I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!
Yes. My block list is YUGE.
For a second I wasn’t sure if I had posted this and just didn’t remember it
Do yourself a favour and search for and block communities in these
Futa
Yiff
Hentai
Moe
FurHaven’t seen any of that shit for a few days
?
I don’t see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?
Yes, OP’s post is unpopular.
I would also like to sign up for Anime news and updates.
Please lmk how to do this.
For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on “all” (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by “hot” (the default).
I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.
…And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn’t even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.
What a drag.
This has been my experience. Not complaining tbh but yeah when people complain about how they see “so much x” I begin to wonder if the rage-algo kicked in
You might try ani.social instance for more anime.
I’ve had to block a lot of anime subs. It was a problem for a while, but now I hardly see any.
Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.
Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:
Block the instance
Those moe are the worst because the majority are borderline loli.
Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.
Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.
I got the impression it’s just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.
I had to do this for US politics but I don’t recall when I saw an anime related post.
It comes and goes in waves I believe. There was a time when you’d see a wave of Moe themed communities. The same has happened for music, and ai too. If you haven’t seen it, or don’t recall, then count yourself lucky.
Just go to the subscribed section so you don’t have to deal with them.
Just block the instance
Instances, plural. Hundreds of them. Hundreds of blocks.
Then, after the general and porn communities have been blocked, the specific show communities pop up. At least the anime fans on lemmy aren’t insufferable.
It’s not just anime, but also (in my experience) music, games, and ai. They seem to feel that there needs to be a community for every. single. possible. sub-genre. 😞
You can say the same for politics, memes, and many other genres for that matter. And I have no doubt there are those that are bothered by it too. Yes, we can all hide away under our local or subscribed feeds, but that’s a narrow-minded and xenophobic solution. We all should be able to scroll whatever feed, using whatever sort, we choose to use and not be assailed and harassed by these fervent die-hard (possibly ocd) “fans” of whatever genre du jour there happens to be.
It’s a shame that Lemmy does not have a way to tag communities by genre. And it’s a shame most communities probably wouldn’t use it even if it were supported. It would not only help filtering out specific content, but conversely it would help with content discovery. Of course there is also any potential for abuse, because let’s face it, there are those that will just because they can. But I do t feel that’s worth not having a useful feature like tagging or whatever you want to call it.
Your anime is not unique enough to not just be posted in one mega anime community. That’s easier to block. Probably has the same voice actors, too.
They chill until they post sexy pictures of 16 year old characters.
Then you post the age of the character in the post. That more fun than blocking.
I browse all and sort by top month, I’ve seen 2 or 3 anime subs, blocked them, and haven’t seen anything since?
I wish I could just block everything from the internet
I think that’s called not paying the internet bill
Just don’t join them?
I don’t. I’m constantly. CONSTANTLY blocking the new ones that pop up on the feed
I never see any because I didn’t join them.
