I would also like lemmy to be more smart about detecting languages, because individuals don't set the language and I'm constantly blocking communities from Austria or whatever simply because I can't read them, not because I hate Austria, it's delightful there

Unless it's NSFW sports content

I'd love to be able to block an entire instance. @lemmynsfw has a tonne of creepy-ass communities dedicated to posting pictures of female celebrities. There's never any sort of real content, just celebrities, sometimes in revealing clothes, and creepy titles like "beautiful" or "wow" or something like that.

Was just scrolling through the All feed and saw one for Sadie Sink. The entire thing gives me the willies, it's so gross.

People have different tastes. The best way is to add a tag system (probably tags that are applied to entire communities)

For a while, random posts would just transform into baseball live post, with the comments for unrelated posts below. The post was on the METS win, and the comments were talking about how this would help liberate Bakhmut. It's fixed now, sadly.

Block the community and never see it again.

What sports content? There isn't any. I'd rather be able to hide tech

Sports, Religion and War, the 3 most wasteful activities humans have invented.

I need one for politics

You are not alone.

Not gonna lie, I love sports and don’t see any on my feed. In fact I’m subbed to a lot and even my subscribed tab is very sparse.

Most of the sports-related communities seem to origin from the Fanaticus instance. Now if I could hide all posts from an instance right from Lemmy (without hiding comments from their users on posts outside of their instance) that would mostly solve the problem.

The idea of having community tags would be nice too, but we'd have to settle down on a taxonomy that isn't too broad or precise and that has a localized version so that all languages can link to the same taxonomy.

I just block the community

I would rather have a filter that would hide any content that is related to chosen topics.

Both would be even better...

This isn't a problem for me. I just block out those instances. Also I swap to the everything feed every so often to find new communities to sub to, then usually go back to subscription feed.
