Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years.
Anyways, what communities do you recommend?
So. Much. Furry. Porn.
I e basically gotten to a point where my subscriptions make up such a long list of things I’m even tangentially interested in that I don’t even browse all anymore. I locked so much of the furry porn, but maybe opening all of the communities to block them manually made my feed think I was into it?
Lemmy doesn’t cater the All feed to you like other social media platforms - it doesn’t take into account which posts you open, which posts you upvote, etc.
I’m new here. I never realized how much I’ve always hated the entire concept of an algorithm until now. This is amazing.
It’s almost all on a couple instances. I don’t remember if lemmy supports instance blocking yet, but several apps do, so it’s a lot easier to block that way.
Lemmy supports instance blocking as of version 0.19. Some clients also support instance blocking for pre-0.19 instances.
There’s no algorithm feeding you content on Lemmy, which I think most of its denizens regard as a good thing. I certainly do. You’ve got to self-curate! Of course, some of the curation occurs at the instance level, with admins defederating other instances. But you’re free to make accounts on any number of instances, or even host your own! I think Lemmy’s really grown on me.
And yeah, there’s lots of furry porn, if you’re into that.
My client is just set to not display nsfw posts. I never see it and I’ve blocked very few communities.
