Asklemmy

I just block communities that don’t interest me (eg. all hentai).

I tend to browse Subscribed but sometimes veer into All to find new stuff that might interest me.

I have a massive subscribe list, and I usually just read subscriptions. I'll occasionally (maybe once it twice a week) read all, and if I notice interesting communities: subscribe to them too.

Just keep scrolling

I just block them. Nothing wrong with them—I’m just not interested in the topic.

I don't deal with them, I just keep scrolling

I don't seek them out.

I don't block too many things, because there can occasionally be news related to a topic I have no interest in that is still interesting. Like I have no interest in sports, but if there's something big like a scandal or arrest or some great play it mistakes, it's fun to catch that stuff.

The main things I outright block are anything NSFW that is definitely not for me, but mostly it's just about all of the meme communities. The amount of material those groups churn out is overwhelming and so many just seem so low effort. Things like programming humor generally don't bother me much, but most are just meh.

Most of them I just ignore. But a handful were very active and were topics I was 100% never gonna be interessted in, so I blocked them.

I only browse subscribed, but I also sub the muni discovery munis.

Sturgeon's Law: 90% of anything is crap. Better to skim from the top than wade up a from the bottom, I say.

I switch back between subscribed and all with blocks on communities. A medium ground with all, including blocks, or 'quietens' as well as blocks would help.

Some communities are spammy and I don't want them cluttering my feed constantly, but complete block seems excessive. An option to only see the best of their posts would be good. So perhaps they would be quietened to see a max number of top posts or have a ratio applied to their popularity in my feed.

Some communities I do want to block forever though. The problem is subscribed is very limited until the communities build out. All is too spammy and requires lots of curation. We need a middle ground.

I only block them if they spam my feed (like memes and 196) or I'm strongly opposed to their content. Otherwise I just ignore them the old fashioned way.

I usually stick to subscribe and Search lemmyverse when I'm looking for new things or I use the new community community

I usually block because I like going through all because discovery of new communities but there is a lot of junk and spam and non interesting communities.

My account is registered on feddit.de so there's no porn. In a second step I block the few outliers. I don't need the more extrem political subs or the fanatic fanboys. It's not that many subs so simply blocking them is fine.

Same, op. I just block communities to curate the feed to how I want it.

I use Connect: i filter alot of undesired coms and instances so i could browse only interesting stuff. I filter alot that i get a runtime error, due to server overwhelmed with requests. Connect Dev said that the app will be optimized in a way that u could browse infinitly without compromising said filters or encountring such error. I feel my only bottleneck now is android ram, since browsing down the feed causes the phone to become sluggish and cause other background run apps to crash: probably considering getting a phone with extra ram (8gig with swap enabled? )

I come across many of them on here, esp. all the nude photos, some users are posting full nudes without any screen to conceal it unless I click to view it, so I block that user and block that community. Same goes for any post that is not in English, the user and community gets blocked as I have no need to see foreign language from that user or community ever again.
