all pleasantly readable for me. I've also got a few dozen users blocked but I'll I'll keep that list to myself.

As someone with two communities on dubvee.org, I don't think it's a bad instance, in fact it's pretty great. Lots of moderation tooling being developed there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I can't remember why I blocked them, it was probably like a year ago perhaps when I was having a bad day or something. So I have removed them as a blocked instance because of your kind comment and look forward to reading posts there on my /all feed). Thank you, stranger!
