Way, WAY too many suggestive/sexualized anime image communities to have to block. We all have our fetishes so I'm not begrudging them (although some of them are... unsettling even to my sick mind), but the number of communities in my blocklist made up of such content is simply insane. I wish there were categories standardized across instances/platforms that each community needed to associate itself with so I could block everything matching that in one fell swoop. I'll also never be interested in professional sports-related communities, for example.

    Serious question, have you considered defaulting to subscribed rather than /all/?

    I prefer using all because I'm routinely coming across new communities I'm interested in, never mind I don't want to live in a bubble.

    I'm guessing this is a piefed problem (I'm not a user there) but Lemmy.world has been great for me. My suggestion is using lemmy.world and dabbling in piefed. Piefed will need a bit of time I'm assuming.

    Actually, this is an alt account I only use occasionally. Main account is on lemmings.world, which is where I experience this.

    fwiw on lemmy in Settings I turn off "Show NSFW Content" and "Show Bot Accounts" and that improves things dramatically.
