I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!
For a second I wasn’t sure if I had posted this and just didn’t remember it
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.
?
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?
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.

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.
Try sports now…
Wait where are you seeing all the sports content? Any sport communities I browse have only a handful of regulars knocking about (don’t get me wrong, I’m glad of them, but it’s not quite the same as Reddit)
With sports it is more annoying because they tend to come in through bursts for very specific communities, like individual sports teams. Blocking each sports team community one at a time is like playing whack a mole.
It isn’t that they are overwhelming the All - Hot feed all the time, but there are bursts where they do.
Back in the day, when Reddit was a thing, I always wanted some sort of dynamic curated block list. If I were to subscribe to the “sports” block list, then all the current sports subs would be added to my filters. Every time a new sports sub gets created, users have the ability to add that new sub to the dynamic “sports” list. At that point, everyone else that is subscribed to that “sports” list gets that new sub added to their filters automatically.

Ah the one from a week ago or so? There were a couple new ones for me in there, but none of the sports I’m interested in (basically football* & rugby) have super active communities. I’m glad I’m an arsenal fan at least because we’re the one team community I’ve seen that seems to have something new every day.
*The international kind, not NFL
(Also cheers to you for keeping the content up in the new communities community, definitely found a lot through your posts)
FUCKING AGREED !
