You can block the whole Fediverse community. I did. Like, it’s helpful. I also blocked asklemmy. Also helpful. I haven’t blocked it on kbin, though. It doesn’t matter, I see shit I’m not subscribed to when I filter by “subscribed” still. I think filtering by keyword is going to be a long time away. You can be obnoxious as a commenter, though. When you see the keyword, say something contrary in a comment. That could be fun.

I’m not subscribed to this magazine, yet it still shows up when I filter by “subscribed.” I’d like it to stop now. BTW, it’s not a dad joke. It’s just a terrible joke. Also, Kbin, stop showing me magazines I’m not subscribed to when I filter by subscribed. Thank you. Please. This magazine is the most irritating one I see when I filter by “subscribed” and I’m not subscribed to it. Also: gonna start complaining on all the magazines with comments like this about my personal problem with this web site. Might try to change my user name to Karen or something. I really need to speak to a manager.

I’ve done this. I won’t do it again. Reason: It takes too long. It’s cool, though. It really didn’t do enough for me to think I had to repeat the experiment. Brewed espresso with ice cubes tossed in is good enough for me. I think it’s definitely worthwhile for every individual to try it out and see what happens, though. For example, I did not convulse or shake. I really thought I would, because I drank a huge glass of it. I didn’t.

I just don’t like the trend toward a Reddit clone. People should be more imaginative. Do we really need a “You Should Know” community? Not useful to me. Come up with something better, re-spin it and improve on it. Really could do without “AITA”. Smaller subs, as I said in a previous reply, are so specific that if they get repeated on Lemmy, it’s not really that they were repeated from Reddit. Like, let’s say a lot of people on Reddit like Aardvarks and had a sub about their devotion to Aardvarks. Having a community for that on Lemmy is not the same thing as having a clone of “You Should Know.” There are certain subs on Reddit that inadvertently contributed to creating a Reddit brand. I could do without those.

I’m really not talking about smaller communities. I’m talking about the ones that made the Reddit brand. Like AITA, for example. A lot of the smaller communities could be discussion boards anywhere because they’re so small and they are a niche. If there was an Aardvark Lovers sub on Reddit, I’m all in for an Aardvark Lovers sub on Lemmy. Do I really want to see a lot of the same big subs? No. A lot of what I see on YSK is stuff I don’t need to know, don’t care about, didn’t change my life or affect me at all, whether it’s on Reddit or Lemmy. My point, which you did not get, is that I don’t want a Reddit clone.

How’s about they stop trying to migrate Reddit subs over to Lemmy as communities? That would be nice. I don’t want a Reddit substitute. I want a new thing that puts Reddit entirely in the past. I want a fresh start, not a Reddit clone. Reddit sucked for a lot of reasons. I could go on and on. Stop replying to comments with “this” as well. But, mostly, I’d like to see people from Reddit moving over to here with zero Reddit nostalgia. Say goodbye to your favorite Reddit subs, stop trying to re-create them over here in the Fediverse. Instead, have some imagination and create new, original communities and kick the whole Reddit vibe to the curb for once and for all.

I saw a documentary about a serial killer that called his victims “long pigs.” I guess in this case you’d be eating pork from actual pigs.

Wow, not only does Prime Day offer nothing good to buy on sale, it actually doesn’t offer the lowest price over a one-month period. I’m surprised OP found something interesting to buy for Prime Day. I don’t even bother checking it out because in the past, all I see is junk I don’t want or need.

Hi! Thanks for answering. I’m using Firefox. But, I get the same behavior on my Android phone (also using Firefox, though.)

I posted a question about sorting threads by “subscribed” and only seeing threads from magazines I’m not subscribed to and nobody could answer my question. I also have that weird problem. Maybe my account is cursed! LOL
