I have no real interest in anime. As far as I can remember, I’ve never clicked on any anime related links on Lemmy, but it seems like every other post I see is about anime, a lot of them have to do with someone or something called Moe. I keep blocking them, but more show up. How do I stop it?
There’s no algorithm here so clicking on something doesn’t affect what you see afterward.
If you’re browsing “All”, then you’re seeing posts from everywhere. The anime is a large part of that but you can make all of it disappear with a few blocked communities as the content really only shows up in a few of them. Once you’ve put them on your block list, you won’t see any of that content in your “all” feed.
I mean its definitely not just a few. Probably >50 anime/manga/lewd communities. I know because im subscribed to half of em. Would be nice if lemmy got community groups that you can bulk follow/block.
In piefed they are under feeds. It works really well. Hopefully Lemmy can get the same soon?

I wish there was a ‘negative feed’. There’s not enough content to just subscribe to the biking feed, for instance. I either hyperfixate on something or forget about it entirely, so I’m not really able to pace myself to wait 2 weeks for a topic feed to refill.
If I could unsubscribe from all anime character art but keep using /all, that would be perfect.
I want All, but not like All, just like Some, but like, I don’t have to tell anyone what Some is and the Some is listed as All and it automatically updates the Some to be the Some that I want in All today based on my mood without telling anyone.
yes, exactly
(but mostly I just want to unsubscribe from categories)
Is that different from blocking communities?
Not gonna lie thats what I use RSS for. I have a couple for communities that are super interesting that I want a backlog. But yeah I’m almost never on all.
BlueSky apparently has some sort of “curated feeds” that a user can subscribe to, which seemed like a good idea to me. The Threadiverse doesn’t presently have something like that, though.
I’d like to have block, subscribe, and “flag with indicator” functionality for instances, users, posts, and comments.
Lemmy is full of algorithms…
I think they mean that there are no personally curated algorithms, like what YouTube and other popular Social Media use to cater towards each specific user.
It’s the public algorithm, not the personalized algorithms that are the problem. For example Lemmy.world will show posts with few upvotes at the top on the homepage and not show posts with hundreds of upvotes.
You can switch your default view from “hot” and I highly recommend it.
For my home feed I use “scaled” and for the all feed I use top 12 hours.
Pretending that most people think content curation algorithms are the only kind of algorithm just makes you look like a dick, not smart.
No, you’re an algorithm
