I'm fairly new here and I'd like to use it more, but, there are a variety of general categories of communities that I'd like to never see. So instead of blocking them 1 by 1 as they pop up I'd like to have the ability to say "Block all communities that are sports related" for instance.

I realize the alternative is to look only at the ones you subscribe to but then how do you discover other communities that were just created without flipping back to Show Me Everything?

Man that would be awesome. It's taken me weeks to get rid of all the sports crap

What, you don't want to talk about that ludicrous display last night?

The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in!

I see you, and I appreciate you.

Come over some night, we'll watch some sportsball.

Ok. At least it's not just me noticing communities for a bazillion small sports teams every backwater location in the US.

Whaddya mean you don't wanna see the Podunk Loggers vs. the Backwaterville Polecats.

Don't we all wish so.

...how do you discover other communities that were just created without flipping back to Show Me Everything?

You can follow the following communities for this purpose:

!newcommunities@lemmy.world

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

Doesn't really address the overall issue of filtering out a massive amount of communities that are of no interest to a user though. I just jumped on there. There are 17 new communities. 1 of which might be of interest. That ratio sounds like an awful grind to keep up with.

Porn should have a mandatory option to check off so it's universally marked as porn.

So that you can just block out all communities about porn.

I'm so sick of the constant porn. There's more porn on my all feed than not porn.

I blocked like 10-15 today.

Like my lemmy experience feels like it's turned into solely porn dodging.

Dodge-porn... Ha sounds like a game.

Boobs! Ha missed me!

Butts! Almost!

Slightly unround nipples in public! MISSED AGAIN!

How many times do I have to find out a Carpet community has nothing to do with flooring!?

Don't tell me c/hardwood isn't about flooring either.....

Most of the third party apps have the ability to just straight hide all nsfw posts so you don’t ever have to see them.

[–] Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It must be your instance. I see no point on my all and but tons on another account t's all.

Hmm I'm on shjustworks. Part of it could be because of viewing by new. I probably login when Germany is having their morning pickle taming.

I think we’d need a category system to allow people to weed out categories. As far as I know we don’t have to categorise communities when we create them, which means unless you’re relying on keywords you’re going to struggle to (pun intended) categorically block everything relating to a thing you don’t like.
