Pretty much all non English/Spanish/Portuguese/Italian instances. No point having them in my feed if I can't read them.

Religion

Hexbear, AuthLeft

Advertising communities

Political parties

"General", unspecified non-meme communities (nowherelsetopost etc)

Most of them I don't know why. I just came back to this account because of lemm.ee.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago

Got the tankie triad in there. I switched from lemm.ee too and forgot to reblock those, mentioned that term in a comment thread on .ml and the content got removed for "bigotry". Reassures having them in there is a good idea.

I don't block much but I do have a couple of filters that do good work on Piefed.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 15 hours ago

Mostly just subjects I don't have any interest in, such as football, F1, etc.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago

There's a lot of freaky porn out there that I don't want to see

[–] [email protected] 18 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

This is why i think subject tagging for communities makes a lot of sense. I want to remove anime, k-pop, video games, sports, region-specific, tv/movie, “anarchy”/“everything sucks” and plenty of other entire categories from my “All” feed, but blocking is a never-ending effort.

Oh my god, soooooo many. An unreal amount of dreck here. The worst part is that I've blocked all that stuff and now it's mostly terrible world news. And so, to answer your question, no it hasn't made the experience here better. I guess my interests don't jive with the main niches around here.

Personally I block anything that ends with "moe" I'm not really into thirst traps and anime thirst traps feel like the bottom of an already unwanted barrel.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, forgot about this. Each time I rotate accounts I’ve got to go on an anime blocking spree. Nothing against anime but the fans are creeps.

ZeroBytes.monster I don't want a reddit bot in my feed. I wanted a clean break during the reddit 3rd party app backstabbing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

Politics and memes.

Social media is a terrible source for accurate, unbiased information. And memes are low quality content that shouldn't be consumed by anyone.

Hexbear is blocked for me.

I don’t have any. I instead subscribe to as many communities I find interesting and set my feed to only my subscriptions. I rarely venture out to All and only do when I want to discover more communities.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago

I’ve found this is exactly the best way to enjoy Lemmy.

None, but my frontpage is subscribed communities only.
