My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

    Nope, porn sport and anime bore me to tears… all blocked, plus a bunch of hyper-regional communities (sorry, Seattle, I’m in Europe, so the internal affairs of your city have little interest to me). I also had to block c/India because it kept getting pushed into my /all list.

      Yeah, same about c/india. It kind of annoys me, because I would have been interested in some of their culture, food etc., but it was just a ton of posts and mostly about politics…

      Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.

      I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I’m hella interested in but don’t get much play here. There’s basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.

      Each day i feel too normie for this place

      I’m not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,
