I've blocked the whole instance ani.social and since then I don't get softcore anime tits anymore.
Was a tough choice because instances usually host a ton of other communities and users but it just became unbearable like you mentioned.
edit: a side-effect is that users from a blocked instance replying to your comments will not show up in your inbox. Figured I should mention that so you can weigh the pro's and con's
Ok but how do I add anime titties to my feed?
Create an account in that instance and set default sort to local?

I just blocked ani.social
That wonβt work if you do want some anime content, but I donβt get any moe communities anymore
Yeah, same thing worked for me.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly... Just looked in my block list and I've blocked yiffit.net and like 6 or so anime communities, and I don't remember the last time I had anime in my all feed.
Btw, I think yiffit.net shut down a few months ago
It shut down on the new year
pawb.social
~3months old account
Rip your old account:/
Join the hellfire club! Everyday could be your account's last.
Same problem. Why does every single individual anime need their own VERY specific instance?
Just supposition but a few reasons I can think of...
There must be a lot of crossover between people who have the skills to host an instance, people who have the time to host an instance, and people who enjoy this type of imagery.
Also, there's no honor among thieves.
These ~~guys~~ persons are flirting with danger in many cases. I'm pretty sure the law in my jurisdiction considers anime to be CSAM if a reasonable person is likely to conclude that the person depicted is a minor.
What I'm saying is someone might be willing to walk that line with whatever niche community they want to host because they can manage their own risks. However it would be a huge risk to host other communities lest you fall afoul of the law.
It really isn't that much IMO. You'll get used to blocking more. Don't keep scrolling and just block what you don't want while being respectful of others that do like it. I have somewhere around 300 blocked communities in nearly 2 years all for various reasons. This ain't reddit. No one is manipulating you for retention, but no one is tailoring and babying you either. It takes a little effort to prune the list. Most if not all of this is on reddit too, but you were less targeted by it there, assuming that is where you come from. It took me awhile to adjust to this mentality. Now I am not bothered at all by simply blocking each community. There are not more than a dozen or so people regularly posting anime stuff that I can see from my account on LW.
Yeah agreed, I had to do it too for French and German stuff, I wish I could read whatever theyβre posting but I canβt so I just block it but mean no offense.
At this point there are so many of them, its literally just spam. Also, a lot of the time it's very NSFW stuff that doesn't get flagged at all.
are you blocking the actual communities because like I don't know what might be wrong with my feed but I don't even think I have seen 10 communitites. are you maybe just blocking users?
Blocking users would actually probably be more efficient because the majority of those posts come from just one or two accounts.
I mean I have not been paying much attention except for church of thighentology but just checked there and a quick scroll or two showed different people posting.
Block instances?
Wouldn't it be easier to just subscribe to what you want to see instead of blocking what you don't want to see?
I can't speak for OP but personally, I want to help as many small lil communities as I can as I think that's the best way to expand.
This is a sorting feature of Lemmy, your Subscription feed shows only the communities you've subscribed too. But with Lemmy being small-ish in daily active users, sorting by All isn't too uncommon. I'm pretty sure this is what's going on with OP, or at least that what I assumed here.
I think I actually managed to block them all, as I haven't seen any in a while now. I also have an instance-level block on Ani.social
I haven't seen a lot of this at all. In the last week with daily visits there would be less than half a dozen I've seen.
Loads of web UIs (photon & tesseract) as well as android apps (thunder) blur NSFW images optionally.
I know one person who posts anime in one community, never seen any other related posts, communities or instances.
