A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

My blocked community list got significantly shorter when they introduced instance blocking. Got pretty tired of playing furry porn community whackamole.
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
I would love it if blocking all users from an inatance was available as a separate option from the users. I think the majority of my blocked users are from two instances.
Hexbear and lemmy.ml?
The fact that you can so easily guess which two instances proves it would be a useful tool to be able to block all their users.
Yes, those two.
Good to know! I didn't want to miss out on @[email protected] comments, but now I won't have to worry about it.
I did. Those usernames are too distracting and shout "look at me!", so I'm filtering all of them.
I totally agree. Before I found the option to disable custom display names, I found that guy insufferable...2024 equivalent of xXxUSERNAMExXx. I don't think I've noticed him since, though I'm sure I've read his comments
Coincidentally, the furry porn whack-off-a-mole community is not very popular.
Be the change you want to see. (:
I'm this close to blocking ani.social as well because it's mostly softcore porn. I like Anime, but not like this.
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.
I'm gonna need a list of these ridiculous communities. You know, to block them. /S
