Most of the sports-related communities seem to origin from the Fanaticus instance. Now if I could hide all posts from an instance right from Lemmy (without hiding comments from their users on posts outside of their instance) that would mostly solve the problem.
The idea of having community tags would be nice too, but we’d have to settle down on a taxonomy that isn’t too broad or precise and that has a localized version so that all languages can link to the same taxonomy.
Is this not available via the web interface? Sync lets you block entire communities.
Add gaming while you’re at it. I’m a former gamer but I’m in full on grandpa mode at this point and sick of seeing it.
Both would be even better…
especially cause all sport content I see is American, and I know nothing about sports already, let alone American
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
More boobs, fewer balls.

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? 😕
Well I’d still like to be clean.
Or a “hide all political posts” button. As an American, I already hate the next few months as the next generation of liars run for President.
This makes me sad because politics are very important, but the media has turned it into such garbage that people have become indifferent.
Yes please holy fuck…
You’re sick of it? At least it’s relevant to you.
What I’m sick of finding out is what various American ex news outlet anchors are doing. Who cares? Why are news anchors celebrities in the United States, it’s weird.
Yeah I’ll ask for the “Hide US” button
New generation? That would be a change
As a European, US politics is a good comedy
As if our politics weren’t a shitshow. In almost every country parties ride the christo-fascist wave popularized by the American right wing.
Comedy / Horror
I wonder why it seems to be a different experience for everyone. Must be instance related, no? I mostly saw Linux, memes, technology and politics before blocking them.
I also don’t see any sports stuff when I’m on lemmy.world, which I think is the same instance as the original poster? I don’t know what’s accounting for my different experience either.
I have great news for everyone in this thread wanting to block specific topics… you can block words in post titles on most apps! I don’t know if that works on computer though
Can you do that with Jerboa?
This is a brilliant shower thought. I had the same thought recently.
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
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?
Easy to be the world champion in egg handball if you’re the only country that plays that version of egg handball.
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
It will when we stop being the Republic and get this Empire phase rolling.
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.
I need one for politics
Or politics.
Or religion.
Hide all sports related content, no question!
