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?

    Porn: there’s so much of it on here. If I didn’t block most of it, it’d be half my feed

    Sports: I simply do not give a shit about the stats of some cricket game I didn’t know about

    Anime: I’m frankly just sick of the art style that so much of it shares. I don’t dislike anime as a rule but for a lot of shows, you could drop any character into another anime and they’d fit right in. And on top of that, I can’t stand the hyper sexualization of immature female characters that is so prevalent in the genre. I don’t think middle schoolers are hot so I don’t like when “sexy” characters act like one

      Sure! Your reasons are valid and I’m not asking you to defend them.

      I certainly don’t like everything in any of those categories either. I’ve got slices I’m into, but yeah, the broad categories are def part of my interests.

      Interesting. Here on lemmy.ml, none of the porn shows up, because I guess, it’s blocked at the instance level. Unfortunately, I do still get horny anime posts every so often…

        Lemmynsfw must not be federated with lemmy.ml and that’s where it’s concentrated so that makes sense. Horny anime posts are an instant block for me and I think I’ve taken care of most of them. I usually just see the -moe communities pop up now.
