I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!

    ?

    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?

      Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one… Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting… 😐

        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:

            Block the instance

            Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don’t. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren’t local

              I resent that.

              Please don’t go around commenting things that will make readers think “moe” means something it doesn’t.

              And we have different ideas of what “majority” means: !officemoe@ani.social, !thiccmoe@ani.social, !fitmoe@lemmy.world.

              My reasons for setting up the communities are explicitly non-pornographic, and even the quite sexy content is not the kind anyone faps to.

              Its about charachter art that is adorable and compelling in a way that provokes attachment. Not arousal, or at least not just that.

              The newest !smolmoe@ani.social specifically does not allow lewd content at all, even though it includes adult characters, because I know people like you would instantly make it weird.

              And it is weird, but not in the fucked up way you’re thinking of.

                What “vibe”? The only descriptive words this person used are “worst” and “loli” and the obvious extrapolation there is a beyond serius accusation.

                If you can acknowledge it’s not the “intent”, then why the fuck are you still “with” someone who seems to think that judging anime fans together with the absolute worst of humanity, is anywhere close to reasonable?

                  I absolutely didn’t acknowledge that it isn’t the intent, I said it may not be.

                  I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

                  You are so weirdly defensive about it. Almost like you know a lot of people find it highly questionable and they may have a point. If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken, and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

          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.

            Are you actually checking the creation dates on the communities?

            Or are you just mad that there are a lot of them, and that people actually post to them, even months after they get created, and so you end up seeing a new one now and then.

            Because as one of the biggest anime content posters, “every couple weeks” is just not the case. There’s daily content but it’s from a definite group of subs that you absolutely can block.

            Here, I even have a list: https://ani.social/post/284178

      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.

        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.

      What’s crazy to me is that I browse all and have very little blocked and I don’t see the huge amounts of whatever the posts are complaining about (except if the complaint is about US politics). Rarely see more than 1 or 2 anime related posts in about 2 communities. Almost never see porn of any kind; let alone furry stuff and I’m on an instance meant for it.

      Makes me wonder if they’re just getting a bug that some apps have where it just keeps repeating the same 5 posts as you scroll instead of correctly updating. That was the biggest issue I had with Connect and Liftoff.

        I’m the same. I browse All and don’t remember the last time I saw any anime communities. I see porn occasionally, but it doesn’t bother me. When I find a community I like, I subscribe to it. If it’s a community I don’t like, I’ll block it. Once Lemmy grows more, I’ll probably just switch over to my subscribed feed.

      yeah, it doesn’t make sense to complain, but browsing ALL and blocking what you never wanna see again leaves you with lots of neat stuff you wouldn’t have found sticking to your subscribed communities.

      however, i wish lemmy had categories/tags for communities, so people could block or specificly browse everything anime or everything sports etc. it would be quite helpful.

        Oh yeah, I can totally dig that, I had the trending communities at my subbed communities though, although I don’t see it popping up as often as it used to.

        I like Summit for Lemmy a lot because it let me create multi communities, so far I have one for gaming, one for retrogaming and other for handheld gaming, sadly Lemmy ain’t reddit yet (only the first two are fairly active).

        I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Lemmy needs customized feeds. You create a feed, You call it “Nintendo”. Then you create another catagory, “subscribed”. Then you open the subscribed catagory, and uncheck all the communities you’re subscribed to that relate to Nintendo.

        Then you open Nintendo, and uncheck all, then recheck all communities that DO relate to Nintendo.

        Now, if Nintendo has their direct, and it’s 11am because Japan isn’t in the same time zone as America, so you’re at work…you can browse “Subscribed” without being spoiled on the direct. Then, AFTER you get home, and watch the direct, you can browse by Subscribed + Nintendo, and you’ll see all your communities. Or browese by Nintendo, and ONLY see Nintendo communities that you’re subscribed to.

        Now do that for every catagory you subscribe to.

        You could browse by Nintendo + Pro Wrestling. Now you’re seeing a custom feed of JUST Nintendo related communities, and JUST Pro Wrestling communities mixed together in one feed. But you wouldn’t see your news communties, or your photography communities, or your porn communities.

        But if you browse by all, you should have 2 options, All-All, and All-Local. Which should both be self explainitory. But browsing by All, you shouldn’t get the right to complain that somethng exists. You can block it, and never see it again, but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t make a similiar community, and you can’t complain. Things exist. Deal with it.

        But we do need some more elaborate subscribe based feeds.

      All is how I browsed reddit, so it’s how I browse Lemmy too. Like others have said, it allows you to find new communities, and is a pleasant experience once you filter out all the trouble communities and instances.

      And TBF, Lemmy doesn’t have default communities and I’m too lazy/ADHD to subscribe to any of them.

        That is fair, browsing my subbed subreddits for more than 10 years was my way to go for Reddit (Reddit was my replacement for Feedly, basically, so I am used to curating my stuff).

        Maybe that is why, aside from the APIcalypse I don’t have a grudge against Reddit, and I missed some huge drama shit and toxic bs that you’d find in r/All (spam, bots and reposts too).

      How few interests do you have and how active are the communities? If I did just my subbed communities all the time it would be 2 day old politics and comedy subs with last post 2+ weeks ago.

      I guess maybe you don’t browse much or you’ve got a much more active set of core subs.

      (Maybe some of that unavoidable anime and femboy content IDK)

        Why do you want to browse stuff that you have zero interest in? I imagine it to be a massive waste of time.

        I’d prefer to view only the communities I’ve subbed to and see that there is no new contributions than look at stuff I have no interest in because I can turn off Lemmy and do something else with my day.

