Hide all sports related content, no question!

Unless it's NSFW sports content

What sports content? There isn't any. I'd rather be able to hide tech

I would also like lemmy to be more smart about detecting languages, because individuals don't set the language and I'm constantly blocking communities from Austria or whatever simply because I can't read them, not because I hate Austria, it's delightful there

For a while, random posts would just transform into baseball live post, with the comments for unrelated posts below. The post was on the METS win, and the comments were talking about how this would help liberate Bakhmut. It's fixed now, sadly.

People have different tastes. The best way is to add a tag system (probably tags that are applied to entire communities)

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

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.

You are not alone.

YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.

And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don't understand its popularity.

A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc..

Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.

A boobs/celeb/shoes button

A religion button.

People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.

Not gonna lie, I love sports and don’t see any on my feed. In fact I’m subbed to a lot and even my subscribed tab is very sparse.

Both would be even better...

[-] AndreyAsimow@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I would rather have a filter that would hide any content that is related to chosen topics.

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

This isn't a problem for me. I just block out those instances. Also I swap to the everything feed every so often to find new communities to sub to, then usually go back to subscription feed.

especially cause all sport content I see is American, and I know nothing about sports already, let alone American

Showerthoughts

34058 readers
522 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
