Any recommendations to my blocklist?

I don't mind politics, but I do mind:
- AI generated images
- Porn
- Anime models (all the "moe" stuff)
- Something that combines above (like thirsty AI-generated anime models)
- (RSS) bots that post links but there's never any discussion in the threads
- Non-English content that I can’t read or local content that doesn't apply to me
- Games I don't play (anymore) or will never play
Is there an easier way to curate content? Browsing "new" is like whack-a-mole.
You're viewing a single thread.
Feddit.org is bilingual and has a lot of users participating on English-language communities. So maybe better to block the individual communities if you don't want to decrease the userbase you can interact with.
Oh really? I have only seen German communities coming from that. I initially thought it would be more than just that (considering
.org) but after so many German posts, I just blocked the instance.Nothing wrong with the posts / communities itself, but I don't speak or read German so it's just noise to me
There are a couple active English-speaking communities there, like /c/europe@feddit.org, but you're right that most content on the instance is in German. It's more that their userbase is also pretty active on other, English-speaking instances and I'm pretty sure that by blocking the instance, you won't see any of those posts and comments either.
!technik@feddit.org is fun because most articles are in english, and if the first comment is made in english, then all the german comments get downvoted to hell. But if the first comment is german, english speakers won't dare chime in. It's a modern day battle royale of languages!
I don't think it blocks users from that instance when you block the instance, just threads posted to said instance. I might be wrong, idk, but that's what I read before.
Just tried this out, it seems you're right. TIL. Always thought it would be the local equivalent of defederation.
