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.

or us politics

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.

With Sync you can just pre-emptively filter based on keywords.

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.

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

As a person from a country that has near zero knowledge, awareness, and enthusiasm for American Football, I agree.

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

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

Or politics.

Or religion.

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

More like hide all the furry boards

I really wish there could be tags and sub-tags.

Tag examples:

• Politics
• Sport
• Anime
• News
• AI

Sub-tag examples:

• US
• Europe
• Africa
• Basketball
• Volleyball
• F1

Some sort of curated list by Lemmy developers that might change over time depending on user demand.

Then client apps can fetch such list from any server and allow you to apply such filter.

Imagine being able to block whole category of sports? Anime? News? Whatever people want/don’t want.

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