More like hide all the furry boards
Shh… you can block communities. (You habe to see them at least once though :/)
There’s like 800 different furry communities, all for extremely specific fetishes.
Unfortunately I already know that gamer move
Still, hiding all of them automatically would be nice
Apparently you can block from within a comments section now. That’s slightly safer than going to a community front page…
If they’re all on the same instance, there app that can block entire instances.
use this comment as a handy shortcut
I literally never seen anything Furry on Lemmy, but it took me 2 minutes on Bkuesky to find not one but two prolific Bara artists.
I’ve seen community names on a list that were furry stuff, but so far have not come across any.
That shit is so fucked. At least the sexual stuff. But even the look of more innocent kinds puts me off, personally. I’m ok with that kind existing, but I don’t wanna see it.
Yes! in my streaming service too please
This with the power of a thousand suns
Same. Though can we also add a button to hide all content pertaining to US state politics? “The governor of Arkansas-” I live in The Netherlands, that shit has no bearing on me
Same ! I live in india , but seems like i am wayyy to updated with us political news !ugh
Well, since we’re here, what are the big news where you live these days?
To be fair, I am Lithuanian and a lot of stuff online goes like અને પછી તેઓ કેટલીક અસ્પષ્ટ ભાષા બોલવાનું શરૂ કરે છે
I got used to it, you just need to look at the US as a union of states like Europe, in which case Arkansas is about equivalent to Lithuania in population (although if you correct for the more states and less pop of the US you get Bulgaria or Finland if you use a ranked method) . The same could be done for China, India and Brazil.
Sir, how dare you insult Lithuania like that.
Alright, polandball time: I’ll ask around the EU++ who wants to play Arkansas in the school play…if nobody takes it, I’m giving it to Hungary :D because they’re being a dick lately. So, which state do you want? I hear Idaho’s nice :) Germany already took California, France took New York, Italy took Texas, Spain took Florida, the Netherlands took Pennsylvania, Poland took Illinois, Romania got Georgia, Sweden asked for Michigan and Austria asked for Massachusets, Finland got offered Indiana, but picked Arizona, lol etc etc…do you want Wisconsin? Also: UK guest starring as Canada lol
Idaho, the mountainous parts, are nice. Some of the people are nice. But in general, Idaho has some of the most batshit insane stuff happening in it in regards to cults and crazy people. It’s been getting crazier in recent years. They were an absolute mess during the pandemic and needed tons of help from other states who then couldn’t look after locals in need.
I was trying to be inclusive, because I’m not american and I don’t want to disparage those places I’ve never been to or know that well…but since you say it…rural states sound like a backwater nightmare :/
Didn’t realize Lithuania was under 3 million. For some reason I had it in my head that they were closer to 4-5. Insane.
It will when we stop being the Republic and get this Empire phase rolling.
A huge part of that is american-centric attitudes though. There is the politics sub on Lemmy.world and it’s only for US politics. But it’s not called “usonlypolitics” it’s called “politics”. Somehow they don’t see the problem with that.
Also the mods are been absolutely bellends about it and are refusing to even acknowledge that that is a problem.
But why would the world champions of egg handball see a problem with this?
This makes more sense than sports filter lol Fuck that USA politics ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
As an american, yes please lol
Lol
I kinda like it as a soap opera. I hate actual soaps, but this is a better version to watch.
I can go through so much popcorn.
I must admit some of it is so hilarious and farcical it does seem like a soap opera… I put on US news for a short spurt every day for giggles… Until that commercial comes on with the slimy woman advertising a deodorant cream she puts in her butt crack
Her facial expressions and those in all that type of commercial piss me off so much
For real man
Is Lemmy just not showing me sports content? I don’t like sports at all and this would bother me if it was constant, but I only see the occasional sports post.
Same — I don’t recall a single sports-related post — not even a meme. Maybe my instance already defederated from all the home servers of these communities (I think that’s how it works?).
It would be nice if every community had to pick a tag associated with it so that you can automatically filter out communities you have no interest in. E.g. Politics, news, memes, sports, tech, celebrities, TV/Movies, etc…
That’s a great idea. I’d prefer this instead of instances that are mainly focused on specific topics
I’d filter out Mr [Trump] and similar ilk immediately.
“Hide all American news” would basically fix 50% of the issues.
With Sync you can just pre-emptively filter based on keywords.
Hentai is my favourite sport
Thanks, I never knew this is a thing.
I love not having to see any posts about Elon or Shitter. Sync is great.
I love Sync!
You little
Please tell me those are your whitelist keywords
No. This is a perfect start of a blacklist.
Horrible. Next thing you know he is gonna block furry porn and wincest
I really wish there could be tags and sub-tags.
