There are too many damn anime communities on Lemmy

?

I don't see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?

What is mental for me is that people browse the ALL feed and then complain about what it shows... I feel crazy only browsing my subbed communities all the time lol.

Oh no, that terrible anime subs and content. Quick everyone post more fully qualified !links to more of these groups so i can avoid them, there's only been a few in the thread so far

Yes. My block list is YUGE.

I browse by All, and rarely see them anymore. I think my instance and community blocking strategy must be working.

I'm more concerned about the huge number of posts involving politics in my app.

They chill until they post sexy pictures of 16 year old characters.

Then you post the age of the character in the post. That more fun than blocking.

Block ani.social or @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz. You can block me too because I post on !nokotan@ani.social.

For a second I wasn't sure if I had posted this and just didn't remember it

This is the dream.

Anime and odd sexual fetish subs. And whatever this furry stuff is

Try sports now..

I miss the 2000’s, when people were a little bit ashamed to admit they like anime. Now like half the people on the internet literally have anime profile pictures. It’s weird as fuck.

It wouldn’t even annoy me so bad if I didn’t constantly get targeted for anime related advertising. I can’t stand anime. Why does my algorithm think I want anime things? I will never buy a big titted anime figurine, and just seeing one makes me curse the gods for giving me sight.

It’s not just anime, but also (in my experience) music, games, and ai. They seem to feel that there needs to be a community for every. single. possible. sub-genre. 😞

You can say the same for politics, memes, and many other genres for that matter. And I have no doubt there are those that are bothered by it too. Yes, we can all hide away under our local or subscribed feeds, but that’s a narrow-minded and xenophobic solution. We all should be able to scroll whatever feed, using whatever sort, we choose to use and not be assailed and harassed by these fervent die-hard (possibly ocd) “fans” of whatever genre du jour there happens to be.

It’s a shame that Lemmy does not have a way to tag communities by genre. And it’s a shame most communities probably wouldn’t use it even if it were supported. It would not only help filtering out specific content, but conversely it would help with content discovery. Of course there is also any potential for abuse, because let’s face it, there are those that will just because they can. But I do t feel that’s worth not having a useful feature like tagging or whatever you want to call it.

Just block the instance

I wish I could just block everything from the internet

Just go to the subscribed section so you don't have to deal with them.

Join a smaller instance. As long as members don’t subscribe to the anime communities, they won’t feed into the feed.

I browse all and sort by top month, I've seen 2 or 3 anime subs, blocked them, and haven't seen anything since?

Just don't join them?

FUCKING AGREED !

Oh it is definitely a lot of whacking and blocking.

Your anime is not unique enough to not just be posted in one mega anime community. That's easier to block. Probably has the same voice actors, too.

Do yourself a favour and search for and block communities in these

Futa
Yiff
Hentai
Moe
Fur

Haven't seen any of that shit for a few days

Then, after the general and porn communities have been blocked, the specific show communities pop up. At least the anime fans on lemmy aren’t insufferable.

You can choose to browse all, local or subscribed. My guess is, you don’t spend much time checking the subscribed feed if you end up seeing stuff you don’t care about. It’s true that pretty much everything in the “all” menu is irrelevant stuff I don’t want to see, so I don’t really check that place very often.

Downvoted because this is true.

Y'all watch too many Japanese car-toons, and the apparent age of the female characters is fucking questionable, and every time someone brings it up yous start bleating about projecting to try and excuse it

Fucking weird, guys
