How exactly would that work? Or, perhaps more specifically, how would the app know whats anime and whats not? muting and blocking the communities yourself would be far easier IMO.

Wrong way of asking it.

“Option to tag anime content” and let people choose if they want to hide it or see every post with that tag.

I’d add more tags (politics, sports, …) but…

NSFW tags are built into Lemmy and therefore it’s possible to turn that off (whether using Boost, another client, or simply the web front-end). There’s no anime tag, so you’re basically asking for some kind of chatgpt-esque automagic detection of your disfavored content to filter it out.

Much easier to either block what you aren’t interested in from all, or curate what you DO want to see via subscribed, no?

I’m happy with just blocking channels with content I don’t want to see rather than use any nsfw etc type filters. Seems to be tuning things well after a week of blocking.

Boost has features already available to block various communities and sites. As much as I would like to see Lemmy implement and enforce a robust tagging system like some sites were probably never going to have that.

You could also probably minimize your exposure by blocking the Japanese character set and popular sites such as pixiv, deviantart, *booru and catbox. But anime is mainstream now, just look at McDonald’s clever advertising scheme.

But if you would like to pioneer that feature, I would suggest posting your feature request to lemmy’s GitHub since this is a bit beyond the ability of a client. And perhaps learn a new skill and implement that feature yourself.

You’ve gotta block the communities yourself. I feel your pain, but what you’re requesting isn’t going to happen.

Every time I come across an anime community, I block it. But there are so many that keep popping up…

My block list is filled with so many anime, furry, and shitposting communities. It’s a bit annoying and an uphill battle, but you’ve got to go to their communities and block them individually (but also block the anime instances).

You could probably just block ani.social and that be it. Im already in talks with the owner of touchfluffytail to move it there for that very reason actually

Have Boost block every third post, that would probably get most of it. /s