Tag examples:
- Politics
- Sport
- Anime
- News
- AI
Sub-tag examples:
- US
- Europe
- Africa
- Basketball
- Volleyball
- F1
Some sort of curated list by Lemmy developers that might change over time depending on user demand.
Then client apps can fetch such list from any server and allow you to apply such filter.
Imagine being able to block whole category of sports? Anime? News? Whatever people want/don’t want.
I would like the platform itself to support this, as I often use the website.
That’s why he said Lemmy developers, not instance developers.
I think this is the only good thing Tildes has with tags, tags can work as sub-comunities inside a sublemmy.
This would be freaking awesome. Doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult to add, but then again, I’m not a developer.
I don’t think I’ve seen a single post about sports in Lemmy. Ever. Same with mastodon.
I don’t think the group of people interested in sports and the group of tech savvy that use the fediverse overlap that much!
So why the shower though(t)? 😕
Well I’d still like to be clean.

I’d love a fediverse-wide tagging system for various kinds of NSFW (porn, gore, death…), Sports (ideally also by discipline), Anime, Music (again, with genres), Gaming etc. to hand-pick what I absolutely don’t want to see.
On some Mastodon clients you can block hashtags, and on Lemmy you can block communities, so we’re already pretty close. To do more would require a lot of self-tagging of posts and not everyone will do that. Or it would require analytics and automatic tagging that may not be accurate and would theoretically be a privacy nightmare.
I can never rely on people to self-tag posts. But tagging communities would be much more manageable and helpful.
Do it like AO3 and enforce only about a dozen mandatory tags, and allow ‘choose not to tag’ tag if you don’t want to tag, and you can choose to filter out the choose not to tag content…
Maybe communities should come with default tags. That would make it a lot easier.
And with apps we can filter text.
Honestly, I say we ditch NSFW as a on/off switch and go with a mandatory tagging system. We can clarify NSFW into content warning tags, e.g.
CW - Gore,CW - Death,CW - Breast,CW - Genitalia.Users could then set their own preferences on which tags would cause a post to be masked or simply hidden.
But why stop there? Tags could be very useful in our federated environment to help communities mesh better with each other.
Communities could be able to specify a list of mandatory tags, i.e. the Swallow community could require posts specify
African SwalloworEuropean Swallow(or both or neither). Communities could also make some tags implied, so the AfricanSwallow community might just imply that posts areAfrician Swallowunless user changes it.Underneath the hood, all tags are just treated as part of the post text, so the backend performance impact will be minimal. However moderation tools would be able to consider tags when deciding how to handle a post.
Of course, the server/instance owner can then simply make a policy of what kinds of content warnings they require, and communities can then build other tags on that to meet their community needs.
Yes but what is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?
Here I am trying to find sports content.
I have yet to see active sports talk or news. But I’m also still figuring out this whole place.
Not going to happen anytime soon. Lemmy seems to have mostly drawn in early tech adopters, communists, Europeans who hate cars, and not-quite-pedophiles-but-close-enough-that-it-makes-me-concerned types.
I have yet to find any decent sports discussion here or anywhere in the fediverse.
Yeh I’d love a “hide all elon/twitter/x” toggle.
Where is the “hide all americans” button?
Especially US politics. I couldn’t care less.
Or as some Americans say, “I could care less”
It’d take effort to care any less than I currently do. And I don’t care enough to reduce my interest any further.
For any passing Americans who are thinking “what’s the difference?”, please take 3 minutes to find out.
Since you’ve apparently seen so many, I would love for you to link me to a sports community that is actually active. Everything out there is completely dead, usually with one person reposting content from reddit or Twitter.
Haha that is true… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sports community while browsing ‘All’.
I’d love a way to block “all anime / hentai / manga” related topics and posts.
That stuff is everywhere, and invades everything. Like a cancer. Even communities which aren’t anime related. I’ll be subscribed to some community because I’m into the topic the community is based on - which has nothing to do with anime- and then some damn anime fan comes along and posts some weird/creepy “anime/hentai version of [topic]” and then it just spirals from there, and another community turns into another fucking anime community.
Believe it or not, not everyone on the internet is obsessed with Japanese style animation, and the associated (weird/creepy) sexualization of such drawn/animated characters.
What is most creepy about it is that all the “women” look like kids. They look like little girls with really big boobs. I don’t understand the appeal.
Almost every “comics” community I’ve joined on here has gone from people talking about actual published comics to people postin webcomics and their own works within days.
I dont think I’ve literally ever seen that happen and I’ve been on the Internet since I could walk
I guess we have different interests / see different things on the internet. But it definitely happens. Often.
I’m the same, I routinely filter out anime stuff. Probably the most annoying thing is that I started playing FFXiV and now my in-line adverts are for gaccha anime crap and generally super cringe/bonk horny.
