After you block a few hundred groups of anime and nonsense it’s surprisingly enjoyable.

    At least 1 more than the fucking aigen communities, I swear I have to block a new one every week.

    Still waiting for an app with curated block lists.

    Block the ani.social instance and it takes away 90% of the anime groups.

    I'm pretty sure blocking (if you're using a Lemmy instance anyway, which looks like you are) doesn't block users, but only the communities from the instance you're blocking. I think I've heard that Piefed blocks more extensively though, probably including users.

    When you block that many groups how many new posts do you see? And how do you sort the posts?

    I have only blocked a few groups but added a filter for posts containing trump or elon in the title as I get plenty of that crap from other sources.

    Regarding the anime and furry posts, they come in waves so it's not constant or if I want to get a break from the yiffing I switch between sorting by Hot, Scaled and Top 6hrs.

    Not who you are asking, but I block a lot of communities (almost all of them political, when I want to look at political stuff I will go to other sources.) But I also sub to a lot of communities. It is possible for me to reach the bottom of my feed, but since I mostly check it between doing other things, it takes anywhere from a few hours to most of the day. And that's with me setting it to "Top Day" as my primary filter. If I'm really bored I'll do a pass through Top Week or Top Month. If I'm STILL bored, I'll set it to Active or New Comments, but usually by then it's like, "Okay time to go do something else" and I'll try to find some other activity to do.

    This is a feature, not a bug IMO.