          How do you know what new things you have no interest in? I block the stuff I don’t like, I sub what I definitely do like (and occasionally browse it), and the rest I am happy to watch pass by and give up- or downvotes accordingly.

          This is like asking “why would you go to a new website when you already know what you like?” Or “why would you go to a new place to look for friends or dates when you know you like people at XXX place?”.

          Frankly, sorry, this perspective of “anything I haven’t subbed I obviously don’t like” is pretty fuckin stupid. Don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone thinking it.

            Likewise, I think it’s really stupid to be looking at content you have zero interest in. And likewise, don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone.

            Thanks for the belittling tone of your statement there 😉. You just have a different point of view.

            How can you waste so much time looking at content that you have zero interest in? Don’t you have stuff to actually do in life, or are you one of these people that get bored because you’ve got nothing to do?

            I’m a person that never gets bored. I always have something I want to do. I don’t have time to be doing things that aren’t necessary to survive and things I don’t enjoy.

            I know who I am, and what I like. My interests are quite broad and I know what I don’t want to see. I prefer to white list my interests on Lemmy than black list the things I have zero interest in. Even thought my interests are quite broad, white listing is significantly shorter. In an infinite number of interests, my 1000 interests are significantly shorter than infinity-1000.

            Edit: When I gain a new interest, which is usually a sub interest of another interest I have then I’ll look for the community on Lemmy/Reddit/other forums.

            When I first started Reddit many years ago I learnt that all is usually full of rage bait content. I avoid rage bait as much as possible. I guestimate that all on Lemmy is exactly the same since most Lemmy users were/are Reddit users.

              Live your best life yo, and have fun doing you. It would be cool to be young and know everything again.

              You don’t engage with new communities, neat. I like to keep an eye open, because out of infinity - 1000, there are still infinite communities I MIGHT like. Or even infinite - 2000 I don’t like too. Look at all the math I can do. Here’s an emoji 😍. Shut up, dude. Tell all your friends how well you know yourself, your perspective is still fucking stupid.

              Belittled because, here on the net, you are little. Just like everyone else.

        I’d suppose that, but so far all people that have replied to me say otherwise 😅

          MentalEdge goes on 7 day vacation.

          You: “Hello, police? I think MentalEdge has been kidnapped or murdered. I haven’t seen any anime titties lately!”

          Police: “…what is going on now?”

          Yeah :D

          It’s a pity not everyone wants me around, but I’m not going anywhere, so complaints are quite pointless.

            Don’t let them get you down. I feel like everything I post has SOME downvotes. People called me mentally deranged because I made a post in the Fediverse community that what the fediverse needs overall is for celebrities to call the fediverse home, and bring their userbases with them.

            You know how you might see a celebrity say “Follow me at @CelebrityName”. Well right now, that username is universal. They want that same exact username on twitter, on youtube, on instagram. And I suggested that we need to have more of a profile system on the fediverse. So when you register MentalEdge on one fediverse platform, you’re registering the name MentalEdge. Nobody else could have that. And sure, you might be MentalEdge@Lemmy.World, but if someone were to come to Lemmy, and knew who MentalEdge was, they’d just search @MentalEdge. Then the search would find you MentalEdge@Lemmy.World, and maybe you signed up to pixelfed, and it finds that too. Because you’re the only MentalEdge.

            People ignored the concept, and instead said “WE DON’T NEED CELEBRITIES HERE!!! AHHHH OTHER PEOPLE WHO AREN’T US ARE AWFUL!!!”

            But, in kindergarten I had a rough first day of school. Kids made fun of me. And when I came home, my great aunt edna gave me advice that applied 36 years ago, and it applies today.

            “FUCK EM! FUCK THE WHOLE LOT OF EM’! THEY DON’T KNOW SHIT! I BET THEY POOP THE BED EVERYNIGHT!”

            Great advice then, great advice now.

                And like I replied there, when’s the last time a celebrity gave out their email address? They care more about the username brand that works across all platforms. Their publicist may know where to email them, but for general fans, they just put out a username like @Username. You never see Username@email.domain. And the reason is because it would be too easy to grab a duplicate email and impersonate them. Which was the whole point of the post. Right now I could register Blaze (he/him)@piefed.social and if someone is on an interface that they don’t see which instance you’re home to (such as how I don’t see your home instance right now), I could be you. I could say things you whole heartedly disagree with, and if people thought I was you, they would attribute you to saying such things. Maybe offensive things. Maybe posting offensive or illegal pictures. And now you are credited with having done that, despite never having done that.

                So the risk for a celebrity being cancelled is too high for them to migrate to an unproven platform if they can’t even control their own username. Thus they won’t come, and thus the fediverse as a whole stays small and unknown as a result.

                  I maintain a list of alt accounts in my bio. I don’t care that much about that, if those impersonators (implying they use my profile picture, otherwise it’s just another Blaze, I have two friends called John, they’re not impersonating each other, they’re their own distinct person) get spotted, their accounts will probably get removed, they aren’t mine.

                  But I’m not a celebrity.

                  Should we report @MargotRobbie@lemmy.world and get that account banned?

            By the way, is this your first account or an alt? If it’s your first, how do you find Lemmy after a month?

              migrated after kbin.run got epstein’s so been around a hot minute.

              either way, deff won’t skip a chance to shill fediverse. personally i prefer mbin as my instance. big believer in decentralized social media and willing to suffer QoL hits for it. fediverse does fix the itch reddit used to fix so high hopes we can get it to the level where it becomes the defacto social media of the world without any of the nasty corpo bullshi that happened as result of web2.0.

    I browse by All, and rarely see them anymore. I think my instance and community blocking strategy must be working.
