  • How exactly would that work? Or, perhaps more specifically, how would the app know whats anime and whats not? muting and blocking the communities yourself would be far easier IMO.

    • I guess maybe keyword filtering?

      • Y'know, I forgot about keywords. I suppose that would work as long as everyone actually tags key words correctly and does so diligently. Or else I dont think there are enough context clues in the titles alone to properly filter out enough of the anime to be worthwhile.

  • Wrong way of asking it.

    "Option to tag anime content" and let people choose if they want to hide it or see every post with that tag.

    I'd add more tags (politics, sports, ...) but...

    • Lemmy devs are currently working on including hashtags in every post that are set by the community they're posted in. So all posts within c/formula1 could have the hashtags "formula1" and "motorsport", for example. Then muting/hiding by hashtags could be a possibility.

  • Boost has features already available to block various communities and sites. As much as I would like to see Lemmy implement and enforce a robust tagging system like some sites were probably never going to have that.

    You could also probably minimize your exposure by blocking the Japanese character set and popular sites such as pixiv, deviantart, *booru and catbox. But anime is mainstream now, just look at McDonald's clever advertising scheme.

    But if you would like to pioneer that feature, I would suggest posting your feature request to lemmy's GitHub since this is a bit beyond the ability of a client. And perhaps learn a new skill and implement that feature yourself.

  • Have Boost block every third post, that would probably get most of it. /s
