None. I can handle other ideas and opinions just fine.

All the anime, furries, sports, non-English, news, and politics.
Anything Linux. We get it. You like Linux. If I wanted to be converted by religious nuts I'd still be talking to a whole side of my family.
I'd like to talk to you about climate change. Do you happen to have a minute?
Nothing. I go through my feed raw and unfiltered .ml, hexbear, and everything
All the non-English ones. If I can't read it then there's no point to having it clutteting things up.
Also all the porn. That's not what I'm here for.
So much furry content, holy smokes.
The short answer is anything I don't like or want to see. The shorter answer is .ml.
Blocked furry and most trans stuff. A ton of the porn that littered my feed. That’s probably 75% of my blocklist. Many non-english communities, though I’ve kept a few to run through translators just to see what’s going on in other countries. Communities with high post counts of memes that spam my feed. Any /c with no interest in good faith discussion.
Rick and Morty com. No explanation needed.
Blocked most furry and trans communities. I'm not against it, not into it and its overrepresented here for obvious reasons.
whoo boy time to block infosec.pub...
I browse mostly by All/Everything, and it's about an 70/20/10 split of non-English communities, sports communities, and anime communities respectively.
The non-English communities are typically on non-English local instances (feddit.org, feddit.nl, jlai.lu, etc), but I don't want to block those instances entirely because their users will still participate in other communities in English and it's not their fault that I just don't speak the language.
The sports communities are just because I don't typically care for that type of content. There are only a couple of sports I actively follow, and within those sports I don't need to see communities dedicated to each and every specific team, so I just block to filter the ones I have no interest in.
As for the anime, I actually do love anime, but a lot of them are communities for specific series I'm not into (which, if I'm being frank, are almost all just utter shit-tier waifu bait material), and others are very creepy "X"-moe communities which just make me feel gross when they turn up (and for those, blocking a single user was enough to get rid of 99% of that).
Mostly murican politics, politics memes, trump/musk stuff (it's like playing whac-a-mole), some anime and furry stuff.
Anything with anime "Mo", porn, or "furry" in it. I'm not hating on them, it's just not for me.
what is mo?
- A spider community because I ain't about that life as an arachnophobic person.
- A bunch of minecraft communities because I completely ditched the game after they decided that Java players aren't allowed to use adult words anymore on their private single player worlds and also because of the whole chat thing where all messages you send are linked to your specific account.
- Entomology because I don't fuck with bugs.
- A few different AI communities because I try to avoid AI if possible.
- A community about dicks and dick pics. Not my cup of tea and I don't feel like seeing them on any feed since I don't blur NSFW images.
Those are just a few. The rest are minor things or other communities that are the same thing essentially, but on different instances.
"Elon" "Musk" "Trump" "Donald"
I did the same! Much more enjoyable experience
Is your feed empty then?
Nah, should be plenty of star trek and Linux remaining
The whole lemmynsfw instance. Don't need that distraction here.
Text filters - any keywords for news topics that I've had enough of (mostly reoccurring political topics)
Weird meme shit from some strange community (or something that is just not my generation) - block the whole community.
A poster who's engaging in bad faith - blocked, never to be heard from again.
I also set my mobile client (Connect) to mark posts that I've scrolled by as read, and to only show unread posts.
I filter by All / Top 6 hours
My experience on Lemmy is getting better and better, and I feel no need to doom scroll here.
Almost all anime and a lot of the ai communities
The German ones who have the language set to English but only post in German. And the reason should be pretty obvious: They're assholes who are intentionally clogging up the feed of another language.
They mostly don't have the language set at all, like 99% of all posts and the reason is nobody cares.
I actually really enjoy translating the whole comments pages sometimes if I get the meme through context clues, can't tell if things get lost in translation or German humor is just really odd though..
Same. I block every instance and topic thats not in english. I cant read it and am not about to learn danish or german or whatever it is, so its an utter waste of my and lemmys time and bandwidth to show it to me. It should really be a standard feature.
Anything involving AI image generation
