Porn: there's so much of it on here. If I didn't block most of it, it'd be half my feed
Sports: I simply do not give a shit about the stats of some cricket game I didn't know about
Anime: I'm frankly just sick of the art style that so much of it shares. I don't dislike anime as a rule but for a lot of shows, you could drop any character into another anime and they'd fit right in. And on top of that, I can't stand the hyper sexualization of immature female characters that is so prevalent in the genre. I don't think middle schoolers are hot so I don't like when "sexy" characters act like one
The worst part about meme subs is that they have a decade of subreddits to repost from. I know...insert xkcd comic about being the lucky 10,000...but personally I've seen all those reposts of overused templates 100 times over the years and don't want to see them again
I'm with you there. It took me a bit to block some trans communities because I felt like it made me a bigot despite being an ally. I just have nothing to add to the conversation so it's the same as sports communities - just something I scrolled past anyway
I added that one fast for the same reason. I am not an anime-hater but there's way too much horny anime getting posted for my liking. Too many -chan characters that look basically identical middle schoolers.
Oh man I totally agree about the repeating themes. That's true even on the non-porn communities...especially during the gold rush to copy every single subreddit but none of the rules that made them unique
I don't really use Lemmy for porn but I don't mind seeing it since I have NSFW posts blurred. Aside from sexuality/kinks I'm not into, I block a lot of communities with users that post like 20 things at once.
Oh yeah, I didn't think about the Linux communities...I do have a lot of those distro-specific ones blocked. And a bunch of communities for software I don't use
I have 7 instances blocked. I'm really glad that you can block instances while not blocking the users of those instances. Like I don't want to see any posts from yiffit but being a furry doesn't mean your comments aren't worth reading, ya know?
The other blocked instances are porn and language-specific instances just to clean up my feed
