Any recommendations to my blocklist?
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.
If the internet upsets/bothers you -THAT- much... why don't you simply find a better hobby? I mean, the moment that (pretty much anything in life) starts to give you more stress/anger above everything else... that is where you should stop for a moment and rethink your life decisions/choices.
In other words... this is meant to be a distraction, not your third job.
I'm not upset about it, I'm just trying to receive recommendations on content curation.
Does scrolling past 5 posts that aren't even in your language sound like an appealing Lemmy experience?
Idk, it's your blocklist.
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.
Do you have to block communities? I thought you could just not join them to avoid their content.
If you browse by "subscribed", you only see the communities you have joined. I sometimes browse "new" just to see what's happening now, and this shows all posts from any community (you haven't blocked). The sorting method "Active" is posts from 1-2 days ago and the content in "Hot" stays about the same throughout the day.
Thank you, I did not know that.
lemmit.online, just contains automated reposts from Reddit.
thanks, there's a reason I left Reddit!
It sounds like instead of 'disallow' list you want an 'allow' list feature...
browsing by subscribed content works like that. I imagine it looks like I'm blocking everything and everyone but I'm just trying to curate my feed to make it as less noisy as possible
