Lemmy for me is all Linux, politics, boobs, anime and sports. I’m a straight woman who hates sports and anime, has a surface interest in Linux but doesn’t wish to debate about it, and likes to be knowledgeable about both world and US politics but hates the anger. I’m really debating if Lemmy is for me, but I won’t go back to reddit and I need someplace to browse when the insomnia strikes.
Sorry for this, feel free to block all of the communities related to the topics. That should allow smaller ones to come to your feed.
Pictures, food, movies communities are rising, there is hope
Sports, Religion and War, the 3 most wasteful activities humans have invented.
Oh my fucking God yes. Every individual pro (nfl?) football team has a sub Every individual pro fifa (whatever) soccer team has a sub Every individual ice hockey team has a sub Polo. Formula 1. COLLEGE football teams! College football divisions! And whos going to the super bowl. Basketball. A sub for who’s going to make it to the final 5. Volleyball. Whatever big volleyball bullshit is. And then relevant WOMENS versions for all of these (no extra hate, just extra numbers) Baseball! Baseball teams history!
Then there’s leagues! Big10. The other big conference! Every coalition for Soccer. Conferences for Basketball. Divisions for hockey. Like holy shit! There’s more categories for sports than nsfw!
EDIT: I need to add that I did the math in another comment: there are (For a US citizen) 32 NFL teams and 113 College football teams. 32 Fifa Soccer teams. 29 US Mens soccer clubs (plus 3 Canadian). 12 More Women’s Soccer teams -only one league. 10 Formula 1drivers/teams. 8 womens volleyball teams. 30 mens baseball teams (29US 1 Canada). 32 teams in the NHL. and lastly, 30 NBA teams. In total this is 331 “Teams” and is the bare minimum before consulting each city will post about a game, individual players with followings, and broad subs like “MLB” is different from “Orioles” and results in more subs needed to block
Give us an option to block memes as well then, my biggest issue with Lemmy is the tsunami of terrible and practically unavoidable memes. I don’t ever see sports content, rarely see NSFW content, there is a fair amount of Elon spam, but really the worst are the memes. Even doing my best to hide the meme communities they are unavoidable.
Same. Though can we also add a button to hide all content pertaining to US state politics? “The governor of Arkansas-” I live in The Netherlands, that shit has no bearing on me
Or politics.
Or religion.
People have different tastes. The best way is to add a tag system (probably tags that are applied to entire communities)
As a person from a country that has near zero knowledge, awareness, and enthusiasm for American Football, I agree.
Is Lemmy just not showing me sports content? I don’t like sports at all and this would bother me if it was constant, but I only see the occasional sports post.
or us politics
More boobs, fewer balls.
What sports content? There isn’t any. I’d rather be able to hide tech
i see multiple posts from the NFL, Hockey and football(soccer) communities daily on my all feed. I don’t care about sports, I care about life and world views, as well as tech. Sports is really nothing more than showing off who can be the biggest asshole
Where is the “hide all americans” button?
Especially US politics. I couldn’t care less.
Or as some Americans say, “I could care less”
For any passing Americans who are thinking “what’s the difference?”, please take 3 minutes to find out.
More like hide all the furry boards
Shh… you can block communities. (You habe to see them at least once though :/)
There’s like 800 different furry communities, all for extremely specific fetishes.
Or a “hide all political posts” button. As an American, I already hate the next few months as the next generation of liars run for President.
You’re sick of it? At least it’s relevant to you.
What I’m sick of finding out is what various American ex news outlet anchors are doing. Who cares? Why are news anchors celebrities in the United States, it’s weird.
