I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!
?
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?
Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one… Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting… 😐
Eh, I’m more into tentacles and whatnot.
Still, we were talking about seeing stuff by default, not by looking it up.
And the thing about Lemmy and having to look up stuff that you don’t see by default is that once you find it it turns out to be the same dozen or so posts you found the last time you looked. And the previous one. And the one before.
In the most tragic cases you can see a user posting stuff for a week or two around the time of the Reddit API exodus, hoping to attract other lemmings interested in the same stuff so they’d post their own… and slowly losing hope until they stop. It’s fucking sad.
Don’t get me wrong, Lemmy is still far better than Reddit is now, and orders of magnitude more alive if you don’t count the bots (Reddit is more alive in the sense that a decomposing corpse full of maggots is more full of life than the poor critter was before dying, except the maggots are bots, which aren’t alive at all), but it’s far from what Reddit was before it killed itself, let alone when when it was good.
Also, holy necromancy Batman… this thread was about a month old…!
I’ve had to block a lot of anime subs. It was a problem for a while, but now I hardly see any.
Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.
Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:
Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.
Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.
It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.
Yes, OP’s post is unpopular.
I would also like to sign up for Anime news and updates.
Please lmk how to do this.
For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on “all” (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by “hot” (the default).
I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.
…And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn’t even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.
Barely a single pair of anime tiddies among the whole lot. What a drag.
There is a post about anime communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
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.
What’s crazy to me is that I browse all and have very little blocked and I don’t see the huge amounts of whatever the posts are complaining about (except if the complaint is about US politics). Rarely see more than 1 or 2 anime related posts in about 2 communities. Almost never see porn of any kind; let alone furry stuff and I’m on an instance meant for it.
Makes me wonder if they’re just getting a bug that some apps have where it just keeps repeating the same 5 posts as you scroll instead of correctly updating. That was the biggest issue I had with Connect and Liftoff.
I’m the same. I browse All and don’t remember the last time I saw any anime communities. I see porn occasionally, but it doesn’t bother me. When I find a community I like, I subscribe to it. If it’s a community I don’t like, I’ll block it. Once Lemmy grows more, I’ll probably just switch over to my subscribed feed.
yeah, it doesn’t make sense to complain, but browsing ALL and blocking what you never wanna see again leaves you with lots of neat stuff you wouldn’t have found sticking to your subscribed communities.
however, i wish lemmy had categories/tags for communities, so people could block or specificly browse everything anime or everything sports etc. it would be quite helpful.
This is what Im doing for now, also trying to subscribe to a bunch of stuff.
But Im newbhear and still browse reddit some as I figure all this out.
Now if only my favorite twitter followers would switch to mastadon…

Oh yeah, I can totally dig that, I had the trending communities at my subbed communities though, although I don’t see it popping up as often as it used to.

I like Summit for Lemmy a lot because it let me create multi communities, so far I have one for gaming, one for retrogaming and other for handheld gaming, sadly Lemmy ain’t reddit yet (only the first two are fairly active).
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Lemmy needs customized feeds. You create a feed, You call it “Nintendo”. Then you create another catagory, “subscribed”. Then you open the subscribed catagory, and uncheck all the communities you’re subscribed to that relate to Nintendo.
Then you open Nintendo, and uncheck all, then recheck all communities that DO relate to Nintendo.
Now, if Nintendo has their direct, and it’s 11am because Japan isn’t in the same time zone as America, so you’re at work…you can browse “Subscribed” without being spoiled on the direct. Then, AFTER you get home, and watch the direct, you can browse by Subscribed + Nintendo, and you’ll see all your communities. Or browese by Nintendo, and ONLY see Nintendo communities that you’re subscribed to.
Now do that for every catagory you subscribe to.
You could browse by Nintendo + Pro Wrestling. Now you’re seeing a custom feed of JUST Nintendo related communities, and JUST Pro Wrestling communities mixed together in one feed. But you wouldn’t see your news communties, or your photography communities, or your porn communities.
But if you browse by all, you should have 2 options, All-All, and All-Local. Which should both be self explainitory. But browsing by All, you shouldn’t get the right to complain that somethng exists. You can block it, and never see it again, but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t make a similiar community, and you can’t complain. Things exist. Deal with it.
But we do need some more elaborate subscribe based feeds.
Multi communities are going to arrive thanks to a recent funding: https://lemmy.world/post/19692354?scrollToComments=true
All is how I browsed reddit, so it’s how I browse Lemmy too. Like others have said, it allows you to find new communities, and is a pleasant experience once you filter out all the trouble communities and instances.
And TBF, Lemmy doesn’t have default communities and I’m too lazy/ADHD to subscribe to any of them.
That is fair, browsing my subbed subreddits for more than 10 years was my way to go for Reddit (Reddit was my replacement for Feedly, basically, so I am used to curating my stuff).
Maybe that is why, aside from the APIcalypse I don’t have a grudge against Reddit, and I missed some huge drama shit and toxic bs that you’d find in r/All (spam, bots and reposts too).
If you want drama, !fediverselore@lemmy.ca and !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com have some
How few interests do you have and how active are the communities? If I did just my subbed communities all the time it would be 2 day old politics and comedy subs with last post 2+ weeks ago.
I guess maybe you don’t browse much or you’ve got a much more active set of core subs.
(Maybe some of that unavoidable anime and femboy content IDK)
I follow more than 800 communities, I never finish up my backlog feed 🤣 (but I do see a lot of repeated content for sure).
I’ve got maybe 50? But you can’t get new ones without browsing “All” or searching for specific stuff. If you don’t know what you’re looking for “All” is the only way to find new communities.
Why do you want to browse stuff that you have zero interest in? I imagine it to be a massive waste of time.
I’d prefer to view only the communities I’ve subbed to and see that there is no new contributions than look at stuff I have no interest in because I can turn off Lemmy and do something else with my day.
How do you know what new things you have no interest in? I block the stuff I don’t like, I sub what I definitely do like (and occasionally browse it), and the rest I am happy to watch pass by and give up- or downvotes accordingly.
This is like asking “why would you go to a new website when you already know what you like?” Or “why would you go to a new place to look for friends or dates when you know you like people at XXX place?”.
Frankly, sorry, this perspective of “anything I haven’t subbed I obviously don’t like” is pretty fuckin stupid. Don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone thinking it.
Well, that is nice the trending communities community used to do that for me though.
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
Yeah :D
It’s a pity not everyone wants me around, but I’m not going anywhere, so complaints are quite pointless.
Yes. My block list is YUGE.
this is how i manage it, people say use subscribed but that shit blocks you in. fedi needs people posting across communities to liven it up

Curious coming from someone with 0 posts.
But yes, we do need more people
I browse by All, and rarely see them anymore. I think my instance and community blocking strategy must be working.
